Abstract: An air valve assembly housing, in particular an air valve assembly, is for an air valve assembly of a commercial vehicle air suspension system. The air valve assembly housing includes an air exhaust chamber and an actuator chamber configured to accommodate a pneumatic actuator. The pneumatic actuator has a valve body that is configured to move between a closed position and an open position. The air valve assembly housing includes a fluid passageway that extends from the actuator chamber to the air exhaust chamber such that the actuator chamber and the air exhaust chamber are in fluid communication at least when the valve body is in the open position. A number of radially extending protrusions partially obstruct the fluid passageway.

Abstract: A Modular and Expandable Air Suspension Control System utilizes three basic units, a suspension control module, one or more pneumatic control modules, and an end cap usable across a variety of applications with different quantities of air springs, including 1-Corner, 2-Corner, 3-Corner, 4-Corner and more than 4-Corner systems. The invention is field expandable, with multiple sensing options as each pneumatic control module has an integrated air spring pressure sensor plus an electrical plug to connect with an electronic height sensor. This capability allows the system to level based on air spring pressure or air spring height depending on the customer use case. The sleek and compact design is piconet-enabled which gives the system connectivity to smartphone apps and dedicated piconet devices for user interface, and allows for over-the-air updating of the firmware inside of the suspension control module and pneumatic control modules to enhance functionality.

Abstract: A pneumatic automotive height adjuster assembly provides at least one bag removably connected to a vehicle having a frame. The at least one bag is configured to adjust a height of the frame. An air supply line has a supply end and a discharge end. The discharge end is in fluid communication with each of the at least one bag. The air supply is configured to provide air to inflate the at least one bag. A switch is in fluid communication with the supply end of the air supply line. The switch has a first discharge, a second discharge, and a switch input. A leveling valve is in fluid communication with the first discharge. The air supply line is in fluid communication with the second discharge. An air supply is in fluid communication with the leveling valve and the switch input.

Abstract: A method for determining the wheel load or axle load of an air-sprung vehicle by measuring the internal pressure of the air spring, wherein the wheel load or axle load is determined using a pressure curve which represents the relationship between a bearing force acting on the air spring and the internal pressure of the air spring, characterized in that starting from a wheel load or axle load determined by pressure measurement, using an original pressure curve of an air spring which has been newly brought into operation, further pressure measurements are carried out using pressure curves which, in comparison with the original pressure curve, show a change reflecting the aging of the air spring.

Abstract: Tandem axle assemblies and associated systems and components are provided for use on heavy duty trucks, trailers, and/or other vehicles. Tandem axle assemblies may include a drive axle and a non-drive lift axle mounted to a non-torque reactive suspension system having hanger brackets positioned between the tandem axles. Roll stability components of the suspension system can be located on the drive axle side of the suspension, reducing weight, cost, and complexity of the tandem axle assembly. The non-drive lift axle can be operated by a control system during vehicle dynamic operation to improve traction performance of the vehicle.
