We also have the capability to measure components using our Coordinate Measuring Machine, whether this be to reverse engineer parts or to provide PPAP Level 3 Documentation.

Functionality

Rubber bellows are predominantly used for the removal of vibration and thermal variations between two sets of mating pipework. Our bespoke rubber moulding service offers customers a choice from over 350 different rubbers and silicones including high temperature resistant and oil resistant rubbers.

Design Consideration

Bellow Wall thickness
The angle of the convolute on the bellow
The deep of the bellows convolute.
Removing as many ‘sharp edges’ from the design as possible to avoid tearing the bellow during moulding.
Remove bellow undercuts to avoid expensive tool designs.
