Bellows from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies

The bellows from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies are characterized by their outstanding quality and durability. They are extremely versatile and are primarily used in the automotive industry and general industry. Whether as single or multi-fold bellows - our bellows have been tried and tested in use for decades and are constantly being developed and adapted to the latest challenges and technologies.

Bellows are universally applicable

Our bellows can be used globally and act as protective seals for spherical plain bearings, ball joints and drive shafts. Bellows of outstanding quality protect moving parts against external influences such as dirt and also prevent the loss of lubricants.

The protective elements consist of a movable bellows part and two connection areas for fastening. Bellows can also absorb movements transverse to the axis direction and even a combination of both types of movement, as is necessary for gearbox shift levers, for example.

Another advantage: They can follow axial movements within the limit values Lmin (compressed length) and Lmax (extended length).

Bellows for the automotive industry and general industry

Bellows, for example, reliably protect the ball joints in tie rods of steering systems and chassis from environmental influences. They also prevent lubricants from escaping. Thanks to the reinforced sealing bellows with vulcanized or mounted clamping elements made of metal or plastic on one or both connection areas, there is no corrosion of the integrated L-rings and spring washers.

Another advantage: damage to the folding bellows caused by clip or clamping rings cutting into the bellows is ruled out.

The drive shaft bellows are also used on the front and rear wheel drive of vehicles, construction machinery and commercial vehicles. They ensure reliable permanent lubrication of the joints and at the same time prevent grease from escaping and dirt from entering. The steering bellows is a multi-fold bellows with an adapted geometry that is used to protect steering linkages.
