Recommendations for product selection |
||||||||
|
Inert-gas-welded expansion joints |
||||||||
| - | excel due to their high elasticity; | |||||||
| - | can be fitted even when there are large geometrical deviations from the DIN tape. | |||||||
| Pressure-riveted expansion joints | ||||||||
| - | are employed in applications where an extremely high frequency of movement is essential, e.g. in robots or welding machines; | |||||||
| - | can be manufactured in any desired thickness. | |||||||
