Stainless Steel U-Shaped Clamp For Hose Fixing

Product introduction

U-shaped clamp is a fastener made of stainless steel strips stamped into a "U"-shaped groove and equipped with special bolts and nuts. Its core design is to tighten the bolts so that the belt-shaped hoop shrinks evenly under the guidance of the "U"-shaped groove, thereby achieving rapid tightening and sealing of round or special-shaped parts. This product is known for its durability and strong locking power. Its unique U-shaped groove structure can effectively prevent the band from twisting and deforming during the tightening process, ensuring even pressure distribution. Usually made of stainless steel, it has excellent rust and corrosion resistance and can adapt to harsh environments such as humidity and high temperature. U-shaped clamps are widely used in hose connections for automobile fuel pipes, cooling water pipes, ventilation pipes, ship piping systems, and mechanical equipment. It not only provides clamping force and anti-vibration performance far beyond ordinary worm clamps, but also enables quick installation and disassembly. In summary, U-shaped clamps are an efficient, reliable and durable ideal fastening solution for modern industrial pipeline connections, especially suitable for key parts with strict requirements on sealing, vibration resistance and strength.

 

Product features

1. Strong uniform clamping force and high sealing performance

Its unique U-shaped groove structure is the key. When the bolt is tightened, the band shrinks evenly and smoothly under the precise guidance of the U-shaped groove, avoiding the distortion or local stress concentration that may occur with ordinary clamps. This uniform shrinkage can form a strong and consistent circumferential holding force on the sealed part (such as a hose), thereby achieving excellent sealing effect and vibration resistance.

 

2. Extremely high mechanical strength and fatigue resistance

The whole body is usually made of high-strength stainless steel and is stamped in one piece, with a solid structure. Compared with ordinary worm clamps, it can withstand greater bolt torque and radial pressure, and its mechanical strength is significantly higher. In the environment of continuous vibration and pressure fluctuation, it is not easy to loosen or deform, has excellent fatigue resistance and excellent reliability.

 

3. Excellent weather resistance and service life

The material itself (such as 304 or 316 stainless steel) gives it excellent rust and corrosion resistance, and can adapt to high and low temperature environments. The surface is smooth and difficult to accumulate dirt, ensuring stability and long service life under long-term use. It is especially suitable for harsh working conditions such as automobiles, ships and outdoor industrial equipment.

 

4. Reliable anti-loosening design and reusability

Through the cooperation of special bolts and self-locking nuts, effective mechanical self-locking can be produced after tightening to prevent loosening due to vibration. Despite its sturdy design, it can be easily removed and reinstalled when needed without affecting its performance.

 

Product application

1. Automobile industry and transportation

This is the most classic application field of U-shaped clamps. It is widely used in fuel pipes, turbocharger pipes, intercooler pipes, heavy-duty truck cooling systems and air brake pipes in automobile engines. Its strong anti-vibration ability ensures that the connection remains firm under continuous engine vibration and prevents media leakage.

 

2. Ship and Marine Engineering

Because its material is usually stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance (such as grade 316), U-shaped clamps are ideal for connecting ship seawater cooling pipelines, bilge pump pipelines, ballast systems and offshore platform pipelines, and can effectively resist salt spray and seawater erosion.

 

3. Industrial equipment and energy fields

In the hydraulic pipelines, high-pressure fuel pipes and pressurized air pipelines of engineering machinery, compressors, and generator sets, U-shaped clamps can withstand the high pressure and pulses inside the system and provide reliable sealing. It is also commonly used in pipeline connections in the chemical industry because its material can withstand a variety of chemical media.

 

4. Aerospace and military equipment

In the aerospace field, which has extreme requirements on weight and reliability, specially designed and lightweight U-shaped clamps are used to fix pipelines in key parts to ensure absolute safety under extreme working conditions.

 

FAQ

Q: What are the main differences between U-shaped clamps and ordinary worm clamps?

A: The core difference lies in structure, strength and reliability: U-shaped clamp: with U-shaped groove and bolt structure, large and uniform clamping force, high mechanical strength, excellent vibration resistance and fatigue resistance, suitable for critical heavy-load situations. Worm clamp: Locked by worm gear and toothed belt, it is low cost, but the clamping force is uneven, prone to creep relaxation, and may loosen under continuous vibration. It is mostly used in general occasions where performance requirements are not high.

 

Q: What is the special function of the "U-shaped groove" of the U-shaped clamp?

A: The U-shaped groove is its core design and has two main functions: guidance and uniform shrinkage: ensuring that the band can shrink smoothly and evenly radially when tightening to avoid distortion, thereby forming a uniform circumferential sealing pressure. Enhanced structural strength: The grooved structure greatly enhances the rigidity of the hoop, allowing it to withstand higher bolt torque and radial pressure and not easily deform.

 

Q: Why does it perform better in high vibration environments?

A: Thanks to its solid one-piece structure, uniform contact pressure and mechanical self-locking effect produced by cooperation with bolts and nuts. These features work together to effectively resist the relaxation tendency caused by vibration and maintain preload force.
