Laminated Bellows

Laminated Bellows are produced to meet the requirements of the machine tool industry (and many other industries), and offer protection against machine swarf, dust and cutting fluids.  Laminated bellows are designed for use on horizontal, vertical and cross slide ways as well as horizontal and vertical feed shafts

They are very popular in the measuring and medical industry and for spindles, columns and shafts. The Laminated Bellows are an inexpensive solution, their main advantage is the great variety in shapes, designs and colors. Folded construction, manufactured from a tough synthetic fabric and nylon laminate.   Central support frames with nylon gliders or roller guides. Reinforcement by means of wire straps or plastic strips can be provided at the inside edges of the laminated Bellows where necessary. Extension stops are incorporated into the design depending on the application and requirements. These require a clear space of 20-30 mm (0.79 - 1.18 Inch) between the guideway and the inner faces of the bellow.
