Clamp connection

Industrial clamps are used to create secure points of attachment between various parts to ensure solid connections and proper function in the working environment. Understanding the various types of clamps and their uses can help you make the right choices for your industrial and construction project needs.

Clamps are used to connect a wide range of items in the metal manufacturing industry. Here are some of the most popular types of industrial clamps and their preferred uses:

• Strap clamps offer high-tensile strength and can accommodate a wide range of configurations and sizes, allowing manufacturers and construction teams to ensure reliable hold even for irregularly shaped items.
• Full circle clamps are most commonly used to connect pipes or to hold items in place during repairs. These clamps are available in a range of materials, some of which can be used in areas with significant moisture or corrosive potential.
• Half and full V-band clamps offer superior flexibility for machinery that must be regularly disassembled and reassembled for maintenance purposes. These clamps are designed specifically for flanged joints and ensure the most reliable hold for these connections.
• U-clamps or U-bolts are typically used to secure or support pipes, especially those designed to convey fluids or gases under pressure.
• Channel clamps perform similar functions as U-clamps and typically are designed specifically to fit around conduits and pipes of various sizes.
