Generally an active suspension using an actuator has the most superior performance. But it does not fit common automobile because of its high energy consumption. Therefore an active suspension which can work well by the low energy consumption and achieve the highly damping performance should be studied. To decrease the energy consumption, we propose an active air suspension using low pressure supply driving. By controlling the pressure of pneumatic cylinder lower, it will be expected that energy consumption can be decreased. And we propose to control the pressure supply source by using tank. This tank pressure is controlled minimum as far as the force of skyhook theory is satisfied. This system will satisfy both the highly damping performance and the low energy consumption. The performance of the proposed suspension system is discussed through experiments.
