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

The air bag plays a multi-faceted role. It effectively absorbs vibration from the road or outside, reducing the impact on the body or equipment, as well as noise, thus enhancing ride comfort. By adjusting the air pressure to change the stiffness and height of the vehicle suspension, it improves vehicle stability during cornering, braking, or under load. It automatically adapts to load changes by adjusting its height and stiffness, which is crucial for heavy trucks and buses to maintain optimal operating conditions. Moreover, through shock absorption and vibration control, it reduces fatigue wear on other vehicle or equipment parts, extending the overall service life. Environmentally, compared to conventional steel springs, the air-cushioned airpacks provide better performance with less weight, contributing to reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
