Types
Single Convolution Bellows, also known as protective bellows or bellows, are protective elements primarily used for ball links that perform angular movements. The axial mobility of Single Convolution Bellows is limited, making them ideal for applications requiring only minor movements.
Material
Nitrile and chloroprene-rubber-base,
hardness approximately 50 Shore A.
Area of Use
Single Convolution Bellows are used to protect ball links from contamination and prevent lubricants from leaking. They are essential for extending the lifespan of ball links by shielding them from harmful elements such as dirt, dust, and other contaminants.
Function Area
Media: Mineral oils and lubrication grease
Temperature: -30°C to +100°C
Installation
When installing Single Convolution Bellows, it is important to ensure that the moving bellow part does not come into contact with sharp edges on the ball link or surrounding machine parts. This prevents damage and ensures that the bellows function correctly over time.
Mounting
To correctly attach the bellows to the ball links, the bellows connectors should be equipped with hose clamps. This ensures a secure and tight connection, which is crucial for maintaining the effectiveness of the protection.
Types
Multiple Convolution Bellows, also known as protective bellows or bellows, are protective elements consisting of a crimped, movable bellow part and a connector at each end for attachment. They can have various shapes, such as conical, cylindrical, or arched, providing flexibility for different applications.
Material
Chloroprene rubber (CR)
Nitrile rubber (NRB)
Styrene rubber (SBR)
Natural rubber (NR)
Area of Use
Multiple Convolution Bellows protect axially moving rods and machine elements against contamination, dust, splashes, and weather. In addition to axial movements, Multiple Convolution Bellows also allow for radial movements or a combination of both, making them highly versatile.
Installation
The moving bellow part must not come into contact with sharp edges, and rubbing against movable machine parts must be avoided. Proper installation is crucial to ensure that Multiple Convolution Bellows function optimally and are not damaged during operation.
Mounting
To ensure the optimal function of the protective bellows, careful installation and firm attachment are necessary. In some cases, this can be secured with hose clamps, providing a safe and stable connection.
