Gimbal Expansion Joints

Gimbal Expansion Joints incorporate hinges connected to a common floating gimbal ring designed to restrain pressure thrust loads and external forces such as dead weight and wind.

Single Gimbal Expansion Joint

  • Features one pair of hinges connected to a floating gimbal ring.
  • Compensates for angular rotation in all directions.
  • Provides multi-plane flexibility for piping systems.

Double Gimbal Expansion Joint

  • Contains two pairs of hinges connected to a floating gimbal ring on either side of a center spool.
  • Absorbs larger angular movements in multiple planes.
  • Suitable for systems requiring enhanced flexibility and load distribution.

At LSI-MECH, we have in-house expertise to design and manufacture both single and double gimbal expansion joints using advanced tools like FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and Solid Works.
