External Pressure Bellows
(Type: EP)
Compflex External Bellows (Type: EP) are designed and manufactured in house to offer the end user a bellows that is internally guided, self- limiting and offers large axial movements at significantly lower spring rates at a higher-pressure rating than normal in line bellows. Type EP bellows are direct replacements for Sliding joints and do not require any seals or maintenance.
