Trident Marine Stainless Steel Constant Torque Clamp 5/8" Band, Hose I.D. - 8", Hose O.D. - 8.25 to 9.125 [730-8000]

Stainless Steel Constant Torque Clamp 5/8" Band, Hose I.D. - 8", Hose O.D. - 8.25” to 9.125”Virtually all rubber hose compresses (cold flow) after installation of clamping device, resulting in an almost immediate torque loss that can exceed 80% of installation torque. Similarly, virtually all metal connections expand as a system heats up, and then contracts as the system cools. Conventional worm gear, T-bolt, and other clamps are passive, in that expansion or contraction of components cannot be compensated for with out re-tightening or loosening the clamps. This clamping system is an “active” clamping mechanism, which monitors and then compensates for the changes by actually changing diameter through a unique worm gear Belleville assembly.Specifications: Hose I.D. - 8", Hose O.D. - 8.25” to 9.125” Recommend max. torque - smaller id. sizes up to 730-3000 - 30 to 70 in.-lbs, larger id. sizes above 730-3000 - 50 to 120 in.-lbs Construction: Band & Housing: 304 Stainless Steel 5/8” Wide Band Bellville Spring Washers & Screw: 401 Stainless Steel
