Trident Marine Stainless Steel Constant Torque Clamp 5/8″ Band, Hose I.D. – 6″, Hose O.D. – 6.25″ to 7.125″

Stainless Steel Constant Torque Clamp 5/8" Band, Hose I.D. – 6", Hose O.D. – 6.25" to 7.125"

Virtually all rubber hose compresses (cold flow) after installation of clamping device, resulting in an almost immediate torque loss that can exceed 80% of installation torque. Similarly, virtually all metal connections expand as a system heats up, and then contracts as the system cools. Conventional worm gear, T-bolt, and other clamps are passive, in that expansion or contraction of components cannot be compensated for with out re-tightening or loosening the clamps. This clamping system is an “active” clamping mechanism, which monitors and then compensates for the changes by actually changing diameter through a unique worm gear Belleville assembly.
