Clamps

How to select a mounting clamp?

A clamp should match the geometry of the component being secured and the supporting structure. For a pipe, the outside diameter is important; for a rectangular profile, its width, height and the space available to close the fastening matter. Selection also depends on whether the component must be held fixed or the connection must allow movement specified in the design.

Dimensions needed for an enquiry

• Component being secured: outside diameter or cross-section width and height.
• Installation space: room for the clamp, bolts, nuts and tool.
• Connection to the structure: hole spacing and diameters, thread type and size where applicable.
• Operating conditions: load, vibration, temperature, moisture and contact with chemicals.
• Version: required material, coating and any liner, according to the application documentation.

When replacing an existing part, a photograph of the clamp and a dimensioned sketch are helpful. A photograph without a scale is insufficient to determine the exact size. If the part has a manufacturer’s designation, provide it along with the required quantity.

Questions about clamp selection

Is stating the nominal pipe size enough?

It is best to provide the actual outside diameter and pipe material. Nominal size is not always equal to the outside diameter in millimetres. Compare the clamp range with the component’s dimension at the fixing location.

Are mounting clamps, hose clamps and U-bolts interchangeable?

These names may refer to different designs and operating methods. Before substituting, compare geometry, clamping method and parameters. The catalogue also has separate groups for hose clamps and ties and U-bolts, making it easier to find the appropriate group.

Does a liner mean suitability for every temperature?

No. If a clamp has a liner, its material and permissible operating conditions must be checked separately. The appearance of a flexible component does not confirm resistance to temperature, oil or other media.
