Skruvbandklämmor

Skruvbandklämmor, commonly referred to as hose clamps or jubilee clips, are a type of clamp used to attach flexible hoses to a fitting, such as a pipe or a spigot. They work by encircling the hose and the fitting, and a screw mechanism is tightened to reduce the diameter of the clamp, thereby securing the hose.

The typical construction of a skruvbandklämma involves a metal band, often made of stainless steel or galvanized steel, with a series of perforations or teeth along its length. A screw mechanism, usually a worm gear driven by a slotted head screw, engages with these perforations. As the screw is turned, it pulls the band tighter around the hose and fitting. The width and thickness of the band vary depending on the intended application and the pressure it needs to withstand.

Skruvbandklämmor are widely used in automotive applications, plumbing, industrial machinery, and even in domestic settings for securing hoses for water, air, or fuel. They are favored for their adjustability, allowing for a precise fit on hoses of slightly different diameters. The effectiveness of a skruvbandklämma relies on its ability to create a consistent and even pressure around the hose, preventing leaks. Proper installation is crucial, as overtightening can damage the hose, while undertightening can lead to a compromised seal. There are various types of skruvbandklämmor available, including worm-drive, T-bolt, and spring clamps, each suited for specific pressure and environmental conditions.
