OcelflexGimbal Angular Expansion Joint

SHARE

A Gimbal Angular Expansion Joint is more flexible than a Hinged Angular Expansion Joint as it is capable of movement in multiple angular rotation planes. It contains two sets of hinges, the axis of each set perpendicular to the other, allowing angular deflection in multiple planes. Gimbal Joints are used in sets of two or threes, as the arrangement can provide greater lateral and angular deflection. For few applications Gimbal Expansion Joints are also combined with Hinged Expansion Joints for a more economical solution.

Angular Joints like Gimbal and Hinged Expansion Joints can accomodate very large movements with very low reaction forces, only using sufficient intermediate guides, without the need for complex fixed points and structures. This provides an economical advantage for pipe systems where large movements in multiple planes are needed.
