Abstract
The invention relates to a device comprising a suspension system, which suspension system comprises a first part to which a mass is applied, a second part and an air spring arranged between said first part and said second part, at least one additional volume means for air being provided, the volume of which can be connected in a controlled manner, and a control means for connecting the volume of the additional volume means, wherein, via the control means, a pressure accumulator and the additional volume means are in fluid communication with the air spring such that a force/displacement characteristic line of the air spring can itself be modified depending on a deflection displacement and/or rebound displacement and/or speed and/or acceleration of the first part in a presettable manner, by connecting the additional volume and/or the pressure accumulator by means of the control means during the deflection and/or rebound of the first part.
