ULTRASPHERE EXPANSION JOINT

OVERVIEW:  The Ultrasphere is the the most widely applied rubber expansion joint available today. For a reasonable cost, it provides good pressure, temperature, and movement characteristics.  It also helps to control pulsation shocks and noise transmission. Neoprene, EPDM, and Nitrile materials for these expansion joints are all stocked. 

The floating metal flanges on the expansion joint freely rotate for easy installation, and it comes with tapped holes which eliminate the cost of nuts.  Drilled holes are also available, as are stainless and metric flanges. The Ultrasphere with Cables is just like the Ultrasphere with one big difference: no control units are required. The optional control units may be critical for your application, and must be carefully considered.  See our training video for details.

Ultrasphere Twins are used exactly as the standard Ultrasphere, but it allows greater compression. Also available are Ultrasphere Twin Unions, which are used for connecting pipes and equipment where threaded union ends are preferred. 

FEATURES:

• Floating flanges, with either standard threaded holes for easy installation, or drilled holes
  
• Available in multiple rubber elastomers from stock
  
• Available with optional control unit tie rods to prevent overextension
  
• Moves in both axial and lateral offset directions
  

APPLICATIONS:

• Flexible pump and other equipment connectors
