Trident Marine Stainless Steel Constant Torque Clamp 5/8" Band, Hose I.D. - 2-3/8" to 3", Hose O.D. - 2.75" to 3.625" [730-2120]

Stainless Steel Constant Torque Clamp 5/8" Band, Hose I.D. - 2-3/8" to 3", Hose O.D. - 2.75" to 3.625"

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.
