Concertina Bellows

Concertina Bellows


Concertina bellows offer protection for many applications, and are designed to prevent the ingress of abrasive dust, dirt and other contaminants in precision machine parts. This can help reduce wear and loss of vital machine accuracy. PAR Group can manufacture concertina bellows in a wide range of fabrics stitched and/or welded to suit your requirements.

Applications

Protection of shafts and machine slideways from swarf, rust, dirt, product and weld splatter.

Key Features

  • Temperature: -150°C up to +600°C (depending on material type).
  • Bespoke manufactured to suit your requirement.
