Way cover bellows improve human and machine safety, machine uptime, and dynamic protection. They bring reliable, engineered solutions to complex and specialty applications. Equipment protection, particularly flexible covers, represents the largest part of our product portfolio.
Bellows are most often used to protect critical components. Actuators used in motion control equipment are often exposed to contaminants ranging from dust and abrasive grit to metal chips and weld spatter. Finished surfaces of cylinder rods, slides, and other mechanisms need protection from these wear-inducing elements.
In other cases, way cover bellows might be used around pinch points to reduce the hazard of unintentional contact with machine parts. Bellows are also used as flexible ducting for air exhaust/intake applications, such as traction motor cooling on light rail vehicles. Bellows are used in many industries such as machine tool, medical, and transportation. Two examples are bus bellows and protective skirts around lift tables.

The lathe chuck guards prevent the operator’s hand or clothing from getting caught in the chuck while it is turning. For additional security, the chuck guard is designed in such a way that one cannot “forget” the spindle key in place by omission. These guards are available for manual centering lathes of different sizes and the type of guard to be used is selected according to the size of the lathe and its maximum workpiece diameter. Chuck guards are always equipped with a microswitch.
How Chuck Guards Are Made?
Chuck guard is a material that is useful in many different industries. If you are currently working in these industries, you are probably familiar with this type of guard already. But in case you weren’t aware, this tool is not only for your tool’s protection, but it also acts as a protector or shield to your operators.
