MDC Formed Bellows with Standard Cuffs are precision-engineered weldable components designed for high-performance ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments. Manufactured from Type 321 stainless steel, these flexible, short-length bellows feature standard cuffs that simplify welding and alignment in custom vacuum assemblies. MDC-Weld components are vacuum-sealed in shrink-wrapped packaging, ensuring cleanroom readiness. Tubing is hot mandrel drawn and seam welded for durability and performance. These bellows are ideal for absorbing mechanical misalignment, thermal expansion, and motion in vacuum manifolds, chambers, and instrumentation.

Industry Applications

MDC Formed Bellows with Standard Cuffs are used in a wide range of vacuum system applications, including UHV research instruments, load locks, beamlines, semiconductor processing, and optical equipment. Their flexible design allows them to compensate for misalignment, absorb vibrations, and tolerate high thermal cycling. Engineers rely on these components for building robust assemblies in vacuum chambers, gas delivery systems, cryogenic setups, and motion transfer interfaces. With ultra-clean packaging and precision-formed cuffs, they are ideal for critical vacuum sealing and high-performance operations.
