Air Compressor

Air compressors generate and store compressed air utilized by vehicle air suspension systems to maintain ride height and control. These units consist of a compressor pump, electric motor, air reservoir, and pressure control system. Compressors are typically mounted near the air springs and controlled by the vehicle’s ECU. Key technical characteristics include CFM output, maximum pressure, duty cycle, and electrical connection type. Modern units often incorporate thermal overload protection and diagnostic capabilities for system fault identification.
