Abstract

See full text

In order to achieve the object of making available a folding bellows arrangement by means of which the acting clamping forces can be transmitted as uniformly as possible to the joint outer part of a tripod joint unit, it is proposed that such a folding bellows arrangement comprises a folding bellows (12) with a first collar region (20) for attachment to a shaft, and a second rotationally symmetrical collar region for attachment to a joint outer part (18) and a bellows region (16) which is arranged between the first and second collar regions, and an adapter ring (14) with an inner face which is adapted in a cross section to the outer contours of the joint outer part, the folding bellows being formed from an elastic material and the adapter ring being manufactured from at least one first plastic material (56) which has an approximately identical or higher Shore hardness than the material of the folding bellows.
