Gimbal Metal Expansion Joint
The main mission of the Gimbal metal expansion joint (simple metal expansion joint for two-axis angular movements SSC and SFC) is to absorb angular expansion movements with rotation on two axes both thermal and mechanical origin.
Gimbal metal expansion joint (simple metal expansion joint for two-axis angular movements) is composed of a single bellow of several waves in the form of “U”. These waves are made by one or more metal sheets longitudinally welded and shaped hydraulically or mechanically.
Due to its configuration, the designer must bear in mind that these models DO NOT transmit pressure stresses to the fixed points and guides of the piping system.

Gimbal Expansion Joint Applications
To absorb rotations in any plane by means of Gimbal metal expansion joints, we can use two compensators to absorb lateral movement.
