Hydraulically (Hydro) Formed Bellows – ConFlat (CF) UHV Flanged (Thin Unbraided Wall)

CF Flanged Formed Bellows for HV Systems

At TFM, we manufacture CF flanged formed bellows specifically designed for high-vacuum (HV) systems. These bellows are constructed using flexible hoses made from 300 series stainless steel, paired with durable CF flanges made from 304L stainless steel.

Hydroformed Bellows with CF UHV Flanges (Thin Unbraided Wall)

Our MH-Series bellows, made through a hydraulic (hydro) forming process, offer a range of unique features that enhance their durability and flexibility for various applications:

Key Features:

• Thin 300 Series Stainless Steel Construction: These bellows are made from thin-walled 300 series stainless steel, ensuring they can withstand numerous flexing cycles without compromising their integrity.
• Unbraided Flexible Hoses: Designed to extend up to 10% beyond their standard length and compress up to 15%, these hoses provide excellent flexibility and adaptability in tight spaces.
• Braided Flexible Hoses: For additional protection, braided hoses are equipped with a braided sheath, safeguarding the convoluted hose from potential damage in demanding environments.
• Short Flexible Hoses: Ideal for correcting minor misalignments between components, these shorter hoses provide a simple solution for system adjustments.
• Longer Flexible Hoses: Typically used in roughing lines, longer hoses offer greater reach and flexibility for more extensive system setups.

TFM offers a wide range of flexible, durable CF flanged bellows that can meet the rigorous demands of high-vacuum environments.
