Where to buy Bellows for my NSK Ballscrews and THK Linear guides ?

[Calico]

Is there a "fit all" Bellows ?
or customs bellows ?
may be all size bellows ?

I must protect mine with something.

btw my ballscrew is 1.5 Meter long.

Calico -

It's not how long your ballscrew is, it's what you do with it.

THK makes 'em for the linear guides - the ones for HSR-30 rails, for example, are #JH30-25/175 - $47 for 150mm of travel (25mm compressed, 175 extended for this example) - a catalog item but custom made - take 3-6 weeks to get without expedite.

The bellows I have seen for ballscrews suck. I am sure there have got to be some good quality ones out there somewhere but I have not seen any that I liked except the rigid telescopic tubes...I am sure they are cheap, huh? You may want to look for Schraeder(sp?) Bellows for the fabric bellows - I think they are custom - I can't recall.

Hope this helps! I hope you find protection for your ballscrew...just be sure to check for holes, install it correctly and do not subject it to any severe abuse.

Get the linear bearing bellows from THK - see my previous post - they have 'em. They work. They are available. Seriously.

I just did a quick Google for "bellows" - lots of stuff out there, Calico. And there looks to be lots of stuff on your side of the pond, too! (in the UK).

Good luck! Let us know what you end up with!
