Coated Fabric Bellows

Industrial coated fabric bellows are great for dust protection, laser machines, and guideways that don't see high chip loads.

Coated Fabric Bellows

Maximum Compression and Flexibility

Coated fabric bellows come in a wide range of high-quality plastic fabrics and foils for a wide range of environments. These bellows are great for dust protection, laser machines, and guideways that donʼt see a lot of chip loads, and can be custom made in almost any shape including round bellows.

We select the cover material according to the ambient conditions they will operate in. Decisive factors are the mechanical and thermal strain of the bellows as well as the type of swarf and aggressiveness of the coolants and cutting fluids used.

Commonly used materials
Polyurethane (PUR) Temperature Resistance up to 120° C
Aluminized Aluminum-coated Nomex® - temperature resistance up to 400ºC (only for stitched version)
Nomex® Flame-resistant material, suitable for laser applications
Kevlar® High strength, abrasion resistant, puncture resistant
Polyvinylchloride (PVC) Material does not continue burning if ignited (self-extinguishing)
Teflon® Polytetraflourethylen (PTFE) Anti-adhesive, high-chemical and thermal resilience, dirt and water-repelling, corrosion-proof
