Air Suspension Systems Basic Training 15 Introduction If we look at the different suspension systems used in motor vehicles today, the most apparent difference between them is that they are either mechanical or air suspension systems. Both types are, of course, incapable of meeting all technical requirements. If they are, however, directly compared, it soon becomes apparent that air suspension offers major benefits compared with mechanical suspension systems. As a result air suspension systems are used to an increasing extent in commercial vehicles. Benefits of Air Suspension Systems 1. By changing the bellows pressure, depending on the load carried on the vehicle, the distance between the road surface and the vehicle’s superstructure addresses the same level. This means that the boarding or loading height, and the headlight settings, remain constant. 2. Spring comfort remains almost unchanged across the whole of the loading range; again this is achieved by c
