Inflatable Elastomeric Bladders

The Pneuma-Seal line of inflatable elastomeric bladders has been standardized to simplify the design and fabrication of devices using pneumatic actuators and seals. Designated Pneuma-Cel, the "plug and play" EPDM bladders find wide use in mechanical clamping, actuation, sealing, stabilizing, and cushioning applications.

Standard lengths of 6, 9, and 12 in. are available. Width is 1-1/4 in. and uninflated thickness is 5/8 in. Fully inflated, thickness is 1 in., providing a 3/8-in. range of motion. All sizes come either unsupported or pre-mounted in protective aluminum housings and with 6-in. long flexible hose air connection terminated by a 1/8-27 NPT pneumatic fitting.

The Pneuma-Cel standard bladders are based on more than more than 10,000 custom bladders. Many are tandem installations to build up load capacity.
