Abstract:
The invention relates to an air spring (1) for a vehicle, comprising an air-spring module (2) having an air-spring module connection element (3) as connecting part with the load to be suspended, and air-spring module bellows (4), wherein the air-spring module bellows (4) are connected, on the side facing the air-spring module connection element (3), to the air-spring module connection element (3) at least in an airtight manner, a rolling piston (8), wherein the air-spring module (2) has at least one connecting element (5) for at least airtight connection of the air-spring module (2) to the rolling piston (8), wherein the air-spring module bellows (4) are arranged in an airtight connecting manner between the air-spring module connection element (3) and the connecting element (5), wherein the connecting element (5) is arranged directly adjacent to the rolling piston (8) at least in certain sections and the connecting element (5) is placed onto the rolling piston (8), and wherein one or more guide rib(s) (7) is/are arranged on the connecting element (5), which form an effective connection to the air-spring-module-side rolling piston end and stabilize the air-spring module (2) in the transverse direction to the longitudinal axis (L) of the rolling piston (8).
