Materials for Bellows.

Superior High-quality Materials for Bellows

One of the most important things for a quality bellow product is the material. Through our longterm experience and intensive research we can offer the best quality from suppliers around the world. We are working very closely towards both ends with customers and suppliers in order to find the best solutions. All our high-quality.materials are being tested extensively in real life.

Only special materials fit the highest requirements so we can give give you the competitive edge you deserve. When looking for new or special applications for which you cannot use our current materials, we ask that you work with us to find the perfectly suited material. For advanced machining centers and high-speed applications you need ultra-light and durable materials. This is also valid for linear guides.

When our engineers are looking for a suitable material we are mainly focusing on very thin and durable types. This gives us the opportunity to basically use all materials for all kinds of bellows in all designs. A clear sign of poor material is that it is very thick so as to ensure the required protection. Our high temperature materials are perfectly adapted to the new generation of machines (especially laser machines). Starting with various types of aluminized to fiberglass materials and finally to the advanced Preotex-material, we can offer the most complete and diverse range. We cover a temperature range from -40 ^oF to 1100 ^oF, for a short period even up to 1800 ^oF.
