8. Common Clamp Products Found on OEM Applications
Spring Loaded T-bolt Band Clamps
Offer both 94143 Series Light Duty Series and 94158 Series Heavy Duty Spring Loaded Clamps
Recommended for critical hose applications where “Cold Flow” conditions are a concern
Spring-Loaded Clamps are designed to compensate for fluctuations in all types of hose line
assemblies. When temperature and/or pressure changes cause hose lines to expand or contract,
Clampco Spring-Loaded Clamps adjust accordingly to provide constant band tension.
Floating bridge is standard option for this product
This product far exceeds the capabilities of standard Constant Torque style clamps
Now offering High Corrosion Resistant Option!!
Common Applications
Coolant & Air Intake Hose Connections
Diesel Engine Hot Side Charge Air Connections
Marine Silicone Hose Connections
Performance Racing Applications
9. Common Clamp Products Found on OEM Applications
V-band Clamps (Also known as V-band or Marman Couplings)
Clampco custom engineers V-band clamps based on specific application corrosion,
temperature, radial/axial load and leakage rate requirements
Endless design capabilities to match joint seal requirements
Manufacture V-band clamps from 1.75” to 80” diameters
Numerous latch options to suit every application
Custom designs to meet your application requirements
Common Applications
Turbo Chargers
Diesel After-Treatment Systems
Exhaust Manifold Connections
Fluid Filtration Systems
Pumps
Turbo Applications DPF Applications
10. Factors taken into consideration for New Product Development that
allow Clampco to identify Cost Drivers and offer Clamp Products that
meet Customer Performance Criteria and Cost Targets
1. General understanding of application/system our product will clamp, fasten or join
• Identify and understand Customer Product requiring Clamp Product and end use of
Customer Product ( i.e. V-band clamp for SCR system used on Off-road Construction
Vehicle) Different factors come into play based on end use of Customer Product.
(i.e. On-road vs Off-road)
2. Take into consideration any extreme durability requirements due to high temperatures,
radial/axial loads or high corrosion environment.
• High heat/corrosive environments may require special Stainless Materials or Components.
Mounting orientation (vertical/horizontal) or high vibration/shock may create excessive
strain on clamp, creating leak paths.
3. Leak-rate requirements / Special gasket material (high compression requirement)
• Often, not enough attention is placed on gasket materials and compression specifications
to meet leak-rate requirements. High gasket compression requirements, coupled with
other clamp load requirements may exceed clamp v-retainer material capabilities. Provided
the proper information, Clampco Engineering can assist our Customers in providing clamp
load capability calculations and offer designs that will exceed Customer Specifications.
11. 4. Special access requirements/ clearance issues that demand special latch
configuration or clamp orientation.
• Diesel Emission After-treatment systems demand large amounts of space. Finding
mounting locations for multiple vehicle platforms is challenging. Clampco can offer low
profile latch/hardware options that improve ease of assembly in minimal clearance areas.
5. Does the application require frequent maintenance (Air Filter) that would lend itself to
a Quick Release/Over-center Handle latch design (Add Value to the Customer
Application)
• Clampco offers numerous Latch Configurations to meet Customer Specific Requirements.
5. Special Serviceability /Warranty requirements for application (install/disassembly
without thread galling or damage to clamp)
• With ever-increasing Customer demand for longer Warranty Periods and Increased
Component Lifecycle, Clampco offers proven design options to help meet these stringent
requirements. Design options include the use of
1. Various component material variations (dissimilar and/or high temp. resistant
materials)
2. Custom component coatings (silver plate/Mil Spec. dry film lube) used on both
fasteners and V-inserts
3. Use of proven Aerospace grade fasteners that have proven history of resisting thread
galling
4. Can lower grade of stainless be utilized (409/441) or will increased grade be required
(321 or A286)
Factors taken into consideration for New Product Dev. Cont’d
12. 8. Design flexibility with flange configuration to take advantage of existing common profiles
to avoid costly tooling, special material spot buy costs and improved lead time
• To avoid tooling costs and allow for improved turn around for DV part testing,
Clampco recommends Customers utilize one of our standard V-retainer insert
profiles shown on page 21 of our Clampco Catalog. (also online www.clampco.com)
We normally recommend our 81 or 82 Series retainer for Diesel After-treatment
Systems. Based on your performance requirements, existing flange profile and
gasket information, Clampco Engineering can also custom design a V-retainer
insert for your application.
9. Provide 3-d models when possible to identify clearance issues and also allow for pre-
bends in Strap applications to reduce take-up when tightening (reduced thread galling)
• Though it is not necessary, 3-d product models offer valuable information that
allows Clampco the best opportunity to offer the best design proposal at the lowest
cost.
Factors taken into consideration for New Product Dev. Cont’d
13. Mandated Global Emission Reduction initiatives, Improved Vehicle Durability/Extended
Warranty Period, Reduction in Fuel Consumption, coupled with Pressures to Reduce
Costs are all factors that continue to challenge Customers. Clampco has a long track
record of supporting our customers’ efforts to meet these challenges through Lean
Product Design/Development and VAVE Cost Reduction Activities.
By working directly with customer Development Engineering and Adv. Purchasing,
Clampco is able to assist with the design and development of custom clamps and
straps that will meet OEM performance requirements while minimizing cost impact.
Clampco offers in-house Rapid Prototyping services to support Customer R&D testing
to verify component and system performance. Our ability to provide fast prototypes is
critical for new product validation or system validation of engineering changes. Clampco
provides customers the ability to react quickly to product improvement requests from
your OEM customers.
Clampco distinguishes itself in the clamp industry with our ability to provide both low
volume prototype/production and high volume production quantities. This is important,
considering that any change in supplier may require additional R&D testing and
validation,, thus increasing cost and time to launch a new product or implement a
product improvement. By offering full support of advanced product design through
production manufacturing, Clampco helps our customers avoid costly delays with New
Product Integration.
