BFM® connector designed for loss-in-weight & dosing applications
The BFM® Weighing Bellows is designed to minimize resistance transfer on weighing equipment.
Made from our super strong but flexible urethane-based Seeflex 040E material, the BFM® Weighing Bellows won't fracture as a result of constant flexing.
Snap-fit connector & spigot design ensures fast, accurate installation every time connector is removed & replaced.
Designed for applications where precise weighing is required.

Installing your BFM Spigots for Weighing Bellows:
Having the correct installation gap (IG) is extremely important for optimal performance.
Spigots for Weighing Bellows must be installed exactly 80mm (3 5/32") apart.
All Weighing Bellows connectors are the same height and the installation gap must be 80mm (3 5/32") for optimal performance.
Top & bottom spigots must be aligned vertically with no offset.
