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

CF Flanged Formed Bellows for HV Systems

At TFM, we fabricate CF flanged formed bellows, engineered for high vacuum (HV) and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems. These bellows are constructed from 300 series stainless steel flexible hoses, paired with 304L stainless steel CF (ConFlat) flanges, making them ideal for precise and demanding vacuum applications.

MH-Series Bellows

• Material: These bellows are made from thin 300 series stainless steel, allowing them to endure many flexing cycles while maintaining structural integrity, making them durable for continuous use.

Key Features of CF Flanged Flexible Hoses:

• Unbraided Flexible Hoses: These hoses offer a high degree of flexibility, with the ability to extend up to 10% beyond their original length and compress by up to 15%, ensuring versatility for various vacuum setups.
• Braided Flexible Hoses: A braided sheath adds extra protection to the hose, safeguarding the convoluted structure from potential damage, making them suitable for more rugged environments.
• Short Flexible Hoses: Ideal for correcting minor component misalignments, these shorter hoses ensure a reliable connection, even in tight spaces.
• Longer Flexible Hoses: These are typically used as roughing lines, offering greater flexibility and reach in more extensive vacuum applications.

TFM’s CF flanged bellows provide a robust and versatile solution for both HV and UHV systems, making them a perfect fit for a wide range of industrial vacuum applications. Whether you need flexibility for small adjustments or durability for larger setups, these bellows deliver reliable performance.
