A multi-diameter bellows for use in a seal section of a submersible pump.
The bellows is adapted to surround a shaft that communicates the motor
with the pump. The bellows is made of a first collapsible section and a
second collapsible section. The volume of the bellows is varied by moving
a coupling member that attaches the first collapsible section to the
second collapsible section. The coupling member has an outside portion
for connecting to the second collapsible section and an inside portion
for connecting to the first collapsible section. The coupling member
additionally has a transitional section between the outside portion and
the inside portion. The transitional portion of the coupling member
allows the inside portion to be located within the second collapsible
section, i.e., allows the collapsible sections to be "nested", which
increases displaced volume for a given stroke length of the coupling
member.
