Sewn-Folded Bellows
Sewn-Folded Bellows Covers are manufactured from thermoplastic or elastomer material sewn to a PVC stiffener. The advantages of this cover are that it holds its shape over the range of motion and can be made of a variety of materials that are not limited by the coating needing to be welded to the stiffener. These covers provide excellent protection for linear bearings and other precision equipment, and are also ideal for applications requiring very large or rigid covers.
Note: In addition to Way Covers, A&A can manufacture Sewn-Folded covers in a square or rectangular configuration. Click on "Enclosed Shape Bellows RFQ" to request a quote, and select "Rectangular" as the cover shape.
