  Fabric Bellows    
       
  Fabric Bellows are extremely flexible and can be made from a variety of specially woven fabrics impregnated with selected elastomers. We have three basic types of fabric bellows:-

Formed, Stitched and Shaped. In the following profiles:
       
 
       
       
 

There are many applications in industry which require the use of KMK Bellows. Some of these can be listed as follows:

  • Conducting air or other gases

  • Protecting screws and rams

  • Vibration and noise elimination in ducting

  • Accomodating axial and lateral movement
 
       
       
 
 

Formed - This type of bellows is produced using metal forming tools which results in a seamless, gas tight bellows ideal for conducting air or other gases.

Sewn - Where there are requirements for very small inside dimensions or large convolutions then sewing is the ideal manufacturing method.

Shaped - For very large bellows, where forming or sewing are not practicable, these can be shaped by hand using an appropriate wire reinforced material.

       
       
 
       
       
 
 

Each type can incorporate additional design features:

Extension Control Tapes • Pressure Support Rings
Breather Vents • Centralising Discs

Split Bellows can be produced when an application cannot be dismantled, to wrap around and be fixed by means of a zip, Velcro or press studs.

     
     
Metallic Bellows, Moulded Rubber Bellows and Hose Assemblies
     
We offer supplies of a full range of Metallic Bellows (round or rectangular) from simple exhaust and axial units to complex double Gimbals and Hinged applications.


 


       
Moulded Rubber Bellows from metal flanged, tied or untied to full Hand Built Rubber Bellows: and Hose Assemblies with elastomer liners up to 16 bar g or with stainless steel liners and overbraid for higher pressures and chemical resistance.
