Abstract
In a combined spring and shock absorber system for a wheel suspension of a vehicle comprising tubular rolling bellows arranged between a wheel-support structure and a vehicle body the bellows includes a space filled with a fluid in communication with a hydraulic accumulator. The bellows space is also in communication with at least one additional hydraulic accumulator via a throttle passage and via at least one pre-set differential pressure-control valve ensuring that threshold values for the internal pressure in the tubular rolling bellows are not exceeded in the event of high spring-extension and/or spring-compression speeds.
