Bellows joint absorbs torsional deflections in duct system
Abstract
Long, thin-walled bellows compressed into a short length absorbs the same amount of torsional deflection as the same tube in full length condition and saves in cost, complexity and space. This bellows has lower torsional spring rate to absorb the bulk of the duct assembly tortional deflections, leaving the other bellows free to absorb axial and angular deflections.
