Sewn-folded bellows are manufactured from a single sheet of thermoplastic-coated or elastomer-coated fabric, which is pleated and then sewn to a PVC stiffener at every fold. They are available in any flat-sided form and the stiffener profile can be made to match any way or rail geometry.
Features/Benefits:
Cover shape is maintained throughout range of motion
Excellent protection for linear bearings and other precision equipment
Ideal for applications requiring very large or rigid covers
Diverse material selection – we are able to use thermoset elastomer-coated materials that cannot be welded
Alternative stiffener options available for increased flex life where work-hardening is a concern
