Product Description

Custom Extrusion Epdm Rubber Flexible Convoluted Bellows
Rubber Flexible Convoluted Bellows are used as a cover or expansion joint to protect device or machines, which are made by rubber compression molding, rubber injection mold or extrusion tool.
Rubber Flexible Convoluted Bellows are designed as a cover mainly protect against dust, water, oil, grease, acids, bleaches, spatter or other environment elements.

Rubber Flexible Bellows-Design Guide (5 factors considered)

Direction of Travel Required	straight-line motion
	articulating motion
Length of Travel Required	small delta between peak and valley of convolutes
	large delta between peak and valley of convolutes
Interface between Rubber Bellows Ends and Mating Components	An extended straight section with a hose clamp
	A locking grommet securing the bellows into a panel or sheet metal
	An integrated flange with mounting holes
	Completely enclosed bellows ends for protecting parts going up and down
Outside Constraints	Tapered rubber bellows for tapered mechanisms
	Straight rubber bellows (cylindrical rubber bellows) for components with external space constraints.
	Other bellows with different convolutions
Working Environment	Important for materials adoption

Rubber Flexible Convoluted Bellows-Some Typical Applications:
Expansion joints
Rod & Ball screw covers
Piping penetration seals
Fan duct connections
Compressor and engine intake and exhaust manifold connections

Custom Rubber Flexible Convoluted Bellows Requirements:
1. Offer 2D, 3D design drawings or samples, and also tell us your sizes telorance demands.
2. Bellows Materials Demands: Rubber, Silicone, EPDM, Nitrile, etc, or tell us operating environments, functions etc.
3. Durometer Demands (Hardness Shore A): 
4.. Silicone Bellows Surface Demand
5. Working Environmment Demands
6.Silicon Bellows Flashing Demands etc.
(Note: Different Silicone Rubber Bellows durometer demands, surface demands, parting lines demands or rubber flashing demands have different production difficulty and production cost. Epecially for mold-making technology demands, compression mold steel choice, mold maintain when mass production etc.)
