VB Semi-Air Suspension – Renault Master / Vauxhall Movano 2010> onwards X62 FWD/RWD/DRW

The VB-Semi air-suspension enables the driver to adjust the suspension himself, By varying the pressure in the bellows the driver is therefore able to adjust the ride height himself, Left and right can also be adjusted independently making it possible to compensate a slightly uneven weight distribution and level the vehicle. Optionally a compressor can be supplied. This is the most suitable solution for vehicles that are usually heavily laden and for the driver who desires to be able to vary the ride height himself.

On a vehicle with leaf springs, an air bellow is fitted between chassis and rear axle. This bellow supports the existing leaf spring. The VB-SemiAir is supplied as a dual chamber system. The bellows are not in connection with each other. Making use of a dual chamber system allows left and right to be separated, which enables one to level the vehicle even when it is loaded unevenly. The VB-SemiAir has, therefore, two inflation valves.

With all systems, one can control the ride height, within limits, by varying the pressure in the bellows with the help of the inflation valve. This basic system is the starting-point for the adaptation and improvement of the suspension on your vehicle. The Manometer kit giving the same as above but with two pressure gauges, and the Comfort kit which is the complete system, Gauges, Pressure switches and compressor.

Each system, contains all necessary parts, to allow fitment to the particular make and model. VB-Air Suspension supplies the majority of the kits with a brake regulator as standard. Most existing vehicles need this part for safe and reliable road behavior and optimal braking performance.

Comfort Kit consists of:

• air bellows
• brackets and reaction supports
• various connecting material
• air fittings and connection fittings.
• air tube(s)
• brake regulator (if necessary)
• installation instructions
• control panel with two pressure gauges
• compressor

VB-SemiAir digital control unit

What’s new?
This new innovation controls your auxiliary air suspension system digitally, both visually (on the screen) and technically (with a digital control unit connected to our ‘VB-SACU’, which controls the compressor). Previously, the compressor was controlled directly in a mechanical/pneumatic way with our control panels.

Of course, this digitalisation process has a major visual advantage: it simply looks a lot better on your dashboard. You can also position this digital control unit wherever you want, provided that you follow a number of guidelines.

Another great advantage is the ability to receive notifications and access the history. In addition, you can personalise the entire system exactly the way you like it. This allows you to set your personal preferences for screen brightness, how certain units are shown, and the display time (i.e. how long your screen is on).

Why digital?

A digital system is better for several reasons, including:

• It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a suitable place for our control panels in new vehicles.
• Sacrificing the already limited space to our control panels is becoming less and less desirable.
• The digital system is more visually appealing.
• The digital system is more user-friendly.
• There is no need to have air tubes running through the dashboard anymore.

The future
In the future, we will no longer design mechanical/pneumatic control panels for our kits: the new kits will always include the new digital control unit.
