Invisible protection for safe production

In many industrial plants, protecting components such as spindles and guides is critical. PVC dust boots prevent the entry of dust, chips, oil, and coolant. They also enhance safety by reducing the risk of entrapment.

Why choose PVC dust boots?

  • Flexibility and durability: The PVC material offers good resistance to corrosion and wear.

  • Complete adaptability: They are available in circular, conical, or square shapes, with various mounting flange configurations.

  • Comprehensive protection: They create a barrier against oil, coolant, and metal particles, extending the lifespan of your machines.

Criteria for selecting the right bellows

To make the right choice, consider the following:

  1. Type of external exposure: Determine if the environment contains oils, cutting fluids, fine particles, or dust. This will influence the thickness and surface finish of the PVC material.

  2. Internal dimensions: Accurately measure the diameter or perimeter of the part to be protected, as well as the maximum and minimum travel distance.

  3. Shape of the mounting flanges: These can be round, square, or custom-designed; specifying the shape ensures a tight seal.

  4. Operating length: Determine the maximum extended length and the minimum compressed length to prevent excessive stress and premature wear.
