    Patent number: 6685173
    Abstract: An air spring strut (4) is arranged between a vehicle axle (8) and a vehicle body (6) of a motor vehicle. The air spring strut (4) includes a shock absorber (10) and an air spring (16). The shock absorber (10) includes a cylinder (12) and a piston displaceable into the cylinder (12). The foot point (14) of the cylinder (12) can be articulately connected to a wheel-guiding component (8) and the upper end of the piston can be pivotally connected to the vehicle body (6) of a motor vehicle. The air spring (16) includes a resilient member (18) which is clamped between a cover (20) and a roll-off piston (22) while forming a rolling lobe. The cover (20) can be attached to the vehicle body (6) of a motor vehicle and the roll-off piston (22) is supported on the cylinder (12) of the shock absorber (10). The resilient member (18) of the air spring (16) is enclosed by a bell (28).
