Protective Bellows

Bellows are flexible protective covers – also referred to as "accordion bellows" – used as way protectors, cylinder rod boots, scissors lift covers, seals, or air ducts.
Industrial and Commercial Bellows Applications and Examples
• Protect valuable components from abrasives and liquids (Machine way cover and ball screw protection)
• Covering pinch points (medical lift or scissors lift table)
• Concealment of mechanical part for aesthetic purposes (medical equipment, shift or joystick boot)
• Air flow or ducting (traction motor boots, engine exhaustcooling)
• Flexible seal between two joints with relative movement (bus bellows)
• Simple protection against dust and light particles (lab and metrology equipment)
• Light-tight and particle isolation (laser or camera bellows)
