Most industrial plant and machinery needs flexibility to maintain efficient and safe operation:
- Flexible protectors to contain lubricants and shroud exposed mechanisms that operate in aggressive environments.
- Flexible connectors to absorb thermal movement, isolate vibration and compensate for misalignment in ductwork and piping.
James Walker Townson designs and manufactures ranges of flexible bellows and expansion joints from non-asbestos materials. These cater for industrial duties across the temperature range -60°C to +1000°C.







Our expansion joints are made entirely of non-asbestos materials. Their composite construction provides durability with increased flex fatigue life over comparable systems, and avoids insulation loss due to shake-down or compaction.
We offer ranges of standard as well as custom manufactured bellows. The selection of bellows design, open:close ratios, stroke length, convolution width, split or endless configuration, and materials will depend on your specific application.
In addition to our expansion joints and bellows, we also offer well-proven ranges of bulkhead penetration seals and chimney seals that are based on the technology we apply to our main product ranges.
