AX Type
expansion joints

Features

  • Untied custom metal expansion joints for general pressure applications.
  • Designed to cover the mid temperature and pressure range for general process equipment.
  • Mainly intended for axial movements.
  • Multiply bellows with low spring rate and high cycle life.

Advantages

  • Covers many applications (ranging from water treatment through steam lines to fluid / gas media transport lines).
  • Highly customizable design: Bellows geometry, material options and combinations.
