Center Punch Clamps

Center Punch Clamps are a robust and tamper-proof solution for securing hoses and tubes, particularly in applications where a permanent and vibration-resistant seal is critical. These clamps utilize a unique center punch locking mechanism, created with a specialized tool, to deform the overlapping bands and create an exceptionally strong and irreversible connection. Their design ensures a tight, 360-degree seal, making them suitable for demanding applications where leakage and loosening are significant concerns.  

Features

• Provides a permanent and tamper-proof hose or tube connection.
• Offers excellent resistance to vibration and shock.
• Creates a 360-degree seal for reliable leak prevention.
• Constructed from durable materials, often stainless steel, for corrosion resistance.
• Low profile design minimizes obstruction.
• Can be used in a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial, and agricultural.
• Offers high clamping force once properly installed.
• Relatively lightweight compared to some other heavy-duty clamping solutions.
• Can be applied quickly with the correct center punch tool.
• Offers a secure fastening solution for critical fluid and air transfer systems.

Technical Data

• Material Options: Typically Stainless Steel (Grades 201, 304, or 316) or Galvanized Steel
• Band Width Options: Commonly available in widths such as 9.5mm (3/8"),  16.0mm (5/8")
• Band Thickness: Varies depending on the material and width (e.g., 0.5mm to 0.8mm)
• Clamp Diameter Range: Designed to fit specific hose outer diameters or ranges, varying widely by clamp size
• Material Tensile Strength: Dependent on the material grade and dimensions 
• Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized Steel: Offers moderate corrosion resistance; Stainless Steel: Offers good to excellent corrosion resistance depending on the grade.
• Vibration Resistance: High due to the permanent, mechanically locked connection.
• Temperature Range: Dependent on the material used (e.g., Stainless Steel offers a broader range than galvanized steel). Refer to specific material properties.
• Installation Tool Required: Center Punch Clamp Tool (specific to the clamp type and size)
• Typical Applications: Automotive hoses (fuel, coolant, vacuum lines), industrial hoses, agricultural equipment, hydraulic lines (low pressure), irrigation systems.
• Locking Mechanism: Deformation of the overlapping bands using a center punch tool.
