Rubber pipe expansion joint 

STENFLEX® rubber expansion joints impress with their compensating and damping material properties. Excessive force, arising within the pipeline, is deflected by STENFLEX® rubber expansion joints before this can be passed on to adjacent components.
Our expertise, in designing and constructing rubber expansion joints, is reflected in their long service life and high operational reliability. This explains why most European nuclear power plants are equipped with STENFLEX® expansion joints.
STENFLEX® pipe connections are made of high-quality rubber. They are used in industrial environments and in plant and process engineering, as well as in mechanical engineering, in the production of motors and the construction of industrial equipment, and even in shipbuilding. They have also found their way into building services engineering, environmental engineering and hydraulics.
Structure: Rubber bellows with adapters (flange or thread).

Movement absorption: Axial, lateral, angular as well as combined movements are absorbed. Universal expansion joints, with two rubber bellows and a distance pipe, are used to absorb significant movements.

Fixed points: Stable pipeline fixed points, and a correct and proper pipeline, are required to absorb axial forces.
