Gimbal Expansion Joints are basically the same as the hinge type, except that instead of being limited to deflection in only one plane, it can accept bending or angulation in any plane. It contains two sets of hinge pins, the axis of each set perpendicular to the other. Each set of pins is connected to each other with a central gimbal ring. Trans Flex Engineers is the manufacturer of Gimbal Expansion Joints.
Trans Flex Engineers manufactures a wide range of Bellows, Hoses and Joints which include Metallic Expansion Bellows, Metallic Corrugated Hoses, Rubber Expansion Bellows, Metallic Expansion Bellows Element and Rectangular Metallic Expansion Bellows. Gimbal Expansion Joints provides the same type of restraint and resistance to axial forces, such as the pressure thrust, and to shear forces as the hinge type.
