Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn everything there is to know about how to install a versatile and capable air ride system. Air suspension used to be expensive, difficult to install, and complex to understand. However, that was years ago. Today, thanks to kits made for virtually every make and model of car and truck, plus the popularization of automatic levelling kits, it’s easier than ever to take a vehicle and put it on the ground. With properly installed air ride suspension, you can set the height wherever you like, lay your ride on the asphalt when you want, and even tear through the corners like you’re driving a slot car. However, here’s the most important part: it’s just cool. Having an airbagged vehicle isn’t restricted to one vehicle class or another. While it originally became popular with mini trucks, it soon caught on with street rods, cars, and motorcycles, and even traditional lowriders have embraced the scene. That’s because where previous adjustable suspensions had their problems, air ride setups are quite often cleaner and easier to maintain. It all depends on how it’s installed and how you manage it. In How to Install Air Ride Suspension Systems, air ride veteran Kevin Whipps walks you through everything you need to know about installing an air suspension onto pretty much anything. After going through the basics of each component, he explains how they all work in harmony in easy-to-understand terms that make it simple for even the mechanically challenged to grasp. By the end of it all, you’ll know more about air suspension than you thought was possible and have a clear understanding of what you need to do to bag your ride.
Download or read book Riding on Air written by Jack Gieck and published by SAE International. This book was released on 1999-10-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riding on Air covers the history of air suspension, from the earliest patents in the mid-19th century to more current developments. Beginning on buses, air suspension expanded into passenger rail vehicles, only to be followed by a crashing failure on passenger cars. But after several precarious years, air suspension began to win almost universal acceptance on trucks and trailers, and then in mass transportation, eventually making a successful return to passenger cars.

Download or read book Interconnected Air Suspensions with Independent Height and Stiffness Tuning written by Peyman Karimi Eskandary and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suspensions play a crucial role in vehicle comfort and stability. Different types of suspensions have been proposed to fulfill the essential characteristics of vehicle suspensions. A semi-active suspension with adjustable damper improves the performance of a suspension in different conditions and it is better than a passive suspension in terms of ride comfort and handling. Furthermore, it is not as expensive and complicated as an active suspension. Semi-active suspensions rely on adjustable damping coefficient. A new type of air suspension with independent ride height and stiffness tuning has been developed recently. By using two air chambers in the suspension system, ride height of vehicle and stiffness of suspension can be adjusted independently and simultaneously. The conventional air suspension systems use compressor to pump the air into a single flexible rubber airbag and by inflating the air, the chassis will be raised from the axle (ride height control). In this type of suspensions, the stiffness of spring is not under control. In the new air suspension system, by controlling the air pressure on both chambers, one can tune the suspension stiffness and the ride height of the vehicle at the same time for different driving conditions. The air suspension is also able to maintain the vehicle body at the same height and natural frequency for different load or number of passengers. This thesis discusses about the design analysis of an air suspension with ride height and stiffness tuning. The analytical formulation is developed for the optimum design of the new air suspension system. In this thesis, the interconnection between the pressurized chambers of the new air suspension with ride height and stiffness tuning is studied to further improve the performance. Proper interconnection of air springs can help the suspension system to distribute the load between tires more evenly on rough roads or uneven surfaces. Different configurations in air spring interconnection have different impact on the handling and tire load distribution. To study the effect of air spring interconnection configurations on tires load distribution and vehicle handling, a general mathematical model is developed. This model is used to compare various configurations in detail. Results show that interconnection could improve tire load distributions greatly. It is also shown that improving tire load distribution will deteriorate roll stiffness that in turn deteriorate vehicle handling at higher speeds. Since on rough roads, vehicle's speed is necessarily low, interconnection will not have adverse effects on vehicle handling when activated.

Download or read book Hydropneumatic Suspension Systems written by Wolfgang Bauer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydropneumatic suspension systems combine the excellent properties of gas springs with the favourable damping properties of hydraulic fluids. The advantages of these systems are particularly appropriate for mobile applications, such as agricultural and construction equipment as well as passenger cars, trucks and busses. Based on his 20 years of experience with this technology, Dr. Bauer provides in this book an extensive overview of hydropneumatic suspension systems. Starting with a comparison of different types of suspension systems, the author subsequently describes the theoretical background associated with spring and damping characteristics of hydropneumatic systems. Furthermore, he explains the design of the most important system components and gives an overview of level control systems, various special functions, patents and design examples. Finally, an outlook for future hydropneumatic suspension systems is discussed. Compared to the first edition, this new edition puts an additional focus on damping functions as well as applications / projects and contains various additional details such as proportional valves, all-wheel suspension or dediated power supply. Furthermore, suspension testing has been added as a new chapter.
