Air Suspension System Concepts

The video explores the importance of suspension systems in automobiles, detailing components like springs, dampers, and struts. It explains different types of suspension systems, including independent and non-independent systems, and their components. The video concludes with a teaser on automobile transmissions.

What is the primary role of a car's suspension system?

• To improve the car's aerodynamics

• To ensure a smooth and safe drive by absorbing road impacts

• To enhance the car's fuel efficiency

• To increase the car's speed

Which component of the suspension system acts as a reservoir of energy?

• Springs

• Strut

• Knuckle

• Dampers

What is the function of a damper in a suspension system?

• To connect the wheels to the suspension

• To convert kinetic energy into heat

• To reduce body roll

• To store kinetic energy

Which type of suspension system allows each wheel on the same axle to move independently?

• Rigid axle suspension

• Independent suspension

• Air suspension

• Leaf spring suspension

What is a key advantage of independent rear suspension?

• Reduces unsprung weight

• Simplifies construction

• Increases vehicle weight

• Lowers production cost

Which suspension system is known for maintaining constant track and wheel altitude?

• Trailing arm independent suspension

• Solid axle coil spring suspension

• Double Wishbone suspension

• MacPherson strut suspension

In a non-independent suspension system, how are the wheels on the same axle connected?

• With a solid axle

• With a torsion bar

• Independently

• With a flexible joint

What is a significant benefit of air suspension systems over mechanical springs?

• Simpler design

• Lower maintenance cost

• Higher load carrying capacity

• Increased fuel efficiency

What is the purpose of the pressure line in an air suspension system?

• To connect the wheels

• To adjust air pressure

• To store kinetic energy

• To reduce vehicle weight

How does an air spring differ from a mechanical spring?

• It is made of metal

• It uses air pressure for variable spring rate

• It is less durable

• It has a fixed spring rate
