Way Cover Bellows

Heat-Sealed Bellows

Heat-Sealed bellows are typically used to protect machine components, in a wide range of environments, where small particles, light abrasives, occasional oil, chips or liquid are present. These bellows are made from a single sheet of thermoplastic-coated fabric which is pleated and then heat-welded to a PVC stiffener at each fold, creating a sealed barrier.  Depending on application requirements, the cover can typically be produced without stitched holes or seams. Heat-Sealed bellows are commonly produced in a variety of shapes to protect machine ways, ball screws, linear rails and more.

For enhanced protection against sparks and chips, a Heat-Sealed bellows can be turned into a Gordillo bellows – accomplished by attaching protective stainless steel shields to the top of each convolution.
