The usage of air suspension bellow

Like conventional mechanical suspension, pneumatic is aimed at providing the smoothest possible vehicle ride without being seriously tied to road conditions, as well as providing optimal ground clearance. In a mechanical suspension, it depends on the state of the springs, but in pneumatic it all depends on the bellow. The bottom line is that when a car with air suspension hits a low obstacle, the bellow is pressed through and, if necessary, the pressure in it changes. The DT Spare Parts brand Bellow, air suspension itself cannot work properly without level sensors, a controller and a compressor.
