Thin-wall
Metallic Expansion Joint: Gimbal
The gimbal expansion joint is
basically the same as the hinge type, except that instead of being
limited to deflection in only one plane, it can accept bending or
angulation in any plane. It contains two sets of hinge pins or pivots,
the axis of each set perpendicular to the other. Each set of pins is
connected to each other with a central gimbal ring, in much the same way
that a universal joint on an automobile works.
This unit provides the same type
of restraint and resistance to axial forces, such as the pressure
thrust, and to shear forces as the hinge type.
