Fabric Expansion Bellows

Fabric expansion bellows are an extremely flexible and cost-effective solution for low quantity applications.

There are many applications in industry which benefit greatly from the need to use KMK fabric expansion bellows:

• Conducting air and other gases
• Protecting screws and rams
• Vibration and noise elimination in ducting
• Accommodating axial and lateral movement

KMK fabric expansion bellows are manufactured from a choice of specially woven fabrics that have been impregnated with selected elastomers to promote strength and resilience.

We have three basic types of fabric bellows;

• formed
• sewn
• shaped

In three distinct profiles.

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.

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

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