The automotive industry is a term that covers a wide range of companies and organisations involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and selling of motor vehicles, towed vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds.

The automotive industry is a term that covers a wide range of companies and organisations involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and selling of motor vehicles, towed vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds. Metal bellows and hose assemblies are used on the automotive industry for engines to absorb mechanical movements, thermal expansion, vibration and to compensate assembly tolerances. Specially designed bellows and flexible spools may be used for transporting the cooling media, hydraulic oil, engine exhaust gases etc… Depending on the installation position, required components could be supplied pre-shaped (bended etc…) according to customised requirements of the users, this would help to reduce the assembly time and costs. Compact bellows design permits installation under constricted conditions.

Functions of the Bellows & Metal Hoses:

• Compensation of engine movements, vibrations, thermal expansions
• Assuring the tightness of the fluid piping
• Suitability for High Temperature applications and corrosive conditions
• High degree of flexibility, easy assembly
• Reduced thermal radiation and lower pressure drop capability through the inner liner
• High Pressure resistance and mechanical protection by outer braiding
• Design with or without external insulation according to application

Application Areas:

1. Exhaust gas systems
2. Gas manifolds
3. Before and after turbo charger
4. Gas supply lines
5. Exhaust gas return
6. Bypass pipes
7. Fuel lines
