Stainless Steel Gear Clamps British Type Clamps

The British Type Stainless Steel Gear Clamps are classic, versatile, and widely used clamping solution renowned for its reliability, ease of use, and effective performance. it has become the generic standard for a vast range of applications across industries and households.Its "British type" designation typically refers to the traditional design featuring a rolled, perforated band and a stamped saddle housing, which distinguishes it from other worm-drive variants.

Key Features of stainless steel gear clamps

Stainless Steel Construction: This is its most critical feature. It is almost exclusively manufactured from AISI 304 (18-8) stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. This makes it suitable for demanding environments, including:

Automotive cooling systems

Marine applications

Plumbing and water systems

Outdoor and exposed equipment

Food and beverage processing (where hygiene is important)

Rolled Perforated Band: The band is made from a strip of stainless steel that is rolled to form a smooth, rounded inner surface. This design prevents it from cutting into the hose material. The band is perforated with precisely spaced grooves.

Stamped Saddle and Worm Screw: A stamped steel saddle (or housing) encapsulates a hexagonal-head worm screw. As the screw is turned with a screwdriver or wrench, it engages with the grooves on the band, pulling the band through the saddle to tighten the loop.

"British Type" Specifics: The classic British design often has a slightly more rounded, robust-looking saddle compared to some other designs. The focus is on functional reliability and cost-effective mass production.

Advantages of stainless steel gear clamps

Excellent Corrosion Resistance: The use of 304 stainless steel ensures long-term durability and prevents failure due to rust, a common problem with carbon steel clamps.

Wide Range of Sizes: Available in an extensive range of diameters, from very small (e.g., 8mm) to very large (over 200mm), to fit almost any hose imaginable.

Uniform Pressure Distribution: The flexible, rolled band applies a consistent 360-degree clamping force around the hose, creating a secure and leak-proof seal.

Ease of Installation and Adjustment: It can be easily tightened, loosened, and reused with simple tools. A screwdriver is the primary tool, though a wrench can be used on the hex head for extra torque.

Cost-Effective and Readily Available: As a global standard, these clamps are inexpensive and can be sourced from almost any hardware or automotive store.
