Product Description
A taper bellows isa flexible protective cover with a conical or tapered shape, featuring one end larger than the other, that expands, compresses, and moves to accommodate motion and misalignments while sealing out contaminants like dust, oil, and moisture.Made from durable materials like rubber or fabric, tapered bellows are used in various industries for vibration isolation, sealing, and connecting components with different diameters, protecting internal parts from damage and ensuring system integrity in compact or harsh environments.
-
Tapered (Conical) Shape:
The distinguishing feature is its shape, wider at one end and narrower at the other, allowing for a gradual transition in size and easier integration into cone-shaped mechanisms.
-
Flexibility:
Taper bellows can expand, compress, and undergo angular movement, adapting to changing conditions and providing effective sealing.
-
Protective Function:
They act as protective covers, shielding sensitive components from external elements such as dust, dirt, moisture, oil, chemicals, and other contaminants.
-
Misalignment Correction:
They can correct misalignments between connected parts in a system, ensuring proper function and reducing stress on the joints.
-
Durable Construction:
Made from materials like EPDM rubber, silicone, or PU-coated fabric, they offer high tear resistance, durability, and resistance to weather, UV, and high temperatures.
