Gimbal Expansion Joint — Angular Motion & Thrust Absorption in All Planes

submitted 5 days ago by flexatherm to news

A gimbal expansion joint consists of two perpendicular hinges and a floating gimbaled ring, allowing it to absorb internal pressure thrust, support system weight, prevent torsion, and transmit loads through its structure. Ideal for complex piping systems where conventional anchoring or guiding isn’t feasible, these joints accommodate angular motion in multiple planes to reduce stress and maintain stability.
