Edge Welded Bellows - Unflanged

Edge welded bellows are more suited to applications that require greater flexibility, particularly axial compression and extension. Edge welded bellows are manufactured from a series of formed metal diaphragms welded together. Each diaphragm contributes to the overall extension / compression. More discs means greater extension attainable and also the greater the lateral offset achievable.
