Each part of a machine must be protected (slideways, components, pistons, …). Protective bellows made of lightweight materials perfectly fulfill this role. They are also suitable for high-speed applications and machines. The type of bellows must be carefully selected according to the conditions it will be used in (including technical, mechanical, thermal and environmental constraints).

 

Find the right solution for your needs

Choice of material

Each industrial sector has its own needs. That's why we adapt our bellows to your needs.
From the shape to the material, our bellows are custom-made in order to optimize their
performance and resistance according to their use.

  • PVC
  • Silicone
  • Fiber
  • Sewn
  • Alu

Environment and sustainability

The direct environment can lead to a premature obsolescence of your equipment and machinary. Because of liquids, dust, chips, surrounding pressure or humidity, the main mechanical components of a machine must be protected while ensuring the operators' safety.

Because a protective bellows is constantly working, each one of our bellows is designed to resist abrasion, tears, rebounds, breakage, traction and is treated to last for as long as possible.

Compressed length & thermo-resistance

A particular bellows is chosen by its mechanical resistance and its operation at high temperature (continuously and/or in instantaneous contact).

Calculation formula of the compressed length
compressed length = number of convolutions x convolution thickness

Note : the smaller the compressed length, the stronger the bellows.
