How do you choose the right protection solution?

Slides, components, pistons – every part and component of a machine needs to be protected. The protective bellows, made from lightweight materials, fulfill this role perfectly and are ideal for high-speed applications and machines.

The type of bellows you choose depends on the conditions of your operations and your technical, mechanical, thermal and environmental constraints.

Choice of material

Because each industrial sector has its own requirements, SAMECA adapts its bellows to your needs. From shape to material, our products are tailor-made to optimize their performance and resistance to specific application conditions:

PVC
Silicone
Toilés
Sewn
Aluminized

Environment and sustainability

The direct environment can lead to premature obsolescence of your equipment and machinery. Whether liquid, dust, swarf, ambient pressure or humidity, critical mechanical components must be protected while ensuring operator safety.

Tablet & thermo-resistance

The choice of a bellows is determined by its mechanical strength and high-temperature operation (continuous and/or instantaneous contact).

Tablet calculation formula
Tablet = NP x SP*.

*NP = Number of folds
SP = Ply thickness
Note: the lower the compression, the stronger the bellows.
