Products

We develop new products (and reimagine conventional ones) to help advance your technology and exceed your mission-critical requirements. Senior Metal Bellows offers robust, reliable, and repeatable technology with a wide range of design capabilities.

Bellows & Seal Assemblies

We design and manufacture a variety of bellows dynamic seals, ideal for high temperature applications where elastomeric seals break down.

Compressors & Vacuum Pumps

Our hermetically sealed bellows compressors and vacuum pumps use our unique welded metal bellows technology for pumping liquids and gases.

Thermal Valves & Actuators

Unlike conventional devices, Senior’s thermal actuators and thermal valves use our welded metal bellows technology—which eliminates the need for elastomeric membranes.

Hermetic Actuators

Our PRIME MOVER™ actuator is a unique linear actuator that provides superior reliability and maintenance-free performance.

Maintenance-Free Accumulators & Reservoirs

Our HIPRES® high-pressure maintenance-free accumulators are ideal for energy storage or pulsation damping applications for hydraulic, fuel, cooling or other fluid system applications.

Motion Feedthroughs

Our welded metal bellows firewall feedthroughs seal penetrations while allowing for axial and rotary motion.

Couplings

Our flexible shaft coupling products satisfy a wide variety of applications where precise positioning and control of machine components is required.

High Pressure Switch

Senior has developed a zero leakage high pressure switch. The device can be designed to actuate at any pressure from 5 to 5,000 psi and can withstand an overpressure of 25,000 psi.

Standard Products

These products are suitable for use in extreme environments where zero leakage, zero contamination, high reliability, and long life are required.
