Gortite®
Gortite® Sewn bellows are manufactured from heavy-duty elastomer-coated fabric stitched with nylon or specialty thread. A liquid coating can be added to seams to extend life in severe applications by reducing the thread exposure to the environment or to limit moisture leakage. Available in any size or shape (round, oval, box, way cover, etc.) without tooling charges.
Sewn bellows help keep abrasive grit, impinging chips, and coolant off of machine ways and ball screws. Sewn bellows boots are ideal for protecting hydraulic cylinder rods, shafts and splines. Using a bellows cover is essential for mitigating damage to actuators and motion components, thus maintaining uptime.

Why allow damaging chips and abrasive particles to fall on the ways of your Bridgeport and then wipe them off? Instead, keep them clean from the start while maintaining accuracy and increasing the lifespan of your machine. Bridgeport way protectors are sewn bellows made of durable Neoprene-coated nylon fabric. Dynatect can manufacture replacement bellows cover kits for the classic Bridgeport Series I & II manual mill. If needed, the cover can be upgraded to vulcanized/sealed construction with CSM-coated fabric is an option.
