We design and manufacture a wide range of Universal Bellows with Pipe or Flanges. The universal expansion joint is often referred to as double expansion joint-containing two bellows attached by a common connector to absorb any combination of the three basic movements: Axial, Lateral and Angular.
This joint is provided with control rods for allocating the movement between the two bellows of the expansion joint and to make the common connector stable.
The movement of centre pipe section is managed by the overall control rods along with uniformly dividing motion between the bellows elements. This arrangement is mainly used for lateral deflection although can also accommodate axial movement. Besides, this type of expansion joint also make use of overall tie rods to fix the overall length of the expansion joint and have full pressure thrust (only lateral deflection is accommodated).
