Product Definition and Uses

The bellow type rubber cover is a protective component made of oil-resistant rubber fabric with a bellow structure. It is primarily used in traditional machine tools, CNC machine tools, and various metal cutting equipment. Its core function is to effectively block metal chips from splashing and reducing chip accumulation during equipment operation, preventing chips from interfering with equipment movement, ensuring smooth operation, and extending the overall service life of the equipment.

The bellow structure design reduces the probability of metal chips adhering to the surface, making it particularly suitable for applications where chips tend to accumulate and the protection range needs to change with equipment movement. The length, width, and thickness of the rubber cover can all be customized to meet customer equipment requirements.

When is it appropriate to use a bellow type rubber cover?

In practical applications of machine tools and machining equipment, bellow type rubber covers are particularly suitable for the following conditions:

1. Large amounts of iron filings or accumulated chips are easily generated during machining.

2. Iron filings are sprayed in unpredictable directions, requiring flexible protection.

3. The protective structure needs to have tensile and contractile elasticity.

4. The equipment stroke or protection range frequently changes.

5. The need to quickly improve iron filings interference without affecting equipment movement.

Compared to rigid metal protective components, bellow type rubber covers have significant advantages in terms of flexibility and chip accumulation control.

FAQ｜Common Issues with Bellow Type Rubber Cover

Q1: What problem does a bellow type rubber cover primarily solve?

A: Bellow type rubber cover are primarily used to block metal chips from splashing and reducing chip accumulation, preventing metal chips from interfering with equipment movement.

Q2: Are bellow type rubber covers suitable for high-temperature metal chip environments?

A: It is not recommended for high-temperature metal chip environments. Bellow type rubber covers are more suitable for processing conditions where the metal chip temperature is not too high.

Q3: Can bellow type rubber covers be customized in size?

A: Yes, the length, width, and thickness of the rubber cover can be customized according to the equipment size and protection requirements.

Q4: Why does the corrugated structure reduce metal chip adhesion?

A: The bellow structure reduces the planar contact area, making it less likely for metal chips to remain on the surface, reducing the risk of chip accumulation.

Q5: Which equipment is particularly suitable for using bellow type rubber covers?

A: Machine tools and metal cutting equipment where metal chips are easily splashed or accumulated, and the protection range needs to change with equipment movement, are particularly suitable for using bellow type rubber covers.
