Elastic Bellows

High quality single layered elastic bellows – thermally sealed or stitched. Liquid proof, oil resistant and built for long lasting performance on machine tools.

Elastic Bellows

A wide range of materials is available to cater for most applications and conditions of operation. External influences such as hot shavings, heavy volumes of water and special cooling agents are to be taken into account.

All types of elastic bellows are produced in single layered material, either thermally sealed or stitched/sewn. Our thermally sealed elastic bellows are absolutely water and liquid resistant. Through a unique process we create an indestructible connection between the inside PVC-frame and the outside bellow-material. The thermally sealed elastic bellows offer excellent resistance, an absolutely liquid-proof surface, low weight and fast travel speeds.

Another possibility especially for high-temperature applications, is our stitched design. We create an indestructible, very solid connection between the PVC-frame and the bellow material. By using special materials (e.g. Kevlar) for the stitched seams we can guarantee excellent high-temperature durability. Thermically sealed or stitched, two smart ways to create a perfect bellow for almost any application. Combine them with stainless steel or aluminum plates and you will get our famous SAMURAIβ„’ plated bellows.

Metal fixing frames, snap fasteners or velcro tape can be supplied within the dimensions of the bellow or to suit special applications.

On all elastic bellows that are manufactured thermally sealed or stitched/sewn no mechanical strain will leave any mark on the bellow, that means the enduring elasticity of the material ensures recovery to the original shape after deformation.

Standard equipment: PVC-frames

Standard Metal Mounting Frames

Standard: metal mounting frames

Thermically sealed ELASTIC bellows are made of synthetic fabric with polyurethane or PVC coating. They are resistant against oil, water and partly against acids. They are equipped with a PVC-guiding frame in each fold. This ensures a smooth and even movement. A long lasting service life is guaranteed even for high traverse speeds on linear guides.

Stainless Steel Clad Bellows

A.V. Ibrahim Stainless Steel Finned Bellows Cover combines advanced materials and design to offer exceptional performance in demanding environments. This clad Bellows Cover is engineered for high-speed operations, allowing a traverse rate of up to 120 meters per minute. It is specifically designed to handle large volumes of high-temperature chips, making it an ideal choice for environments where traditional metal sheet guards are insufficient. The lamella cover’s superior protection capabilities are achieved through its high-hardness stainless steel construction, which prevents damage from high temperatures while maintaining low noise and extended service life.

A.V. Ibrahim lamella cover is the ultimate solution for industries seeking high-performance machine protection with exceptional durability and adaptability.

Structure of Elastic Bellows Covers
1

Flange

Purpose: The flange serves as the attachment point for the bellows cover. It is fixed to both the protective curtain or the punched stiffener on one side and to the guideway on the other.

Material: Typically made from sheet metal, but other materials, shapes, thicknesses, and mounting methods are available upon request.

2

Stiffener

Purpose: This PVC board provides support for the inside of the protective curtain. It reduces friction between the curtain and the slideway, offering rigidity and impact resistance.

Material: Made from wear-resistant plastic with self-lubrication properties.

Thickness: Available in 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm. Note: Increased thickness may affect the compressed size of the protective curtain.

3

Protective Curtain

Material: Standard material is eco-friendly and offers a long service life.

Color: Available in yellow or white on one side upon request.

Construction: The curtain and stiffener are securely welded together, eliminating sewing lines and holes.

Features: Excellent water and oil resistance.

Thickness: Variable based on environmental temperature, machining conditions, and chemical reactions.

4

Restricted Belt

Purpose: Prevents over-extension of the corrugation, particularly useful for fast moving speeds, vertical movement, or large-scale protective curtains.

Application: Ideal for closed, confined spaces to extend the service life of the protective curtain.
