Metal Bellow Actuators for Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems

Bellows are used in actuator assemblies to transfer pressure or temperature into a linear motion. BellowsTech edge welded metal  bellows allow high temperature and pressure capabilities, excellent  media compatibility, and a long stroke length. Edge welded bellows also   provide extreme flexibility in the design to fit size, weight, movement requirements, and allow the movement to be driven by internal or  external forces.  Bellows actuators can be used in valve applications, where pressure is internal or external to the bellows.  Custom flanges, end pieces and hardware can be integrated to produce a complete assembly for maximum axial movement and lateral offset. With sizes less than half an inch in diameter, bellows actuators can reduce the size of traditional actuators in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

 

About BellowsTech

BellowsTech, LLC is a premier manufacturer of metal edge welded bellows and assemblies, encompassing a wide array of alloys and dimensions making them extremely configurable for multiple applications.  In 2007, BellowsTech was acquired by Servometer, the pioneer of electrodeposited miniature metal bellows, bellows, assemblies, contact springs, flexible shaft couplings and rigid electroforms.  With over 50 years of engineering and manufacturing experience between them the two companies are able to serve together the aerospace, defense, medical, test, semiconductor, UHV, solar and oil and gas industries.
