Servometer Miniature Metal Bellows… …for metallic hermetic seals, volume compensators, pressure and temperature sensors, flexible connectors, and countless other applications where quality, dependability, reliability and long life are critical requirements. There are five major types of metal bellows: • Rolled • Hydroformed • Welded • Chemically deposited • Electrodeposited (Electroplated, Electroformed) Electrodeposited bellows are manufactured by forming a mandrel to the shape of the inside of the bellows, depositing the proper thickness of spring quality metal on to the mandrel, trimming the plated mandrel to define the ends, and finally dissolving away the mandrel. This leaves behind a thin convoluted tubular shell of plated metal, which is the bellows. Servometer is the foremost manufacturer of electrodeposited nickel bellows. Bellows made of copper, silver and gold are also available. | |
