Hose clamps are a part of almost every large machine we use on a daily basis or that provides us with fuel, energy, and transportation. They are designed to provide even pressure on all sides, without any gaps, in or to properly seal a hose and allow fluid to pass through an engine or another part of a machine. And indeed, hose clamps come in a wide array of sizes to meet the fastening needs for a hose of any size.
Although hose clamps are typically limited to moderate pressures, such as those found in automotive and home applications, they still lend themselves to a very large array of applications. And the hose clamp market has received news this month concerning a new adjustable hose clamp designed for fluid connections in high-pressure applications with rubber or silicone hoses.
The new clamps, released by NORMA Group, a global market leader in engineered joining technology, are designed specifically to meet OEM and aftermarket applications. The new clamp features a high-pressure dual-deal profile and provide a wide range of adjustability, because of its worm-drive mechanism.
“The Breeze Super-Seal clamp is our latest breakthrough in clamping technology and is available for the OEM and aftermarket,” notes Tim Jones, president of NORMA Americas. “We are preparing to ship Super-Seal to several heavy equipment customers and expect to be specified on additional car and truck OEM programs. Super-Seal will be a great alternative for repairs as well, especially in applications with limited space.”
Hose clamps represent an increasingly important part of the engineering market, especially at engines operating temperatures and pressures increase when it comes to industrial applications. The new Super-Seal hose clamp provides a high spring force, resulting in consistent clamp load during joint contraption.
Having high quality stainless hose clamps is vital when it comes to building and repairing machines. They can be particularly helpful in a fix when the proper replacement hose isn’t available. Make sure to choose from the selection of the many types of hose clamps available for the perfect stainless steel option for whatever job you have on hand.
