Disc bellows
AREAS OF OPERATION
Disc bellows are used when a maximum Lmax/Lmin ratio (approx. 1:20) is required. They serve as spindle and piston rod protection and are absolutely leak-proof and visually appealing in vulcanised design. Disc bellows are suitable for use as single pieces and small series, as no moulding costs are incurred.
EXECUTIONS
Sewn or vulcanised. Sewn disc bellows can be manufactured in almost all materials. Heat-resistant, antistatic or food-safe versions are conceivable, for example.
Vulcanised disc bellows are welded from individual PVC or NBR rounds, depending on the intended use. Supporting or sliding discs can be used to avoid increased wear and sagging in horizontal use.
Manufacturing
Disc bellows are sewn or vulcanised from individual material discs, depending on the material. Wire rings can be inserted as additional stabilisation of the folds.
