Gortite®

Sewn-Folded Bellows

Sewn-Folded bellows are manufactured from a single sheet of thermoplastic-coated or elastomer-coated fabric which is sewn to a PVC stiffener at every fold. They are available in any flat-sided form and the stiffener profile can be fabricated to match any way or rail geometry.

For heavier coolant applications, we recommend a Heat-Sealed bellows; the Sewn-Folded process is less water resistant due to stitching.

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