Protex extends ex-stock stainless bandclamp range
Protex Fasteners has extended its range of ex-stock stainless steel bandclamps to include components from 24mm to 615mm diameter. Grip diameters up to 45mm are accommodated by Protex type 61-1750-PBC-SS platform bandclamps, whose ten model range incorporates a triangular platform for the latch to be closed against. This feature optimises the fastener"s geometry during closing, avoiding the need for excessive operating pressure and/or the subsequent relaxation of grip as the latch mechanism goes over-centre of small diameter parts. In addition, all platform bandclamp variants incorporate a safety catch that prevents inadvertent opening, even under severe shock or vibratory loads.
Comprising eight models, Protex"s 27-HT-SS series bandclamps have been designed for use with components from 70mm to 375mm. In parallel, the company"s nine-strong range of high torque, heavy duty bandclamps will secure components from 250mm to 615mm and provide a maximum grip strength of 450kgf. Both of these stainless steel ranges incorporate a worm drive adjustment that accommodates variations of up to 45mm in component diameter.
