Flat bellows

PVCcoated fabricmetal

The flat protective bellows with stainless steel blades are widely used on all types of machine tools: their use is very frequent in machining centres. To protect the bellows, when they are hit by hot chips, it is necessary to shield metal elements, called “laminations”: these work as a shield from hot and incandescent chips. PEI thermo-welded flat bellows are composed of: ■ Bellows (3): fabrics resistant to water, oil, coolants, dust and shavings. ■ PVC supports (4): give rigidity to the entire bellows and are cut to size according to the profile of the customer’s guides. ■ Connection flanges (1 and 2): for simple attachment to the machine. The working position of this application with fixed laminations are: – Horizontal – Vertical – Frontal
