Why OnAir over other suspension systems?
Air Suspension
The predominant issue with air suspension systems is the frequent failure of the height sensor, which often results in the vehicle grounding out on the road. OnAir, however, has an exceptional safety management system that ensures the vehicle retains its height even in case of a height sensor malfunction. In such a situation, the system alerts the driver with an error message on the interface.
OnAir’s safety management program ensures that even with a height sensor failure, the vehicle will maintain its height and display an error message on the interface letting the driver know that there has been an error.
A good number of air suspension brands employ a 1/4 or 3/8 inch airline. This causes the vehicle’s height to alter rapidly when adjustments are made, moving the vehicle swiftly up and down. Although this might appear beneficial, it can inadvertently impose unnecessary pressure on the system. Moreover, the larger diameter of these airlines can negatively impact the vehicle’s stability, especially when the vehicle is travelling at higher lateral speeds.
Additionally, OnAir distinguishes itself by using sleeve-style airbags as opposed to the bellow-style airbags used by many other brands. Bellow airbags may be cheaper to manufacture and operate at a higher pressure point, resulting in a bouncier ride which many seasoned air suspension users find undesirable.
Sleeve-type airbags, although more difficult to calibrate and needing high-quality struts to work efficiently due to their lower pressure, offer a smoother ride. Although the production cost of these airbags is higher, the superior ride quality they provide is a key feature that sets OnAir apart from its competitors.
This is why many experienced air suspension customers don’t like the ride quality of those styles of suspension systems.
Why Choose Air Suspension? A Glimpse into the History of Air Suspension.
For enhancing ride quality, air suspension is undeniably the superior choice over coilovers, primarily due to its ability to significantly reduce, if not eliminate, ground vibrations. With air suspension systems, there are several variants, each with a unique bag design that offers different ride responses.
What Makes OnAir Suspension Stand Out Among Competitors?
OnAir’s product superiority comes from our precise design and tuning of our suspension systems for each specific model. The shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) has brought forth new challenges, particularly relating to body weight and throttle response.
Most EVs weigh over two tons, and their highly responsive electric throttle means that driving them can result in sudden body movements, potentially causing nausea or discomfort. Traditional coil spring suspension systems only serve to exacerbate these jerky movements.
Over the years, OnAir has invested substantial time and effort in designing and calibrating the strut to complement different types of airbags, resulting in optimal comfort without sacrificing performance or safety.
Leveraging over a decade of air management experience from MasoAir, OnAir not only offers the best ride quality in the market but also exceptional air management.
Customers often overlook the significance of management aspects until they encounter part failure or reliability issues with traditional air suspension systems. With OnAir, such concerns are things of the past.
Air Suspension Storyline
Air suspension on motor vehicles first appeared in the early 20th century. In 1901, an American inventor named William W. Humphreys patented an air spring for use in vehicles. However, the technology didn’t see widespread adoption until the 1950s, when it was incorporated into the luxury car segment.
General Motors was a pioneering force, introducing air suspension in some of their models, including the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham.
In these early implementations, an air pump driven by the engine inflated the suspension’s airbags to counteract the vehicle’s weight.
The primary advantage of air suspension is its adaptability and smooth ride quality. It provides a more comfortable drive by adjusting the suspension to different road conditions and loads. In addition, it allows for vehicle height adjustment, which can improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency at high speeds.
However, there are also some drawbacks. The complexity and expense of air suspension systems can lead to higher costs both in terms of initial purchase and subsequent maintenance.
OnAir has transformed the air suspension industry through years of rigorous research and development, successfully overcoming the primary issues often linked with conventional air suspension systems.
OnAir’s design stands out for its simplicity, leading to a substantial decrease in both installation time and expenses. It has also managed to eradicate the problems related to compressor failures, delivering a product that excels in reliability.
This inventive design not only reduces the overall cost but also streamlines the maintenance process, making it a market revolutionizer. Furthermore, OnAir has achieved the perfect equilibrium between comfort and performance, improving the driving experience without any trade-offs.
The enhanced reliability and optimized performance represent a noteworthy advancement in the air suspension field, establishing OnAir as a pioneer in a market that has been awaiting such innovation for a long time.
Set-up
OnAir guarantees an effortless installation process with plug-and-play components and OEM mounting points specifically designed for each vehicle model.
Interior Controller Handling
The wire for the interior controller is fragile, so exercise extreme caution when setting up the unit.
System Testing Sounds
When test-driving the installed system, there are two distinct sounds to listen for to verify the correct installation:
Post-Installation Maintenance
Occasionally, following installation, the vehicle’s rear may appear higher than the front. This discrepancy arises due to the varying thickness of the rear control arms provided by different Tesla suppliers.
To rectify this, simply adjust the height sensor link by 3mm, which will subsequently reduce the vehicle’s height by approximately one inch.
