Best Answer

Air springs--allow you to carry more weight in the vehicle without "sagging" or lowering of the rear of the vehicle, allowing you to maintain safe control of the vehicle.

Some luxury vehicles have air ride which compensates for the weight of the rear passengers, so the vehicle rides at the same height when either fully occupied or just the driver is in the car.

What is the purpose of the valve spring?

The purpose of the valve spring is to close the valve when the cam has finished pushing it open to allow fuel/air in or exhaust gases out. The spring is held in place at the top of the valve by a split-collet, like 2 halves of a cone, and also sits against the outside of the cylinder head. The spring is compressed when the cam on the cam shaft pushes it down, and as the cam moves away, the spring forces the valve shut again.


What is the blue knob on an older truck air brake system?

The most common configuration was so that you could release the tractor spring brakes while keeping the trailer spring brakes applied even when you had air supplied to the trailer. Which was a bit pointless, seeing as the Johnson bar was always there for the same purpose. But not all of them served that purpose - there were five different uses for that blue knob.

What is the purpose of an air bag suspension?

Air bag suspension is to add some degree of adaptability to your suspension system. Fixed coil spring systems work great for their intended purpose but have several draw backs when towing or moving large loads. Having air bags allows the owner to adjust the the amount of "spring" in the suspension. lowering the amount of air pressure when carrying a light load allows for a smoother ride, while increasing the amount of pressure drastically increases the amount of weight that can be handled without bottoming out.

What is a spring powered air rifle?

A spring powered system uses a spring that is inside an air tube. The spring is attached to a piston. When the rifle is cocked the spring and piston are drawn back and locked at one end of the air tube. The other end of the air tube has a small hole that is directly behind the pellet and rifle barrel. When the trigger is pulled the spring is released and it pushes the piston down the air tube forcing all the air through the hole, and that fires the pellet down the barrel.
