Bellows

The bellows protect from external agents and adapt to different materials.

Bellows can be stretched out or easily furled; they mainly protect rods and components of axial-motion machines from dirt, water sprays, dust and weathering agents.

Advantages:
– easy maintenance and reduced wearing: bellows assure tight sealing to the components and, consequently, increase their working life
– good resistance to mineral oils and greases
– excellent resistance to sun rays and weathering agents
– assure protection against accidental contact with machine moving parts

Types:
Steering bellows: they are multi-convolution bellows used for protecting steering linkages, in agricultural machines and in construction machineries.
Sealing bellows: these single-convolution bellows are used with ball joints on steering linkages and in vehicle chassis.
Drive-shaft bellows: they ensure constant lubrication of steering drive-shaft and provide tight sealing against grease and dirt. They are used in the front or rear wheel drive systems of construction machineries, utility vehicles and in carmaking industry applications in general.
Universal grommets: these bellows are provided with a flexible connection system. They are placed in areas where cables must be guided through a room partition, thus protecting the
internal part from dirt, dust, water and harmful substances.
Disk bellows: main feature of these bellows is that they can reach extreme extension length (max L 1:16) starting from their extremely reduced block – shaped dimensions. This feature allows functional sealing of machine parts moving along a straight line with significant displacement strokes

Materials:
According to the final destination of use, bellows can be manufactured in various materials.
