Rubber Bellow (Expansion Joints) are used in a wide range of industries including Water, Air, Pumping and more. From a 32mm Rubber bellow to a 600mm Rubber Bellow – AAP has a complete range to look after your requirements and different applications.

Why use a Rubber Bellow Expansion Joint
Rubber Bellows (flexible rubber expansion joints) are installed in piping and pumping systems to absorb movements in 3 directions:

1. Axial – The movement of elongation and compression along the center line.
2. Lateral – offset movement from the center line.
3. Angular – offset bending about the center line.

Why Bellows are used
In most cases, metal expansion bellows helps absorb vibration and absorb movement when transferring high temperature products such as exhaust fumes, electricity, etc. In addition bellows are useful for other purposes, including regulation and earthquake movement.
