Disclosed is a pneumatic spring shock absorber unit having working chambers (2, 3), which are filled with compressed air and which are partially delimited by rolling or folding bellows (7, 8, 9). These working chambers are situated one above the other and are interconnected via throttle valves that can be flowed through. Both working chambers are located inside a common pot-shaped housing (4) and are separated by a piston (6) so that one working chamber (2) is located on the front side of the piston and the other working chamber (3) is located on the rear side of the piston and at least partially surrounds the piston rod (5) so that the piston and the piston rod are sealed and guided inside the housing by rolling bellows (7, 8, 9).
A pneumatic spring and damper unit, which is arranged between a vehicle body and a chassis and has at least two working spaces filled with compressed air, each working space being at least partially bounded by a rolling bellows, each rolling bellows rolling at least partially on the contours of a rotationally symmetrical body the working spaces being arranged one on top of the other and being connected to one another by means of throttle valves through which there can be a flow of air, the pneumatic spring and damper unit having a main load direction in which the pneumatic spring and damper unit is compressed, the volume of one working space is reduced, and the volume of the other working space is increased or remains unchanged,
