What applications and operating environments are suitable for each series of protective bellows?
1. GC Series (GC / WGC / KGC / DGC)
Recommended Applications:
Suitable for protection against dust, oil, water, and abrasive fine particles such as metal powder, quartz, and silicon carbide.
Characteristics:
- Excellent chemical resistance
- High wear resistance
- Low inertia
- Fully enclosed protection
This series requires the use of two support or guide rails for operation.
2. FGC Series (FGC / FGCT / FGCL)
Recommended Applications:
Suitable for protection against dust, oil, water, and metal chips.
Characteristics:
- Chemical corrosion resistance
- High wear resistance
- Puncture resistance against metal chips
This series requires the use of two support or guide rails for operation.
3. MF Series
Recommended Applications:
A fully integrated version of the FGC Series, suitable for protection against dust, oil, water, and metal chips.
Characteristics:
- Excellent chemical resistance
- High wear resistance
- Puncture-resistant construction
- Equipped with an integrated frame structure
- Individual replacement of the four cover sections is possible
- Designed for quick on-site assembly and installation upon delivery
This design helps reduce installation time and simplifies future maintenance.
4. RE Series (RE / RC)
Recommended Applications:
Suitable for oil- and water-resistant applications with limited installation space.
Characteristics:
- Not restricted by guide rail configurations
- Chemical corrosion resistance
- Wear resistance
Due to its spring-driven structure, this series requires relatively higher driving force, and its sealing performance and service life are comparatively lower.
5. ARE Series
Recommended Applications:
Suitable for protection against oil, water, and metal chips in applications with limited installation space.
Characteristics:
- Chemical corrosion resistance
- High wear resistance
- Resistance to metal chip puncture
Because of its heavy-duty spring structure, higher driving force is required. Service life and sealing performance are relatively lower. Best performance is achieved when used together with guide rails.
6. LAC Series
Recommended Applications:
Suitable for protection against oil, water, and metal chips in environments with limited installation space.
Characteristics:
- Simple structure
- Chemical corrosion resistance
- High wear resistance
- Resistance to metal chip puncture
This series is designed for flat-surface applications only and requires two support rails. Sealing performance is relatively limited.
7. RF Series
Recommended Applications:
Suitable for protection against oil, water, and metal chips, especially in large-span and long-stroke applications.
Characteristics:
- Chemical corrosion resistance
- High wear resistance
- Resistance to metal chip puncture
This series is designed for flat-surface applications only and requires two support rails for operation.
