Steering bellows

Abstract

A steering bellows (1) has a sleeve (2) delimited by a peripheral lateral wall (3). The sleeve (2) has, in succession in the axial direction, at least one first annular end, referred to as the large base (4), a part (5) which can be deformed in the direction of an elongation or shortening of said bellows (1) and which is formed of a succession of coaxial turns, and a second annular end referred to as the small base (6). The sleeve (2) has a zone (7) of transition between the deformable part (5) and the large base (4) and having, in the transition zone (7), a radial outlet (8) provided in the peripheral lateral wall (3) of the sleeve (2). The radial outlet (8) is closed by a tubular endpiece (9) that is mounted on the radial outlet (8) and that has a first end (10) connected to the radial outlet (8) and an opposite closed end (11). This endpiece (9) extends outside the sleeve (2), this endpiece (9) internally delimiting a cavity (10) housing at least one fluid-tightness sensor (13) of the bellows.
