Trelleborg’s innovative breathing boots are built using an innovative robotic process that exactly fits a filter inside the boot. The filters are made of welded short pipes where a membrane is fused inside. The filters allow the passage of air from the outside and keep water, dust and debris out. This precision fitting offers maximum protection and longer life for all rack and pinion steering systems (HPS and EPS).

Our breathing boots enable the whole system to breathe, reducing high temperatures in the steering system, and decreasing pressure. This cuts down the risk of deformation and solves any snaking issues, making of our breathing boot the ultimate anti-snaking solution.

• Unique robotic production process enables an exact fit and maximize protection for both ends of the steering system.
• These breathing boots allow air to come in, but keep water and debris out, solving the issue of snaking
• An innovative design process using Finite Element Method ensures quick design of boots that are the perfect fit for a specific rack and pinion steering mechanism.
• Innovative thermoplastic design reduces weight for a more compact fit, better recycling and cheaper, more cost-efficient production.

Dedication to innovation
The Trelleborg Boots Technical Centre creates boots to your exact specification. Using innovative construction techniques such as Finite Element Method combined with different technologies for producing thermoplastic boots, we can create the shape of boots you need at the specifications you want from a local centre near you.
