Air Bellow

Our Air Bellows are designed for customer applications where conventional pneumatic actuators are either too bulky or not powerful enough, or where the environmental conditions make maintenance highly demanding. The primary market sector is industrial and includes the paper, food, textile and building industries among others.

In the automotive sector bellows are supplied as part of ‘auxiliary air suspension’ or ‘air assist’ kits for motorhomes. For this application, the bellow works alongside the existing steel suspension to provide for improved stability and comfort, reduced body roll and leveling capability among other benefits.

An air bellow is a single-acting pneumatic actuator made of reinforced Elastoplast material. Each end is attached to a metallic cover containing mounting holes and air inlet ports. There are three basic variants: single, double and triple convolution/lobe.

The air bellows that we offer are extremely effective vibration isolators, suitable for many types of equipment. With careful selection of the correct natural frequency, they can significantly reduce transmitted vibration arising from most industrial and commercial applications.
