An air spring includes: an outer cylindrical member; an inner cylindrical member; a diaphragm which couples the outer and inner cylindrical members and forms an internal space; a stopper assembly disposed in the internal space; and a pivoting mechanism which causes this stopper assembly to pivot on the inner cylindrical member. The stopper assembly has a stopper portion protruding towards the outer cylindrical member, and the outer cylindrical member has as a set four or more protrusion portions provided at a position to face the stopper portion and protruding toward the inner cylindrical member. Each of the protrusion portions belonging to the set is disposed successively and also different in height. Each of the protrusion portions belonging to the set is arranged without having a protrusion portion belonging to the set smallest in height adjacent to a protrusion portion belonging to the set largest in height.

An air suspension arrangement arranged to be connected between a vehicle axle and a vehicle chassis of a vehicle includes a flexible bellows having an upper portion connectable to the vehicle chassis of the vehicle, and a bumper stop, wherein the air suspension arrangement further includes a polymer member arranged between the bumper stop and the flexible bellows for connecting the bumper stop to the flexible bellows. A method for manufacturing the air suspension arrangement and a vehicle including such an air suspension arrangement are also provided.

An air spring includes an outer cylindrical member, an inner cylindrical member, a diaphragm, the diaphragm providing an internal space between the outer cylindrical member and the inner cylindrical member, a stopper assembly arranged in the internal space as being pivotable over the inner cylindrical member, a handle for pivoting the stopper assembly over the inner cylindrical member, a guide member attached to the handle as rising from the handle, a positioning member attached by insertion in a guide hole in the guide member for positioning of the handle, a positioning hole provided in the inner cylindrical member which can receive the positioning member, and a holding mechanism in the inner cylindrical member. A position of the stopper assembly with respect to the inner cylindrical member is determined by inserting the positioning member in the positioning hole.

An air spring includes an outer cylindrical member, an inner cylindrical member combined with the outer cylindrical member, a diaphragm coupling the outer cylindrical member and the inner cylindrical member to each other, the diaphragm providing an internal space between the outer cylindrical member and the inner cylindrical member, a first element located on a side of the internal space in at least one of the outer cylindrical member and the inner cylindrical member and defining a part of the internal space, a second element adjacent to the first element, the second element defining a part of the internal space, and a cover layer covering a boundary portion between the first element and the second element.

An air spring includes an outer cylindrical member, an inner cylindrical member combined with the outer cylindrical member, a diaphragm coupling the outer cylindrical member and the inner cylindrical member to each other, the diaphragm providing an internal space between the outer cylindrical member and the inner cylindrical member, a stopper assembly arranged in the internal space as being pivotable over the inner cylindrical member, the stopper assembly allowing suppression of movement of the outer cylindrical member toward the inner cylindrical member more than necessary, a pivoting mechanism pivoting the stopper assembly over the inner cylindrical member, and a space portion provided between the stopper assembly and the inner cylindrical member, the space portion allowing lowering in resistance in pivot of the stopper assembly.

An air spring component includes at least two parts, which have corresponding joining areas. The joining areas are connected to one another in an adhesive-bonded manner in an inert atmosphere. The air spring component can be a rolling piston, a supplementary volume container for the rolling piston or an air spring pot.

A gas spring end member is dimensioned for securement along an associated suspension member having an associated planar surface and at least an associated first side surface. The gas spring end member can include a base wall disposed transverse to a longitudinal axis and a bracket wall that extends longitudinally-outwardly from the base wall. The bracket wall can be adapted for operative connection to the associated suspension member such that the gas spring end member can be supported thereon with the base wall disposed in longitudinally spaced-apart relation to the associated planar surface of the associated suspension member. A gas spring assembly including such an end member can be included. A suspension system and a method of installation including such a gas spring assembly can also be included.

Each of an assembly for air spring, an air spring, and a carriage for vehicle includes: a first supporting member; a second supporting member arranged to be spaced away from the first supporting member in a main load direction; and an adjusting member connected to the first supporting member and the second supporting member in a plane crossing the main load direction, the adjusting member having anisotropy in elastic property in the plane crossing the main load direction.

End member assemblies are dimensioned for securement to an end of a flexible spring member for forming gas spring assemblies. An end member assembly can include an end member body and at least one connector fitting. The end member body includes a base section and a cap section that are secured together at a single flowed-material joint. The base section and the cap section together at least partially define a reservoir chamber within the end member body. The at least one connector fitting is at least partially embedded within the end member body. Gas spring assemblies including at least one end member assembly and suspension systems including at least one gas spring assembly are also included.

An air spring according to the present disclosure includes: an inner cylindrical member; an outer cylindrical member provided on the inner cylindrical member; a diaphragm coupled with the outer cylindrical member and the inner cylindrical member; and a stopper provided rotatably with respect to a circumferential direction of the inner cylindrical member. The stopper has a raised portion raised towards the outer cylindrical member and moving on the inner cylindrical member in the circumferential direction. The outer cylindrical member has a plurality of raised portions raised toward the inner cylindrical member. The plurality of raised portions of the outer cylindrical member are different in height. At least one of the outer cylindrical member's raised portion and the stopper's raised portion is restorable against circumferential deformation.
