2. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 1 , wherein the damping device and a height-adjusting device for adjusting a distance between the upper end part and the lower end part in the vertical direction of the vehicle together comprise the electromagnetically acting damping and height-adjusting unit, by means of which a torque acting in the vertical direction of the vehicle can be generated.
3. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 1 , wherein a rotor of the electromagnetically acting damping and height-adjusting unit comprises a rotational-axis element of two rotationally interconnected scissor arm parts of the scissors type frame coupling the two end parts to one another.
4. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 1 , wherein a drive unit of a rotor of the electromagnetically acting damping and height-adjusting unit is arranged on a first scissor arm part of the scissors type frame coupling the two end parts to one another and a stator of the electromagnetically acting damping and height-adjusting unit is arranged on a second scissor arm part of the scissors type frame.
5. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 4 , wherein the stator comprises an electrically controllable electromagnet element or a permanent-magnet element.
6. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 3 , wherein the rotor is mounted relative to a stator such that it can move axially along a rotational axis of the rotational-axis element.
7. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 1 , characterised by an open-loop and/or closed-loop control device for adjusting the electromagnetically acting damping and height-adjusting unit depending on a load acting on the upper end part.
8. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 7 , characterised by the open-loop and/or closed-loop control device comprising an acceleration-measuring sensor which is arranged on the face of the lower end part and is intended for detecting accelerations acting on the lower end part.
9. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 7 , wherein the open-loop and/or closed-loop control device comprises a travel-measuring sensor for detecting a distance and/or a distance variation between the upper and the lower end part.
10. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 1 , wherein the electromagnetically acting damping and height-adjusting unit comprises an eddy current brake.
11. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 1 , wherein the scissors type frame comprises a first pair scissor arm parts and a second pair of scissor arm parts, wherein each pair of scissor arm parts are made up of first and second scissor arm parts which are rotationally interconnected at the pivot point in the center of a longitudinal extension of the scissor arm parts.
12. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 11 , wherein the electromagnetically acting damping and height-adjusting unit is arranged between the first pair of scissor arm parts and the second pair of scissor arm parts.
13. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 1 , wherein the electromagnetically acting damping and height-adjusting unit comprises a pole friction clutch.
14. The vehicle seat or vehicle cab according to claim 1 , wherein the suspension device further comprises a suspension element by means of which the upper end part and the lower end part are resiliently interconnected.
