Positioning gaiters

Fields of application

Positioning gaiters are used if a maximum Lmax/Lmin ratio is required (approx. 1:20). They serve to protect the spindle and piston rod and in a vulcanised design, are absolutely sealed and visually pleasing.  As there are no shaping costs, positioning gaiters are suitable for applications involving a single piece or a small-scale series.

Designs:

Sewn or vulcanised. Sewn positioning gaiters can be manufactured in nearly all materials. For example, heat resistant, anti-static or food-safe designs are all conceivable.

Depending on the intended use, vulcanised positioning gaiters are welded of single PVC or NBR blanks. In order to avoid increased wear and tear as well as sagging when used horizontally, supporting or sliding panels are used.   

Manufacturing

Depending on the material, positioning gaiters are sewn or vulcanised from single material blanks. Wire springs can be inserted, as additional stabilisation for the folds.
