Various potential solutions become available through the use of various materials, sizes and designs. Our dust covers for example can be designed single or double convoluted, rubber-only or reinforced with integrated rings at one or both sealing areas. Boots made of TPE have proven to be a superb solution for sealing constant velocity joints for drivelines as well as for automotive steering systems.
A rubber bellows can be mounted on our gas springs and ensures that the piston rod is protected against impurities and dirt. This protection extends the life of the gas spring. One end of the rubber bellows is attached over the cylinder. The other end is attached to the piston rod just under the thread. The gas spring can still move unhindered and the stroke length is minimally reduced by the distance the rubber is mounted onto the piston rod. The rubber bellows can withstand UV light and oil, and can be used in all types of environment.
