Spring-loaded insert

The spring-loaded insert, fitted on a semi-circular support to the inside of the band, guarantees constant tension

The spring-loaded insert of a clamp is an essential component that ensures that the tightening torque and performance values remain constant, even in the face of variations in temperature, pressure or vibration. Attached to the band by a half-ring, this feature is essential to guarantee our clamps' efficiency and durability in multiple applications.

 

What is the function of spring-loaded clamps

The spring-loaded insert is a mechanism that allows the clamp to adapt to changing operating conditions, such as variations in temperature and pressure, as well as constant vibration. This is achieved by maintaining a constant tension which prevents loss of grip and ensures tightness at all times.

 

Applications for spring-loaded clamps

Spring-loaded clamps, such as the ASFA L Constant Tension Hose Clamp (9mm), are particularly popular in the automotive industry. They are used on hoses carrying hot air or on engine cooling hoses.


These applications are critical because these hoses can experience contraction or expansion from their original diameter due to temperature changes.

 

Benefits of spring-loaded clamps

  • Consistent Performance: Maintain consistent tightening torque to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
  • Adaptability: Adjusts to changes in hose diameter, preventing sealing problems caused by contraction or expansion.
  • Durability: Extends the life of connections by minimising wear caused by vibration and temperature changes.

 

The ideal choice for the automotive industry

In the automotive industry, the spring-loaded clamps are essential to ensure the optimum functioning of hot air and cooling systems. Mikalor's ASFA S Constant Tension Hose Clamp (12mm) is characterised by its ability to maintain constant tightness, ensuring reliability and safety under all operating conditions.
