ORIGINATOR OF THE ROLLING DIAPHRAGM The Bellofram Rolling Diaphragm > ✣ () is a tough, flexible seal with a unique configuration that permitsrelatively long piston strokes while completely eliminating sliding friction.Formed in the shape of a truncated cone, or top hat, the diaphragm is turned in on itself when installed so that,during the stroke, it rolls and unrolls alternately on piston skirt and cylinder wall. The rolling action is smooth and effortless, completely eliminating sliding contact and breakaway friction. With the outer flange clamped to the cylinder and the center fastened to...

ORIGINATOR OF THE ROLLING DIAPHRAGM Bellofram Rolling Diaphragms are, in effect, pressure vessels having a variable volume and flexible moving side-walls. As in any other pressure vessel, their strength should be considered with respect to safety factors. Generally, they are designed with a large safety factor. This means the maximum safe working pressure will be a fraction of the pressure that could cause failure of the sidewall.The accompanying illustration, Fig. 3, illustrates the pressure reaction of the . Here it can be seen thatalmost the entire pressure load is supported by the piston...

ORIGINATOR OF THE ROLLING DIAPHRAGM Involuted Diaphragms may be made depending on design parameters. D > ESCRIPTION The patented* Bellofram Involuted Diaphragm (IVD) > TM represents a new concept in rolling diaphragm design.Developed initially to satisfy the needs of the automotive industry for low-cost hardware, small package size and lower assembly cost, the design offers significant advantages over convoluted diaphragms in many applications.Involuted diaphragms differ in both configuration and operation from the conventional designs. IVD diaphragmsidewalls drop almost straight down from the...
