-10. (canceled)
An air spring for a vehicle, comprising:
- a rolling piston,
- an air spring bellows, and
- an outer guide, which has an inner circumferential lateral surface for guiding the air spring bellows,
- wherein the outer guide has a main body, to which at least one guide element is fastened such that nondestructive detachment is possible, the guide element forming the inner circumferential lateral surface for guiding the air spring bellows.
1 more element
A modular system for different design variants of an air spring for a vehicle, comprising:
- a rolling piston;
- an air spring bellows which is the same across design variants;
- and
- an outer guide comprising:
- a main body which is the same across design variants;
- at least one design-variant-specific first guide element, which has a design-variant-specific first inner circumferential lateral surface for guiding the air spring bellows;
- and
- at least one design-variant-specific second guide element which is different from the first guide element and which has a design-variant-specific second inner circumferential lateral surface for guiding the air spring bellows, wherein, to form the design variants, selectively the first guide element or the second guide element can be fastened to the main body such that nondestructive detachment is possible.
