Second projections extend inward beyond the inner side surface portion toward a second inner edge with a second shoulder surface portion facing a first end. Second projections are spaced axially from first projections such that a groove is formed inward of the inner side surface portion between first and second shoulder surface portions. End member assemblies including such an end member as well as gas spring and damper assemblies and suspension systems are also included.

An air spring strut for a motor vehicle comprising an air spring with a shock damper for the spring-cushioning and damping of oscillations of a motor vehicle chassis, wherein the air spring comprises an air spring cover and a rolling piston, wherein a rolling bellows of elastomer material is clamped in an airtight manner between the air spring cover and the rolling piston, wherein the air spring cover comprises a damper bearing receptacle in which a damper bearing of the shock damper is arranged, and wherein the air spring cover comprises a clamping base to which a first end of the rolling bellows is attached, wherein at least the damper bearing receptacle of the air spring cover is produced from a plastic material.

An air suspension strut for a motor vehicle comprises an air spring having an air spring cover and a rolling piston. A shock damper is integrated with the air spring and has a damper tube and a piston rod receivable within the damper tube. A rolling bellows is secured between the spring cover and the rolling piston thereby delimiting a variable volume pressure chamber filled with compressed air. The rolling bellows rolls on the rolling piston with a rolling fold being formed. A damper bearing is accommodated in a bearing socket of the air spring cover and connected to the piston rod. The damper bearing comprises a supporting piece, an elastomer body, and a sleeve. A closure element inserted in the bearing socket above the damper bearing. An elastic element arranged between the sleeve and the closure element.

An adapter piece may be employed to connect a damper tube and an air spring piston in a non-positive manner. The adapter piece may comprise a spring region. The adapter piece may also include a first ring region and a second ring region, and the spring region may be positioned between the first ring region and the second ring region. Further, an air spring damper system may utilize the spring region of such an adapter piece to connect a damper tube and an air spring piston in a non-positive connection. The damper tube may include a bulge with a supporting element positioned on the bulge. The adapter piece may lie on the supporting element.

A decoupling bearing for a suspension strut or a pneumatic suspension strut may include a suspension strut cup and a connecting element that can be connected to a vehicle body. A damping element may be arranged between the suspension strut cup and the connecting element. The suspension strut cup may be connected to the connecting element by the damping element. Further, the damping element may be adhesively bonded to the connecting element and the suspension strut cup in a force-transmitting manner, and/or the damping element may be adhesively bonded to the connecting element and an intermediate element in a force-transmitting manner. The intermediate element may be connected to the suspension strut cup.

Mounting assembly dimensioned for securement between a vehicle structure and a gas spring and damper assembly include a first end plate securable to the vehicle structure. A second end plate is attached in substantially fixed relation to the first end plate such that a mounting cavity is disposed therebetween. A connector housing is disposed within the mounting cavity and operatively connectable to the gas spring and damper assembly. A first bearing assembly is disposed between the connector housing and the first end plate and permits rotation of the connector housing relative to the first end plate while transferring forces acting longitudinally therebetween. A second bearing assembly is disposed between the connector housing and the second end plate and permits rotation of the connector housing relative to the second end plate while transferring forces acting longitudinally therebetween. Gas spring and damper assemblies are also included.

End members are supportable along a damper housing and dimensioned for securement to a flexible spring member. The end members include a wall with a first wall portion having an outer surface portion dimensioned to receivingly engage the flexible spring member. A second wall portion includes an inner surface portion dimensioned to receivingly engage a torsional isolator supported on the damper housing. A third wall portion extends radially outward beyond the second wall portion and includes a passage surface at least partially defining a passage extending axially through the third wall portion. The passage is dimensioned to receive a projection of the torsional isolator. End member assemblies including such an end member as well as gas spring and damper assemblies and suspension systems are also included.

An air spring assembly including sliding joint providing a gaiter sliding upward or downward as a vehicle displaces the air spring assembly.
