Flexible Exhaust Connectors And Bellows

Senior Flexonics designs, Engineers and manufactures a complete range of metal bellows assemblies to match each vehicle’s unique platform. We are an established and trusted OEM supplier and resource to some of the world’s leading brands. Application of our metal bellows can be found in all on / off road vehicle types. We have experience with Commercial Buses, Agriculture, Construction, Forestry, Marine and Mining Equipment.
Different flex designs provide different benefits at different costs.
Design constraints that determine drive flex design include :
• Transverse or longitudinal engine orientation
• Allowable engine roll & exhaust alignment relative to engine roll axis (displacements, torsion, etc.)
• Available packaging area in engine compartment
• Engine temperatures
• Primary need/function for flex (i.e. durability, NVH, assembly, thermal expansion, etc.)

CenterLink Bellows

Senior Flexonics has developed a more robust truck bellow design without the need for exterior mesh that had a tendency to fray. From customer feedback we invented a self-contained dampener that shifts dampening to the existing component. Called “CenterLink”, it has less sensitivity to frequency inputs while offering superior dampening. This next generation product has been in production for the past several years with excellent results.
CenterLink Design Features
• No external dampener – self contained
• Dampening shifted to existing component
• Interlock hose liner
• Superior dampening = more life
• Less sensitivity to frequency inputs
• Increased durability to higher vibration inputs
• Reduction of risk for bellows failure from interlock hose strikes
• Carrier has no leak path mechanical lock no welding required
• No tears during forming
