As we all know, the composition of the suspension is not only springs but also shock absorbers and other parts. The main function of spring is to store kinetic energy.

The real difference between air suspension and ordinary suspension is that the medium supporting the vehicle and saving energy has changed.

In other words, the only difference between air suspension and ordinary suspension is the spring.

The air suspension adopts the “air bag” as the supporting medium of the vehicle, and through the air pressure to support the role of the vehicle.

In addition, to control the air pressure inside the “bag”, air suspension is often equipped with high-pressure air bottles, air compressors and other equipment.  Vulcanized rubber will also be used as the main material to improve the durability of the airbag.

Therefore, we often say that the air suspension is not “real” air suspension, because compared with the ordinary suspension, air suspension is only the medium will be supported by the metal spring replacement for the “air bag”, shock absorber is always there! In other words, the real name of the air suspension should be “air spring”.
