Bellows Single-Layer Metallic

Application

Metal expansion joints are indispensable elements for duct systems, they are used to compensate for changes in length which arise in duct systems from temperature differences. In addition, they are able to absorb vibration arising from pumps, motors, compressors or turbines. Axial, lateral or angular movements can be compensated depending on the specific situation, and we are happy to advise you on the best type of bellows.

The metal expansion joint can be manufactured in a round and a rectangular cross section.
