Actuator or air suspension element for use under rough, dusty ambient conditions.
Bellows cylinders can be used both as driving and pneumatic spring components. When provided with pressurization and exhaust functions, the bellows cylinders operate as a driving component. As the stroke increases, the force generated is reduced in relation to the contractional force of the bellows. When bellows cylinders are supplied with permanent pressure, they act as a cushioning component. The simple design consists of two metal connecting plates with an attached rubber bellows. There are no sealing components and no moving mechanical parts.
Bellows cylinders are single-acting drives that do not require spring returns, as the reset is achieved by the application of external force.
Features:
- Use as a spring element or for reducing oscillations
- Single- or double-bellows cylinder
- High forces with a short stroke
- Uniform movement: no stick-slip effect
- Use in dusty environments or in water
- Maintenance-free
