An axle suspension for air-suspended utility vehicles and the like with which the vehicle
chassis is supported by a pneumatic spring. The spring is configured as a
plunger piston assembly, is preferably cylindrical, and has a
plunger piston (6) that is provided for supporting and guiding a pneumatic spring
bellows (5). The pneumatic spring
bellows is connected via an upper mounting plate (7) to the vehicle
chassis resting thereupon and is connected, e.g. via a lower base plate to the top of the
plunger piston which is supported, for example, on a
leaf spring assembly (1). The vehicle axle suspension is characterized in that either a downward pointing collar (10) of a predetermined height is provided on the
peripheral edge (20) of the mounting plate, and the pneumatic spring
bellows is placed with the upper end thereof on the lower end of the collar at a corresponding distance from the primary plane of extension of the mounting plate, or the pneumatic spring bellows is fastened to the
peripheral edge of the mounting plate itself and is enclosed underneath the mounting plate by at least one collar of a predetermined height.
