Ford transit minor cars are pretty in demand in our country. Often the choice is based on a more affordable value of this model, in comparison with the sprinter. At the same time, the lifting capacity and comfort of the presented model is not inferior to the last representative. Ford Transit is presented in different variations. In most cases, the manufacturer's manufacturer provides installation on the rear axle of vehicles of springs or springs. However, given the increased demand for freight services, of course, the owners try to exploit low-tonnage cars in accordance with the maximum possibilities. vehicleSometimes it is significant to exceed them, which affects the rapid wear of the suspension and the deterioration of its qualities. It is for this reason that the pneumatic suspension for Ford transit has become a necessary element with which you can achieve significant lifting records.

The pneumatic system has become quite widely used on commercial vehicles. Moreover, it is possible to install it both in specialized car services and independently. Its advantages are obvious. Pneumatic suspension for Ford Transit avoids such problems as:

quite quick wear of the standard elements set by the plant and increase their life at times;

the appearance of the side roll;

versal breakdown;

suspension trobs.

This is achieved by installing a cylinder, which acts as a buffer and prevents the contact of the vehicle frame with the springs. Pneumatic suspension on Ford Transit allows you to make the movement of a loaded car more comfortable and smoothly in conditions of poor-quality roadbeds, excluding oscillations and punches.

"Ford Transit" - very common in Russia freight car. Many choose it as an alternative to Sprinter. At the cost of "transit" less, and the characteristics of carrying capacity and comfort are at the same level. Exist different modifications Data trucks - from minibuses up to 20 cubic vans and refrigerators. Usually, springs or springs are put on the rear axle "transit". But many owners replace this pendant to pneumatic. What does it give? Consider in our today's article.

Characteristic

Pneumatic is a type of suspension, with which adjustment is possible road Suit. Such a system is widely used on commercial transport. Manufacturers gradually leave the archaic multi-ride springs in favor of Pneummobalon. Now they are equipped with all semi-trailers and heavy trucks. As for small commercial vehicles (up to three tons and below), the pneumatic suspension is less common here. The urgency of the car - the system is much more difficult than screw springs and springs. How the pneumatic suspension is arranged, let's tell below.

About design

This system Consists of several elements:

• Air cylinders. They act on the principle of springs and springs - hold the weight of the car and partially quench the oscillations. What pneumatic cylinders look like on "transit", you can see below. They are made of a thick piece of rubber. Inside filled air under high pressure. Due to its elastic design, the pillow can change the form, thereby adjusting the clearance.

• Compressor. Used to download air to the receiver. The latter has a volume of from 3 to 10 liters. When installing a pneumatic suspension on Ford Transit, it is recommended to use a 10-liter receiver. Usually it is located in the bodies or in the cabin. Note that the budget pneumatic suspension, the "Ford Transit" is installed, may not include these items (receivers). As for the compressor, it is the main component of the system. Without it, the work of the suspension is simply impossible. The unit is operating from the 12 volt network and automatically turns off when a certain pressure is reached.
• Air highways. On them the air moves under pressure from the compressor to the actuators.
• Electronic sensors. Track the position and tilt of the car body in real time. Thus, cylinders can roll up at a certain point, making cars more stable on the road. These sensors interact with the control unit. But such electronics is rarely installed on commercial transport. More often it is a lot of business and premium cars.

What is the relevant revenue?

Choosing a package of pneumatic suspension on Ford Transit, do not save on this item. The device allows you to store air under pressure for a long time. If necessary, raise the car, the air from the receiver is quickly (within 4-5 seconds) replenishes the pneumatic block chamber. The latter becomes more solid, and clearance - increases. In the absence of the receiver, the air injection will be carried out directly in the pillow. But it is very long and harmful to the compressor. With frequent use, he can simply burn.

Benefits

How does Ford Transit behave on the pneumatic suspension? Owners claim that the installation of pillows allows to eliminate the effects of car overload. These are lateral rolls, versator breakdown and suspension breakdowns. As for the last factor, the balloon acts as a buffer, preventing the frame from contacting the frame with an indigenous springs.
What else do they say about the "Ford Transit" on the pneumatic suspension reviews? Also, the car becomes more comfortable. The pillow smoothly extinguishes the oscillations and blows at the road at irregularities. For this reason, the installation of pneumatic suspension is often produced on Ford Transit Minibus.

Nevertheless, the main factor that pushes the owners to install the air suspension in Ford Transit, is an increase in load capacity. And with this task, cylinders, according to reviews, cope "on excellent." The load on regular springs is minimal, and the clearance remains the same.

disadvantages

Why is the pneumatic suspension on the cargo-passenger "Ford Transit" and other modifications not put from the factory? One of the negative factors is low maintainability. In the event of a breakdown of a cylinder (and this is depressurization), it must be changed entirely. The compressor is also difficult to repair. Yes, and the system itself is not cheap. How much will the installation of a pneumatic suspension on "Ford Transit" cost? Price itself budget option It starts from 20 thousand rubles. Full set Can be installed for 100 thousand.

What to choose?

For small commercial vehicles, the air suspension is often chosen on the rear axle.
As for the type, it is better to establish a system with one contour. You can put a two-kinnoye, but it makes no sense - they say reviews.

Installation

How is the installation of a pneumatic suspension on the "Ford Transit" with your own hands? Note that it does not need to fully remake the chassis for installation. Consider the most popular option - the installation of a single-mounted pneumatic suspension on the Ford Transit (the price of the kit is from 15 thousand rubles) on the rear axle. At first, the brackets under the pillows are installed. The top is attached to the frame, the bottom - to the spersion sheet. During the work, it is necessary to do holes for bolted bolt connections. Next here are pneumatic cylinders. The hoses are connected to them. The compressor with the receiver is better installed in the cabin. In the open space, the place is limited, and in the body (if it is a booth) it may be damaged. Connect electromagnetic valves to the unit and display the control panel to the front panel. On this, the installation of the pneumatic suspension in Ford Transit is completed. Tubes should be laid by inner side Rama, attacking them on the clamps.

This method of installing a pneumatic suspension allows you to save regular suspension elements unchanged. When installing the axial set of pneumobalons, welding, drilling or finalization of the standard suspension is required.

Pressure in pneumatic powders is regulated by two control keys and is controlled by a double-rail pressure gauge with a suspension:

In this case, there is no need to get a regular wheeled compressor to change the pressure. You can adjust the car height from the cab.

Pneumatic control system is installed under passenger seat and hidden from prying eyes:

An additional receiver output can be used to swing the wheels or display the pneumatic signal - the most loud reminder of yourself in the overall stream.
