With 50 years of subassembly know-how combined with necessary leading-edge technologies, we'll get your

job done exactly right - on i spec, on time, every time. And if you wish, we'll value-engineer your application to make your good idea go together better in a high production environment.

Outsourcing this very specialized job to Servometer subassembly specialists benefits you in several ways. Mainly, what loomed as a troublesome variable or bottleneck in your operation becomes a reliable constant you can depend on. You will also reduce your parts count and scrap rate and simplify assembly, scheduling and purchasing. Improve your process control and risk management, too.

What makes bellows subassembly so specialized? The ultra-thin walls make bellows vulnerable to damage, especially heat damage, unless handled expertly. Even the "cool" area of the tiniest soldering flame can overheat a 0.001-inch bellows wall to 1000°F, ruining an expensive part in the blink of an eye. In a brazement, a void no bigger than a dust mote can trigger a leak in an avionics instrument at 50,000 feet. And the tiniest speck of residual flux can eat through the wall of a nickel endoscope component during a diagnostic procedure.

We understand the problems, and have developed the

proprietary solutions.

And given the critical nature of so many medical and aerospace applications for bellows, we certainly understand what's at stake for you.

Servometer has done literally tens-of-thousands of subassembly jobs for demanding bellows customers. In

fact, more than half of our bellows customers have us handle the subassembly as well. Many who once did it themselves now leave the whole job up to us.

Contact us with your design or concept questions; Servometer's experienced design engineers are on staff and waiting to work with you to create an innovative design solution, that meets your requirements at a reasonable price.

With Pro/ENGINEER CAD/CAM software, our design engineers will transform your requirements into accurate parts with re­liable performance. Collaborating with you, they will also suggest improvements to enhance manufacturability and consistency while preserving functionality.

Servometer can manufacture or procure all the necessary sub-components for your assembly requirements, to save you the expense of handling the supply logistics yourself. Servometer will assume single-source responsibility for quality, delivery and price of the finished subassembly.

Servometer does not usually suggest brazing the precision electrodeposited nickel bellows to custom end pieces due to the heat involved and the difficulties protecting the bellows material from overheating. Servometer employs brazing two joint sub-assembly end pieces together with a proprietary induction brazing process using a Lapel induction machine, so that they

can be subsequently soft soldered to a bellow or

an

electroform.
