The Gimbal Type Expansion Joint (Flanged Series) is engineered to absorb complex three-dimensional movements in pipelines, including angular, lateral and seismic displacements. This advanced compensator design uses a dual-bellows structure connected with a gimbal ring assembly, allowing controlled flexibility while protecting the system from excessive mechanical stress.
These joints are essential components in high-risk or high-movement areas such as industrial plants, energy facilities, pump stations, boiler rooms and seismic zones. Their ability to accommodate ground shifts and structural movement ensures long-term reliability and safe operation.
Manufactured with stainless steel bellows and reinforced carbon steel frames, the gimbal topology offers superior durability, pressure resistance and vibration absorption. The combination of bellows and gimbal hinges prevents torsional stress, making it ideal for systems exposed to dynamic loads.
