This component maintains consistent vehicle ride height by regulating the pressure within inflatable suspension air springs. It functions as a height control mechanism, automatically adjusting the air pressure in the system to compensate for varying load conditions. For example, when a vehicle is loaded with cargo, the device detects the resulting change in height and increases air pressure to return the vehicle to its designed ride level. Conversely, when the load is reduced, it releases air to prevent the vehicle from riding too high.
Precise control of the suspension system offers multiple advantages. Maintaining consistent ride height ensures optimal handling and stability, improving safety and comfort for vehicle occupants. This also contributes to reduced wear and tear on tires and suspension components by minimizing stress caused by uneven loading. The technology’s development reflects ongoing efforts to enhance vehicle performance and adapt to changing load demands, enhancing transport efficiency.
