Bellows are protective elements comprising a moving section and two connection pieces for fastening. They protect axially moving rods and parts of machines against soiling, water spray, dust or the effects of the weather. Depending on their design, they can accommodate movements perpendicular to the axis or a combination of movements (e.g. gear levers). Bellows are able to follow axial movements within their limits Lmin (compressed length) and Lmax (extended length). Special loads (non-axial movements, pressure loads etc.) affect the maximum working stroke and the flexibility.
