High Torque Hose Clamps

High Torque American Type Hose Clamps are engineered for applications demanding superior clamping force and reliable sealing. Building upon the standard American worm-drive design, these clamps incorporate enhanced features and robust construction to provide significantly increased torque capability. This ensures a tighter, more secure grip on hoses and pipes, particularly in high-pressure, high-vibration, or temperature-fluctuating environments. Ideal for automotive, industrial, heavy equipment, and marine applications where a strong and leak-proof seal is critical.  

Features

• Enhanced worm drive mechanism designed for increased torque capacity.
• Wider band design to distribute clamping force more evenly.
• Thicker band material for increased strength and durability.
• Deeper or more aggressive screw threads for improved engagement and tightening.
• May feature a reinforced or buttress screw design to withstand higher torque.
• Often constructed from high-grade stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance.
• Smooth band undersides to minimize hose damage while maximizing grip.
• Available in a range of sizes to accommodate various hose and pipe diameters.
• Easy to install using standard screwdriver or nut driver tools.
• Provides a reliable seal under demanding operating conditions.

Technical Data

• Material Options: Typically Stainless Steel (various grades like 304, 316), Carbon Steel (zinc-plated or other coatings)
• Band Width: Commonly available in widths such as 12.7mm (1/2"), 14.2mm (9/16"), 15.8mm (5/8")
• Band Thickness: Typically ranging from 0.7mm to 1.0mm
• Screw Type: Standard slotted, Phillips, or hex head; may feature reinforced or buttress threads
• Maximum Recommended Torque: Varies significantly by size and design (examples: 8 Nm, 12 Nm, 15 Nm - refer to specific product specifications)
• Clamping Diameter Range: Specified for each clamp size (e.g., 25mm - 51mm, 51mm - 76mm)
• Corrosion Resistance: Stainless Steel: Excellent resistance to rust, oxidation, and many chemicals (grade dependent); Carbon Steel (coated): Offers moderate corrosion resistance depending on the coating.
• Operating Temperature Range: Dependent on the material used (e.g., Stainless Steel can withstand a wider range). Refer to specific material properties.
• Breakaway Torque: The torque at which the clamp may fail (significantly higher than recommended torque).
• Application Torque: The recommended torque for achieving a secure and leak-proof seal without damaging the hose or clamp.
• Standards Compliance: Meet SAE J536 or other relevant industry standards.
