Formed bellowsis longer than welded bellows and various manufacturing methods have been devised.The most widely used is the mechanical roll forming method and bulge forming method by hydraulic pressure.
IRIE KOKEN uses its own original hydroforming method.
Features
- These bellows are manufactured by forming work, so, the thread height can be freely changed.
- There are fewer manufacturing processes, so, mass production can be performed by dedicated machinery, etc., to offer uniform quality.
- Compared with welded bellows, manufacturing costs are low.

Standard formed bellows
Our lineup includes six types of formed bellows with a flange or fittings at both ends.
All can be used under the following pressure, temperature, and specific life conditions to obtain predetermined operating strokes.
The overall length of the bellows offered as standard products can be set as desired within a range that can meet the bellows performance as you request. Please feel free to ask us.

Customized products
Even when standard products do not meet your specifications, we will make considerations on an individual basis.
Please let us know your detailed specifications, when you have specific needs such as:
- A more compact design is desired,
- Allowance for displacements in other directions than the axial direction is desired, or
- Use for pressurization is also desired.
We will make recommendations adopting optimum designs for various applications. Please feel free to consult us.
