气弹簧

空气悬挂也并不是近几年才研发的新技术，它们的基本技术方案相似，主要包括内部装有压缩空气的空气弹簧和阻尼可变的减震器两部分。
与传统钢制悬挂想比较，空气悬挂具有很多优势，重要的一点是弹簧的弹性系数也是弹簧的软硬能根据需要自动调节。例如，高速行驶时悬挂可以变硬，以提高车身稳定性，长时间低速行驶时，控制单元会认为正在经过颠簸路面，以悬挂变软来提高减震舒适性。
另外，车轮受到地面冲击产生的加速度也是空气弹簧自动调节时考虑的参数之一。例如高速过弯时，外侧车轮的空气弹簧和减震器会自动变硬，以减小车身的侧倾，在紧急制动时电子模块也会对前轮的弹簧和减震器硬度进行加强以减小车身的惯性前倾。因此，装有空气弹簧的车型比其它汽车拥有更高的操控极限和舒适度。
弹簧的弹性系数是通过橡胶皮腔中空气的流量来调节的。在短波路面或高速过弯时，皮腔中的部分气体会被锁定，在皮腔受压时，空气流量减小，令弹簧变硬，以减小车身起伏和提高车身稳定性。在普通路面上，所有空气都可以自由流动，皮腔受压时，空气流量加大，从而提供柔软的弹簧和大程度的行驶舒适性。空气悬挂还将传统的底盘升降技术融入其中。高速行驶时，车身高度自动降低，从而提高贴地性能确保良好的高速行驶稳定性同时降低风阻和油耗。慢速通过颠簸路面时，底盘自动升高，以提高通过性能。另外，空气悬挂系统还能自动保持车身水平高度，无论空载满载，车身高度都能恒定不变，这样在任何载荷情况下，悬挂系统的弹簧行程都保持一定，从而使减震特性基本不会受到影响。因此即便是满载情况下，车身也很容易控制。

Air suspension is not only in recent years research and development of new technologies, their basic technology similar to the scheme, including the internal with the compressed air to the air spring and shock absorber damping variable two part.
Compared with the traditional steel suspension to compare, air suspension has a lot of advantages, the most important point is that the elasticity coefficient of the spring is spring and can automatically adjust according to need. For example, when high speed travel suspension can become hard, in order to improve the stability of the car, long time runs at a low speed, the control unit that is after a bumpy road, to the suspension to improve soft shock absorbing comfort.
In addition, the wheel has ground impact acceleration is the air spring to automatically adjust the parameters of. For example, the high speed turns, the outer wheel of the air spring and shock absorber will automatically become hard, in order to reduce body roll, in emergency braking electronic module will be on the front of the spring and the shock absorber to reduce the hardness of strengthening body 's inertial forward. Therefore, equipped with air spring model than other car has higher control limit and comfort.
Spring elasticity coefficient is through a rubber cavity air traffic regulation. In short the road or high speed turns, leather cavity portion of the gas will be locked in the skin when pressed, cavity, air flow is reduced, so that the spring become hard, in order to reduce the fluctuation and improve the stability of the car body. On common road, all of the air can flow freely, leather chamber pressure, air flow is increased, thereby providing a soft spring and the greatest degree of comfort. Air suspension is traditional lifting technology into one. When running at a high speed, vehicle body height reduced automatically, thereby improving the surface properties to ensure a good high-speed running stability while reducing wind resistance and oil consumption. Slow through the bumps, chassis automatic elevation, in order to improve performance through. In addition, the air suspension system can automatically keep the body level, regardless of no-load full load, the height of the body is constant, so that at no load conditions, suspension spring trip to maintain a certain, so that the shock absorbing characteristics is basically not affected. Thus even under the condition of full load, the body is also very easy to control.
