Air suspension systems are expected to do something that sounds relatively simple. They must maintain vehicle ride height, respond to changing loads, provide ride comfort, and do so while operating efficiently across a wide range of conditions. In practice, achieving that balance is far more challenging than it appears. Whether the application is a commercial truck, bus, or premium passenger car, air suspension performance is influenced by a combination of pneumatic behavior, mechanical...
