Working Principle

The core working principle of air shock absorber is to absorb the impact energy by using the compressibility of air and the elastic effect generated by the volume change. The specific principles are as follows:

• Air charging: The inside of the air bag is filled with compressed air, and the stiffness and carrying capacity are controlled by adjusting the air pressure.
• Load absorption: When the vehicle or equipment is subjected to vibration or shock, the air inside the air bag is compressed, absorbing and disperses the external forces applied, thereby reducing vibration transmission.
• Recovery deformation: After the vibration disappears, the pressure of compressed air inside the air bag restores it to its initial shape, thus completing the shock absorption.

Main Role

• Shock and noise reduction: The air bag can effectively absorb vibration from the road or outside, reduce the impact on the body or equipment, while reducing noise and improving ride comfort.
• Improve vehicle stability: By adjusting the air pressure, the stiffness and height of the vehicle suspension can be changed to enhance the stability of the vehicle in cornering, braking or load situations.
• Adapt to load changes: The air envelope automatically adjusts the height and stiffness according to the load, ensuring that the vehicle remains in optimal operating condition. This feature is especially important for vehicles such as heavy trucks or buses.
• Extended service life: Through shock absorption and vibration control, air packs can reduce fatigue wear on other parts of the vehicle or equipment, thereby extending the overall service life.
• Environmental performance: Compared to conventional steel springs, air-cushioned airpacks offer higher performance while weighing less, helping to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
