Mercedes Benz Airmatic Compressor 099320010480

Air pump or Air Compressor pays a key role in Air Suspension system. This compressor pumps the air into a flexible bellows, usually made from textile-reinforced rubber. Unlike hydropneumatic suspension, which offers many similar features, air suspension does not use pressurized liquid, but pressurized air.

The air pressure inflates the bellows, and raises the chassis from the axle. The purpose of air suspension is to provide a smooth, constant ride quality, but in some cases is used for sports suspension. Modern electronically controlled systems in automobiles and light trucks almost always feature self-leveling along with raising and lowering functions.
