Bellows

Round rubber bellow

Round rubber bellow for shaft and screw protection are protective components specifically designed for axial transmission elements. They are primarily used to protect screws, hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, etc., from oil, water, dust, or foreign objects entering the transmission mechanism during reciprocating motion, thus preventing impact on operational accuracy and service life.
These round bellows are also commonly used for fluid level control and protection in electrical discharge machining (EDM) machines, as well as for full-stroke protection of ultra-long-stroke screws. To meet rapid delivery requirements, standardized size charts are provided for quick selection of standard specifications including inner diameter, outer diameter, flange type, and flange configuration; customized designs based on the application environment are also supported. Commonly used materials comply with EU RoHS regulations.
When Should You Use Round Rubber Bellows?
Round rubber bellows are an ideal solution when:
1. The transmission moves in axial linear reciprocating motion
2. Screws or cylinders need protection from oil, water, or dust
3. Long stroke travel requires full-length coverage
4. A balance of sealing, flexibility, and durability is required
5. Fast delivery is needed using standard sizes, or custom sizing is preferred
Compared to fabric or metal covers, rubber bellows offer better sealing, easier installation, and higher flexibility.
