MDC Formed Bellows with Weld Cuffs are high-performance, weldable vacuum components designed for UHV systems. Constructed with Type 300 series stainless steel bellows and Type 316 stainless steel weldable tube cuffs, these bellows offer excellent mechanical flexibility and thermal durability. Vacuum connections are achieved via welding, brazing, or soldering, making them ideal for custom system integration. Each unit is vacuum shrink-wrapped to maintain cleanroom-ready surfaces, and tubing is hot mandrel drawn for precision. These components are essential in assemblies where motion compensation, alignment, and vibration absorption are critical.

Industry Applications

MDC Formed Bellows with Weld Cuffs are widely used in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments including research laboratories, semiconductor process tools, beamlines, cryogenic setups, and vacuum chamber assemblies. Their flexible welded design accommodates system misalignment, thermal expansion, and vibrational damping. Built for extreme performance, they are ideal for critical motion transfer interfaces, high-temperature environments, and dynamic load-bearing systems. These components are an excellent fit for demanding applications requiring leak-tight, thermally stable, and weld-integrated solutions in scientific, aerospace, and industrial vacuum systems.
