What Are Metal Bellows Expansion Joints?
Metal bellows expansion joints are flexible components designed to absorb thermal expansion, vibrations, and movements in industrial piping systems. Axial metal bellows expansion joints and other metal bellows expansion joints reduce stresses from engines, pumps, and other mechanical devices, enhancing system reliability.
These expansion joints consist of flexible metal bellows with corrugated structures called convolutions that absorb movements. Metal bellows expansion joints are used in various applications, including power plants, pipelines, and heating-cooling systems. Their designs consider factors such as pressure resistance, temperature tolerance, and chemical resistance.
At BundleTec, we offer high-quality solutions with axial metal bellows expansion joints and other types. Our products deliver long-lasting performance even in demanding industrial conditions.

Types of Metal Bellows Expansion Joints
Customized metal expansion joint solutions for every need.
Single Unrestrained Metal Bellows Expansion Joint
Single unrestrained metal bellows expansion joints are ideal for absorbing axial movements and small lateral deflections. They offer an economical solution with simple end connections and do not require pipeline guiding.
Single Tied Metal Bellows Expansion Joint
Single tied metal bellows expansion joints feature a design reinforced with tie rods. They absorb axial and limited lateral movements, offering a balance of durability and performance.
Universal Unrestrained Metal Bellows Expansion Joint
Universal unrestrained metal bellows expansion joints absorb large lateral movements. Designed with two bellows and a central pipe, they support axial and angular movements.
Universal Tied Metal Bellows Expansion Joint
Universal tied metal bellows expansion joints are resistant to internal pressure thrust. Equipped with tie rods, they absorb lateral movements in all planes.
Hinged Metal Bellows Expansion Joint
Hinged metal bellows expansion joints allow angular movement in one plane. They are resistant to pressure thrust and used with appropriate anchoring systems.
Double Hinged Metal Bellows Expansion Joint
Double hinged metal bellows expansion joints absorb lateral and angular movements. The double-hinged system provides a reliable solution for industrial systems.
Gimbal Metal Bellows Expansion Joint
Gimbal metal bellows expansion joints allow angular movement in all planes. The gimbal ring controls internal pressure and shear forces.
Externally Pressurized Metal Bellows Expansion Joint
Externally pressurized metal bellows expansion joints are suitable for high-pressure systems. They absorb large axial movements and are produced with custom designs.
Pressure Balanced Metal Bellows Expansion Joint
Pressure balanced metal bellows expansion joints neutralize thrust forces while absorbing axial and lateral movements, balancing system loads.
