What is wire and textile overbraid used for?
Overbraid is applied over hoses and bellows to add mechanical protection, abrasion resistance and burst reinforcement, and to help contain movement in flexible assemblies. Wire overbraid provides high-strength protection and pressure containment, while textile overbraid offers lighter-weight abrasion and chafe resistance.
Beldam Crossley supplies both wire and textile overbraid options — see the dedicated overbraid page for the current range.
Can Beldam Crossley supply the bellows as well as the overbraid?
Yes. Beldam Crossley manufactures bellows in-house, so overbraid can be supplied alongside a matched bellows component. The range includes:
- PTFE Machined Bellows — machined from solid for chemical and temperature resistance
- M Bellows
- V Bellows
This lets OEMs source the bellows and its overbraid reinforcement together, reducing supplier count and simplifying specification.
