Description
Flexible rubber bellows protect moving machine parts from dust, dirt and the like. The bellows minimize the risk of downtime and extend the lifetime of the machine. In addition, the bellows improve the working environment and safety by protecting machine operators and others from injury from contact with moving machine parts.
For many constructions, it can be advantageous to use a bellows type that takes up minimal space when compressed. Rubber disc bellows are made from vulcanized rubber discs and take up very little space when folded in relation to the pull-out length that can be achieved: the difference between the maximum length (Lmax) and minimum length (Lmin) is large.
Rubber washer bellows are made from chlorosulfonyl polyethylene (CSM), which has a hardness of 65 Shore A. The color is black and the application temperature is between -20 °C and +110 °C. The material is fairly resistant to oil and chemicals and highly weather resistant.
