The single wheel control for the Airride air suspension!

With a so-called Single wheel steering for the Airride air suspension each air bellows or air spring is about a separate valve control system controlled. The control system sends commands such as “up” or “down” and in this way controls the supply and discharge of air from the air spring. Such a valve control system consists of either one Solenoid valve combination or an entire valve block together. With a solenoid valve combination there is always one valve for a command, ie one valve for "Up" and one valve for "Down". A valve block integrated mostly the valves for all axles or air springs.

Advantages of a single wheel control:

With a single wheel control, the independent pressure areas in the air springs are a clear advantage. These ensure individual spring rates on the wheels and are not influenced by the opposite air spring, as is the case with axle-based control.

A single wheel steering therefore supports a sportier driving behavior, without additional systems, such as a Anti-roll kit to need. With a single wheel control, the distances between the wheel or tire and the fender can be better adjusted via the individual air spring pressures. This is particularly the case with "Wheels fitment" an important aspect.

Disadvantages of a single wheel steering:

A single wheel control is of course associated with twice the effort for the connected peripherals. This is particularly important with the Pressure monitoring, Emergency filling or the Pressure decrease for signal processing is important, since instead of two axle pressures, there are now 4 bellows pressures. In the case of a single wheel control, there must be 4 pressure sensors on an air bellows in order to be able to transmit the risk of a pressure loss quickly and reliably.

Also a Warning buzzer or an optical one Warning device must receive the information from all 4 bellows pressures. In the event of an emergency filling in the course of a compressor failure, each individual air bellows must be filled externally so that the vehicle can be set in motion again.

Well-known manufacturers and their products:

The best-known manufacturers of compact valve blocks for individual wheel control include AccuAir (VU4 or VX4) and Airlift (autopilot, 3H / 3P). We hope that you have read our information report on the topic / term Single wheel control (further designations / keywords are: Single wheel control, single wheel control, single wheel control) from the Autotuning category. Our goal is to have the largest German-speaking tuning lexicon (Tuning Wikipedia) and to explain tuning technical terms from A to Z easily and understandably. We are therefore expanding this lexicon almost daily and you can see how far we have already come HERE see. And soon the next one will be Tuning scene concept illuminated by us. There's a theme that not can be found in our Wikipedia? Then send us an email at kontakt@tuningblog.eu and gives us the term. We will write a suitable article as soon as possible. PS. By the way, you will be informed about new topics if you have ours Feed subscriber.

Below are a few examples from our tuning lexicon:

But of course tuningblog has countless other articles on the subject of cars & car tuning in stock. Do you want to see them all? Just click HERE and look around. We would also like to provide you with news aside from the tuning. In our category Tips, products, information & Co we pick up contributions from car or accessory manufacturers. And also our category Test sites, laws, offenses, information has almost daily new information for you. Here are a few topics from our tuning wiki:

"Tuningblog.eu" - we keep you up to date on the subject of car tuning and car styling with our tuning magazine and we present you the latest tuned vehicles from all over the world every day. It's best to subscribe to ours Feed and will automatically be informed as soon as there is something new about this post, and of course also to all other contributions.
