Electronics for air suspension

What Is a Solenoid/Valve Used in Air Suspension Valve Manifolds?

A solenoid valve consists of an electromagnet and a valve. When current is supplied to the electromagnet, a magnetic field is created that pulls the valve’s plunger or diaphragm, opening or closing the valve’s passage. By regulating the current to the electromagnet, the opening and closing time of the valves can be precisely controlled, which in turn manages the airflow in the system.

In an air suspension system, solenoid valves are used to adjust the amount of air entering or leaving the air springs. By opening or closing the solenoid valves, you can increase or decrease the air pressure in the bellows, which in turn affects the vehicle’s ride height.
