Round bellows

PTFE

Bellows are used to protect moving parts of machines against dust and dirt, to absorb vibrations and correct shifts. The durability of a bellow is a very important requirement. The properties of modified PTFE, excellent chemical resistance, long flex life and high temperature resistance makes it a very good material for high demanding bellow applications. Its manufacture requires some specialism, which is undoubtedly in-house at Polyfluor. Polyfluor has more than 40 years of experience making end products like bellows with PTFE. We do this entirely according to your ideas and wishes. After all, every machine is different; customization usually offers a solution with respect to specific situations. Polyfluor guides you through the entire process, from design to end product, so you are perfectly assisted with your question. Types of Bellows Bellows come in various shapes and sizes. There are roughly three types, each of which is suitable for different applications: Chipless Inserted Bellows These bellows are particularly suitable for low-pressure applications (up to approximately 3 bar). Due to their design, these products offer the greatest flexibility. This type also has the shortest installation dimensions and can often be extended to a great length. Machined Round Bellows These bellows are suitable for medium-pressure applications (up to approximately 6 bar). As a result, they are easier to clean, which reduces the risk of contamination in the machinery. For High Pressure and Vacuum Applications Polyfluor also provides bellows for high-pressure and vacuum applications. For example, they are used when a different design is desired within piping systems,
