9.2 Edge Welded Bellows<br />

These bellows are made up from very thin stainless steel discs stacked together <strong>and</strong> welded along<br />

their edges. The advantage of the design is the concertina style bellows that is very flexible allowing<br />

designs that have long extensions <strong>and</strong> short compressions. They have two main applications. Firstly,<br />

applications that requires a device to extend or contract into the vacuum space where an elastomeric<br />

seal on a sliding shaft is not adequate. Such as a sample manipulator or Faraday cup. Secondly,<br />

where a device such as a detector or sample positioner is sensitive to vibration <strong>and</strong> must be<br />

decoupled from the vibration source.<br />
