Abstract: Bellows, for example, a roll bellows and a folding bellows, can be produced that can be used at higher temperatures such as those prevailing in modern articulated constructions, using a mixture comprising at least one thermoplastic elastomer selected from the group of copolysters with a hard segment and a soft segment, wherein in a first step the at least one thermoplastic elastomer is mixed with approximately 0.8 wt. % to approximately 5 wt. % triallyl isocyanurate, based on the total amount of the mixture; in a second step the bellows is produced; and in a third step, the bellows is exposed to an ionizing irradiation in a range from approximately 140 kGy to approximately 350 kGy.

Abstract: A boot is provided with an improved sealing effect. The boot has a first and a second fastening region, and a pleated region between them, wherein the first fastening region comprises lobe regions and/or guide regions, and connecting regions and a connector seat region that has a connector seat region surface and an undersurface lying opposite it, wherein there is at least one inner groove in the lobe regions and/or in the guide regions, on the undersurface.

Abstract: A rolling boot comprises a first fastening region for fastening the boot to a joint casing, a second fastening region for fastening the boot to a shaft, and a fold region between the first and the second fastening region with a first fold near to the first fastening region and a second fold near to the second fastening region. The boot further comprises, between the first fastening region and the first fold, a first transition region comprising a first flange neighboring the first fastening region with a bottom. A ratio between a first minimal diameter D1, defined by the bottom of the first flange of the first transition region, and a second maximal diameter D2, defined by the first fold, where both are viewed in a longitudinal section direction along the main axis, is between approximately 1:1.01 to approximately 1:1.25.

Abstract: A boot for joints, such as constant velocity joints, has a first attachment region and a fold region with a plurality of folds with peaks and roots and a transition area adjacent to the last fold arranged near said first attachment region. The transition area includes a connecting root between said last fold in the transition part, wherein at least part of said transition part is inclined towards said first attachment region, and wherein said transition part, in a cross-sectional view in a direction of a main axis of the boot, has a convex or an essentially planar shape.
