Design of an Airmatic Suspension System

Abstract

This article confirmed that our system of using air-filled bellows can absorb much more shock and deflect much less than the conventional coil spring suspensions. This design will also further help better ride quality and absorption of irregularities on the road surface. Body roll while cornering is greatly reduced. Load carrying capacity can be greatly increased. Multiple ride heights can be obtained depending on terrain.
