Worm gear hose clamps also called worm drive hose clamps, worm drive hose clips.
I. Features of American-Style Hose Clamps
Workers use these clamps to secure connections between flexible and rigid pipes. Unlike traditional clamps that create dead angles and cause leaks in small pipes, the American-style design incorporates an open-ended inner/outer ring structure. Mechanics tighten these clamps with bolts. This innovative design completely eliminates dead angles and stops leaks in small pipe connections. Industries widely use these clamps in automotive, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing applications.
II. Key Characteristics of American-Style Hose Clamps
The worm gear mechanism reduces friction, making these clamps ideal for high-end vehicles or corrosion-resistant material connections. With broad applicability, they offer excellent torsional resistance, pressure tolerance, and balanced torque distribution. The locking mechanism is secure, airtight, and adjustable, making them suitable for securing pipes over 30mm in diameter. Additionally, they provide a clean, aesthetically pleasing appearance after installation.
III. Functions of American-Style Hose Clamps
As essential fasteners for flexible and rigid pipe connections, these clamps solve the common issues of dead angles and fluid/gas leaks in small-diameter pipes. Their open-ended inner and outer ring design, secured by bolts, ensures a tight seal while maintaining simplicity and cost-efficiency—production costs are only 30% of traditional clamps. Due to their reliability, they are widely used in automotive, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, wastewater treatment, air purification, and automotive accessory applications.
