An air spring includes an air spring bellows extending along a longitudinal axis, an outer guide for the air spring bellows that extends at least partially around the air spring bellows and around the longitudinal axis, and a bellows extending at least partially around the air spring. In embodiments, the bellows includes a first bellows section and a second bellows section along the longitudinal axis, which extends at least partially around the outer guide. In embodiments, the bellows has, between the first bellows section and the second bellows section, a support configured for coupling to the outer guide, the support being mounted loosely on the outer guide in a first longitudinal axis direction and being decoupleable from the outer guide in a second longitudinal axis direction. The invention can provide, inter alia, an air spring with an increased lifespan.

A shock absorber includes a cylinder which is a conductor; a rod inserted into the cylinder from one end side of the cylinder, a suspension spring arranged outside the cylinder, a spring receiver which receives a load of the suspension spring on the one end side of the rod, and a protective member arranged on the one end side of the rod and configured to protect the rod. The protective member has a coil configured to detect a relative position between the cylinder and the protective member, and an end portion formed on the one end side of the protective member is arranged so as not to receive a load from the spring receiver.
