Tube element with one metal bellows

摘要

A tube element especially for exhaust systems and exhaust recirculation systems of combustion engines in vehicles which includes at least one helically or annularly corrugated bellows provided with cylindrical end fittings on each end of the bellows; a flexible hose made of metal and situated on an interior surface of the bellows; and a braiding hose made of metal wire which coaxially encloses an exterior surface of the bellows. The braiding hose being placed on the cylindrical end fittings together with the flexible hose so that the flexible hose and the braiding hose are connected firmly and at least indirectly. The braiding hose is installed in a state of pre-setting so that the braiding hose has a reduced radial cross-section which in frictional contact with the exterior surface of the bellows.
