D Series Air Bellows

DescriptionD Series Air Bellows

Series D Shock Absorbers and Actuators (DUNLOP)

TEVEMA offers D Series air bellows in single, double, and triple convolution configurations, matching the equivalents of Dunlop/Springride air bellows. Bead rings and bead plates are removable from the bellows. A key advantage is the ability to manufacture these air bellows with specialized elastomer and steel grades. For specialized applications, although standard metal parts include anti-corrosion protection, bead plates and rings can be made from stainless steel, commonly AISI-304. The rubber compounds we provide (refer to the characteristics of Chloroprene, Butyl, EPDM, Nitrile, etc.) allow the rubber actuator to adapt perfectly to the application’s environment.

Good to know

  • Rubber bellows and bead rings are available separately.
  • Angular capability: Up to 25% angular movement is achievable.
  • To understand the types of end closures used for each bellows reference, the following image illustrates the fixation methods listed in the general D Series table for each model.
