Description

This expansion joint is made up of a single bellows and some metal articulations with their corresponding pivots, which allow angular rotation along a single plane. The plates on the articulations and the pivots must be designed to support the force of the pressure, as well as any other specified load. In cases where axial motion must be absorbed, the holes for the bolts can be channeled, although the resulting design will not resist the force of the pressure.

Characteristics and Properties

  • Angular movements along only one plane.
  • Positive control over the movement of the bellows.
  • Retains the force of the pressure.
  • Does not require fixed anchoring in the system.
  • Protects the bellows from torsional movements.
  • Low forces on the pipe system.
  • Excellent control over the movement of the bellows.
  • Can be designed to support the weight of the pipes.

To absorb large lateral movements along a plane, used in sets of two bellows (doubles).
