Axis Bellows covers
Axis-Wise Bellows Cover Breakdown
🔹 X-Axis Bellows
-
Typically the longest axis on a CNC bed
-
Requires bellows with long stroke and smooth movement
-
Designed to handle high-speed travel and repetitive motion
🔹 Y-Axis Bellows
-
Medium stroke, vertical or horizontal orientation depending on machine design
-
Often protected with flat or U-shaped bellows
-
Needs to resist coolant splashes and chips falling from overhead
🔹 Z-Axis Bellows
-
Usually shorter travel, but needs higher flexibility
-
Protects vertical moving parts, like spindles or headstocks
-
May use round or tapered bellows for smooth vertical motion
