AIR SUSPENSION


Meaning of AIR SUSPENSION in English

A suspension system using air rather than metal springs to support the car and control ride motions. Air springing results in a smoother ride, because the natural frequency of vibration of an air spring does not vary with loading as it does with metal springs. Air springs can be made very soft for the lightly loaded condition and the pressure automatically increased to match any increase in load, thus maintaining a constant sprint vibration period any load.
