Worm gear clamps for pipes: types and advantages

Worm gear clamps are designed for sealing pipes and fastening the connections of various branch pipes. Products of this type are most in demand in mechanical engineering and construction, as well as when laying water and gas communications. Today you can buy a worm clamp in the Zetflex online store, which sells rubber and industrial products: hoses, camlocks and quick-release couplings. The range includes products of such world brands as SEL, LUDECKE, Semperit and Norma Group.



Types of worm clamps
The product is presented in the form of a narrow steel strip, the ends of which are connected using a special device. The design also includes a screw with a worm thread. Along its entire length, the tape has protrusions and notches located at the same distance. As soon as the screw turns, the tape begins to shrink gradually, thereby decreasing in diameter. Today there are several types of construction:

• power clamp is designed to fix reinforced pipes and can be used at high pressures, temperature drops and strong vibrations;
• a clamp with a screw is tightened by a screw that is turned with a screwdriver; the product is used to fasten pipes in the automotive industry;
• the model with a key is in many ways similar to the previous version, the only difference is that a special plastic key is mounted in place of the fixing screw.

The choice of design depends on the required volume, quality of work and operating conditions. For the production of worm-type clamps, stainless and galvanized steel are used - the materials are distinguished by increased wear resistance. Compared to galvanized steel, which has a service life of 25 years, stainless steel can last twice as long - 50 years.



Design advantages
When choosing the right product, you should rely on the dimensions and width of the tape - these indicators will help you understand for which hoses you can use a worm clamp. The wider the product is, the more massive pipes it can fix. Metal clamps with a worm-gear tightening mechanism have several advantages:

• high resistance to any stress (mechanical, static);
• mechanical strength and resistance to stretching, deformation;
• resistance to corrosion and long service life.
