Commercial
As commercial air travel became available to the general public, Metal Bellows was the first to provide edge welded bellows components to support the new generations of advanced airplanes. The Commercial Aerospace industry has grown to include large passenger aircraft, regional aircraft and the highly competitive business aircraft segment including helicopters. Metal Bellows provides products that are integral parts of many airline Systems including:
- Hydraulic systems (for more info see our accumulators section)
- Braking systems (for more info see our couplings section)
- Pneumatic Systems (for more info see our reservoirs & seals section)
- Navigation Systems (for more info see our bellows section)
- Fuel Systems (for more info see our actuators & bellows section)
- Potable Water Systems (for more info see our pumps section)
- Fluid Storage Systems (for more info see our reservoirs section)
- Thrust Reverser Systems (for more info see our accumulators section)
- Sanitary Systems (for more info see our pumps section)
Our world class partners, including Boeing, Airbus, Learjet, Embraer, Pratt and Whitney, Rolls Royce, Hamilton Sundstrand and Honeywell rely on Metal Bellows to support legacy programs and to create new products for ever changing aerospace requirements.
Military
