If your shop is anything like ours, every piece of equipment on the floor needs protection. And we have the answer. Constructed using lightweight materials, bellow covers are designed to protect guide-ways and machine components from external influences in tight places.
Hennig's bellow product range includes simple designs for dust protection to sophisticated designs featuring extension systems, and/or lamellas and special models. Additionally, some bellows are used to protect employees against encroachment and crushing.
Our industrial bellows are made exclusively from high-quality plastic fabrics and foils. We select the cover material and processing according to the ambient conditions in your shop. Decisive factors are the mechanical and thermal strain of the bellows as well as the type of swarf, chips, and aggressiveness of the agents used.
The appropriate bellow type depends on the operating conditions, including the mechanical and thermal load on the bellows, the types of chips, and types of materials present during the operation. Work with one of our specialists to ensure you have the proper bellow for your application.
A destination for manufacturers who simply don't have time for downtime—we're here to help make you successful.
The dynamic properties of modern drives make heavy demands on all bellows. With Hennig, you can adapt every detail of the friction, extension and durability properties of your bellows to your requirements.
The optimum design for bellows is the heat-sealed version. The cover material and PVC guide frames are permanently joined. The connection of the bellows material and the guide frames ensures maximum loading capacity and absolute tightness against liquids such as cooling or grinding agents.
Due to their robust design, these bellows have a long and reliable service life, even under extreme mechanical and dynamic strain. The temperature resistance of these bellows can be increased to approx. 400 °C (752 °F) when using an aluminized fabric.
These bellows consist of up to three foils glued together in sandwich construction. Due to the special gluing of materials, these bellows provide maximum protection, even against liquids.
Bellows are used as machinery protection in a wide variety of industries. Their primary use is to protect guideways and other precision equipment from outside contaminants and occasionally to keep contaminants contained. They often have a secondary purpose as a visual barrier to protect pinch points and other areas where machinery could prove dangerous to a user.
Hennig sells and designs different types of bellows for different applications. These bellows could range from simple heat sealed bellows to run on a rail to a sewn round bellow to protect a ball screw or a bellow with stainless steel shims to protect the bellow from hot chips or molded bellows to protect a piston. Bellows can literally come in all shapes and sizes. These bellows could range from:
You may already know the correct bellow for your application but, if you don’t, then you can talk to our engineers or sales directors who will guide you through materials, types of bellows, and other criteria depending on the conditions or the application.
