Abstract:
1. A sealing element for sealing a joint chamber of a constant velocity joint, comprising: an inner collar for providing a sealing connection relative to an inner joint part of the constant velocity joint, wherein the inner collar comprises a seat portion with a cylindrical interface configured to sealingly contact a cylindrical outer face of an inner joint part seat portion with radial pretension, wherein the inner collar further comprises an inner bead which projects radially inwardly and radially outwardly relative to said seat portion, an outer collar for providing a sealing connection relative to an outer joint part of the constant velocity joint, a membrane portion which extends between the inner collar and the outer collar, and wherein the membrane portion between the inner collar and the outer collar is fold-free and substantially conical in shape; and further wherein the inner collar comprises an end portion with an end face configured to be axially supported against a supporting face of the inner joint part, wherein an axial distance between said end face of said inner collar and the inner bead is smaller than an axial distance between said end face and the outer collar such that, in a mounted condition, the end portion of the inner collar is axially closer to the constant velocity joint than the outer collar.
