R1 High Temperature Metal Bellows

Pressure balanced metal bellows with a graphite seal to the shaft.

Features and Benefits

  • Bellows rotate with the shaft using centrifugal force to throw dirt and particles away from the bellows convolutions.
  • Designed to handle extreme temperatures.
  • No shaft freting due to static secondary seal design.
  • Effective 360? contact is maintained on sealing faces despite minor shaft movement and runout.
  • Vibration dampening design helps control excessive vibration.
