Product and Technology Introduction

Product and Technology Introduction

Bellows

Deep drawing bellows forming technology for thin-walled metal pipes

会社の写真

Normally, metals require heat treatment (annealing) after processing, but Sangen Rasenkan Kogyo has independently developed a processing method that does not damage the material's structure and ensures that the plate thickness of the peaks and valleys does not change after forming, thus eliminating the need for a heat treatment process in deep drawing.

The bellows we manufacture are multi-layer bellows ranging from one to four layers. Compared to other companies' products, they have superior springiness (lower spring constant), are highly resistant to repeated expansion and contraction, and can achieve large expansion and contraction amounts over short spans. Currently, they are used in industries ranging from aerospace to pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, automobiles, and chemical plants, and we have received orders from over 1200 companies.

We accept orders for lengths from 30mm to 850m in 1mm increments, and we can accommodate your desired dimensions (no mold fee required).
Our standard product is made from SUS316L material, but we can also manufacture bellows from special materials such as Hastelloy C-22, Inconel 625, M Monel, and pure nickel, even for single units, with short lead times. Furthermore, we can form bellows from titanium or other undisclosed special materials if you provide the pipe, so please feel free to contact us.

Hydraulically formed bellows, inner diameter 9.5mm to 30mm
Roll-formed bellows, inner diameter 32mm to 850mm
Welded bellows, inner diameter 8mm to 160mm
We can handle a wide range of applications, from ultra-high vacuum to high pressure, and from cryogenic to high temperatures. We can also manufacture products that meet the high-pressure gas equipment testing requirements of the High-Pressure Gas Safety Act. Please contact us for details.

Flexible tube

We can handle orders for even custom lengths and special fittings, starting from just one piece.

Flexible tubes are manufactured by forming and welding thin stainless steel sheets, then corrugating them using a high-speed spiral tube manufacturing machine, and finally undergoing solidification heat treatment.

Sizes range from 8A to 250A, and materials are SUS304 and SUS316L. All are made to order. We can accommodate special fittings and custom lengths (in 10mm increments), even for single tubes. We will deliver tubes of the appropriate length for your equipment, even just one at a time.
*Next-day shipping is available for urgent orders.

When ordering, please confirm the nominal diameter, exterior finish (bare, 1W, 2W, hoop blade, with spring, glass sleeve, etc.), overall length, and fittings.

Long flexible tube

会社の写真

This is a flexible stainless steel pipe developed for water supply and hot water piping, making it easy for even amateurs to install on-site (it is different from pipes for city gas and LPG).
Each roll is 25 meters long and can be cut to any length like a rubber hose. Installation is easy with simple tools, even for those who are not professionals.

While this product can be used for water supply and hot water supply, as well as air and oil piping, it is designed for fixed piping and is not suitable for locations with vibration or repeated use. In such cases, please consider using flexible tubing or bellows.
The lengths are 25m for 15A and 20A, and 10m for 25A.
The dedicated Yellow River pipes are available in 15A and 20A sizes for general use, while the 25A size is a custom order item.
The materials are SUS304 and SUS316L.

For short-length products that have passed inspections by the Japan Water Works Association, there may be cases where no inspected products are available, so please inquire separately.

Our unique, mold-free technology allows us to meet a variety of needs.

A system that eliminates the need for molds, is inexpensive, and has a short lead time!

Sangen Rasenkan Kogyo designs and manufactures bellows and flexible tubes. Bellows are used in vacuum equipment, chemical and pharmaceutical equipment, and space-related facilities, while flexible tubes have a wide range of applications, from water and gas piping to vacuum piping for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and are used in everything from ordinary homes to space-related facilities.

Normally, bellows other than standard sizes require the creation of new molds, but this company has developed a method of molding them by combining general-purpose internal molds, eliminating the need to create new molds. As a result, they can not only manufacture at a lower cost but also easily handle special sizes and small orders. Furthermore, they are committed to training multi-skilled workers and have established a system that allows them to deliver products in half the lead time of other companies.

Matching technology and needs through website-based order fulfillment.

What further boosted Sangen Rasenkan Kogyo's ability to shorten delivery times was the increase in orders through its website. After redesigning the website a few years ago, orders via the website grew dramatically. The company's technology matched the needs of customers looking for high-performance bellows.
Our efforts to respond to inquiries and orders, as well as our efforts to digitize materials, are leading to new customer orders every month.
The company continues to significantly increase its performance, but says the most challenging aspect is process management.

"Since we only accept small orders, our production volume naturally fluctuates considerably. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, so meeting deadlines and maintaining quality are paramount. Process management is extremely difficult, yet crucial. We hardly have any overtime, and this is a result of our unique manufacturing methods and thorough process management," the president proudly states.
These achievements have also boosted employee confidence. The president says that the use of the internet is contributing to employees' dreams.
"We've started doing business with a major corporation that we previously thought was out of our league, and it's really boosted our employees' morale. I feel like their dreams are expanding too. We want to continue making effective use of the internet as a platform for meeting a wide range of people and showcasing our technology."
