New: Plastic tube clamps

Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, variably configurable and precise: High performance tube clamps are indispensable in machine or plant engineering without them. INOCON is now adding connectors made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic in its product range.

Tube clamps are universally usable connecting elements for tube-based constructions, most people think of parts made of metal. As a rule, these are actually made of stainless steel investment castings or die-cast aluminum. But there is no rule without an exception: INOCON now offers tube clamps in a wide range of different configuration made of glass fiber-reinforced polyamide.

These connectors can withstand temperatures up to 100 °C are suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is required, where weight must be reduced or where the visual effect is important. Because the plastic connectors are appealing thanks to their exceptionally smooth and matte surfaces and their colorfulness. In addition to classic black (RAL 9005), they are also available in elegant gray (RAL 7040).

All versions share the same dimensional accuracy and high-quality manufacturing. In other words, the plastic versions should not be understood as cheap alternatives but rather as high-end solutions with defined load capacities. Depending on the tightening torque of the fittings, INOCON lists the extraction force, the radial torsional moment and the rotation moment if an articulated axis is present. The connectors are designed such that they fully encompass typical construction tubes to create a nonpositive clamping connection. The tubes are fixed in place with socket cap screws and nuts of stainless steel or with adjustable hand levers (HSK.P).

These are specially adapted to the plastic and are particularly useful when the tube constructions have to be modifieded frequently or without tools.

INOCON offers the plastic tube clamps as cross, flanged, base, T-angle, sleeve, swivel as well as joint connectors in the most important dimensions. This means that nothing stands in the way of implementing the most individual designs. And if other tube diameters are required other tube diameters are required, then specially ribbed adapter bushings (RSB.P), also made of polyamide, can be used.
