Cylindrical Rubber Bellows

Cylindrical rubber bellows are mostly used to protect components with axial movement such as screw jacks, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder rods and telescopic arms.

Thanks to their high versatility they are also installed to protect polar movements, anthropomorphic systems and robotic arms. They are also suitable for special static applications, such as the passage of cables, pipes, or air.

 

Description

Materials All of our bellows and boots materials are continuously tested, both in the laboratory and out in the field in order to reach long life and minimal degradation during their use over time.
Our bellows are typically made of ozone protected NBR, or EPDM.In the first case they are resistant to oil and grease (even if immersed), but also moderately resistant to weather conditions. EPDM rubber is excellent for outdoor applications since it is resistant to degradation by exposure to the sun’s UV rays, but it is not resistant to prolonged contact with mineral oils and greases.

For special applications, new molding technologies now allow for bellows production in more sophisticated materials such as: VMQ, Silicone, FKM, Viton, CR, Neoprene, and Chloroprene.
Additional Options

  • A hole for air passage, in case of relatively large internal volume changes
  • A filter for air passage hole, for particularly aggressive environments
  • Different modules to make sure the bellows fit perfectly modular bellows
  • Steel rings to add support, in case of internal depression
  • Fixing strips / plastic collars

Availability

Our rubber bellows have 300 different dimensions. However, not all of them are available in stock.

For urgent needs or perfect sizes see our modular bellows which are always available in stock: modular bellows

Rubber bellows are manufactured with ink molding technology, i.e., using existing steel molds. Therefore, the shapes are pre-established and cannot be modified.

If there is no adaptable model available, we will make custom molds according to whatever specifications are supplied to our engineers.

Restrictions and relative solutions

Correct dimensions

The dimensions of the bellow must be chosen accurately in order not to reduce its durability and to have an eye-pleasing result.

The collars are made of elastic rubber as is the bellow. Therefore, the entire diameter must be smaller than the diameter on which they will be installed (fitted). We recommend choosing them 3-10% smaller than the latter diameter.

The length of the bellow must be sufficient when the device is closed and when it is open, taking into consideration the position and length of the collars.

FOR A PROPER SELECTION OF BELLOWS:

Rubber is elastic, so the collars can widen up to 10-15% of their diameter, see the table below.

It is always better to choose a smaller bellows collar, at least 3% less than the diameter on which must be fitted. The drawing shown below is standard, but many of the bellows in the table do not have an exactly similar geometry, always ask for the specific drawing.
Check the correctness of the internal diameter.
Check if there are no encumbrances for the external diameter.
