WHO ARE WE?

Welcome to SteelBellows.co.uk – A Division of Flexible Connections Ltd

Welcome to SteelBellows.co.uk, your premier source for high-quality expansion bellows, proudly owned and operated by Flexible Connections Ltd. We specialise in designing, manufacturing, and supplying a comprehensive range of bellows, catering to diverse industrial needs. Our commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction has made us a trusted leader in the field. Our product lineup includes Steel Axial Bellows, Steel Lateral Bellows, Steel Double Tied Bellows, Steel Double Unrestrained Bellows, Gimbal Bellows, and Rubber Expansion Bellows. Each product delivers outstanding performance and durability in even the most demanding environments.

Our Product Range

Steel Axial Bellows

Our Steel Axial Bellows absorb axial movements in pipelines and equipment. These bellows are constructed from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring superior resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, and pressure variations. Steel Axial Bellows are essential in power generation, chemical processing, and oil and gas industries. They are ideal for applications where the primary movement is along the axis of the pipe.

Key Features:

  • High flexibility to accommodate axial movement
  • Excellent resistance to thermal and mechanical stress
  • Durable construction for long-term reliability
  • Customizable designs to meet specific application requirements

Steel Lateral Bellows

Our Steel Lateral Bellows absorb lateral deflections, with movements perpendicular to the pipeline axis. These bellows are crucial in systems with limited axial movement space but require lateral displacement compensation. Crafted for resilience, Steel Lateral Bellows ensure seamless operation and longevity even under harsh conditions.

Key Features:

  • Superior ability to absorb lateral movements
  • Durable construction with high-quality stainless steel
  • Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications
  • Custom configurations available

Steel Double Tied Bellows

Steel Double-Tied Bellows have tie rods to control and limit axial, lateral, and angular movements. This design ensures the bellows can handle complex movement combinations while maintaining structural integrity. Ideal for applications requiring precise control over movement and pressure, our Steel Double-Tied Bellows are perfect for demanding environments.

Key Features:

  • Tie rods for controlled movement
  • High resistance to fatigue and wear
  • Enhanced structural stability
  • Custom-engineered solutions for specific requirements

Steel Double Unrestrained Bellows

Our Steel Double Unrestrained Bellows manage large axial, lateral, and angular movements without needing external restraints. These bellows are ideal for systems experiencing significant thermal expansion and contraction. Engineered for robustness and reliability, our Steel Double Unrestrained Bellows deliver consistent performance in dynamic environments.

Key Features:

  • Ability to absorb large multidirectional movements
  • Constructed from premium stainless steel
  • High durability and long service life
  • Custom designs to fit unique application needs

Gimbal Bellows

Gimbal Bellows absorb angular rotation in any direction, providing flexibility and movement absorption in systems with complex directional changes. These bellows feature a gimbal mechanism allowing multi-axis movement, making them suitable for applications with significant directional variations.

Key Features:

  • Multi-axis movement absorption
  • High-grade stainless steel construction
  • Enhanced flexibility and durability
  • Custom solutions available

Rubber Expansion Bellows

Rubber Expansion Bellows are versatile components that accommodate axial, lateral, and angular movements in piping systems. Made from high-quality elastomers, they provide excellent flexibility, vibration absorption, and noise reduction. Our Rubber Expansion Bellows offer a cost-effective and efficient movement compensation and noise reduction solution.

Key Features:

  • Excellent flexibility and vibration absorption
  • Resistant to various chemicals and temperatures
  • Lightweight and easy to install
  • Available in multiple elastomer materials to suit different applications
