SS 201 Punch Lock Hose Clamps

The stainless steel punch lock hose clamps also called CV joint boot clamp, it is a critical, precision-engineered fastening component designed exclusively for securing the flexible rubber or thermoplastic boot (dust cover) onto the housing of a Constant Velocity (CV) joint in automotive drivetrains. Its primary function is to create a perfectly sealed, permanent, and tamper-proof enclosure that protects the internal joint from contamination and retains the special lubricating grease.

Design of punch lock hose clamps

Unlike standard hose clamps, CV boot clamps are defined by three non-negotiable requirements, reflected in their unique designs:

Absolute Sealing: Must prevent any ingress of water, dirt, road salt, or debris, which would rapidly destroy the CV joint.

Extreme Vibration Resistance: Must withstand the intense, constant vibrations from the drivetrain and road forces without loosening.

Tamper-Proof & Permanent Installation: Designed for one-time, tool-specific installation during servicing. They are not meant to be easily removed or reused, ensuring the seal remains intact for the life of the boot.

Key Advantages of punch lock hose clamps

Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel withstands road salt, water, and chemicals, preventing rust-induced failure that could compromise the seal.

High Tensile Strength: Withstands the extreme centrifugal forces and vibration encountered by a spinning CV joint.

Precision Manufacturing: Engineered to exact tolerances to ensure uniform radial pressure without weak points.

Reliability: When installed correctly with the proper tool, it provides a "fit-and-forget" level of security for the drivetrain.

Application of punch lock hose clamps

Primary Use: Securing inner and outer CV joint boots on front-wheel drive axles, rear axles of all-wheel drive vehicles, and drive shafts.

Installation is Paramount: Success is 100% dependent on correct installation using the designated professional tool (e.g., ear clamp pincer, band clamp tensioner). Improper installation with pliers or screwdrivers will lead to premature boot failure and joint damage.

Part of a System: Always used as part of a CV boot service kit, which includes the boot, new clamps, and the correct type/quantity of specialty grease.
