DualSlide Technology: to mitigate friction during closing
Narrow band: concentrates transmission of clamping force, less weight
StepLess® over 360°: uniform compression or uniform surface pressure
Burr-free strip edges: reduced risk of damage to parts being clamped

FEATURES

Medical Standard

StepLess® Ear Clamps – Dual Slide 167 uses DualSlide technology to reduce friction during closing. This new technology is designed to be used in an unlubricated setting, which ensures a smooth closure after a clamp has been degreased or cleaned.

Our products have shown through years of industry use that they can physically withstand standard sterilization processes (autoclave, gamma, X ray). All customers are responsible for evaluating this fit for use for their applications.

Material thickness

StepLess® Ear Clamps are produced in nominal widths and thicknesses. The selected material dimensions for a specific application are based on the stress required to obtain an adequate seal or load.

Block closure

Block closure means that, during the applied closing force, both ear shanks of one ear clamp touch each other. The closing force applied after the occurrence of block closure is absorbed by the block closure and not transferred to the parts being clamped. If a statement about the effective closing force acting on the parts being clamped during closure is required, a block closure should be avoided.

Mechanical interlock

The interlock is a mechanical system for joining the clamp ends to permit closure. Some interlock designs can be opened for radial installation prior to closure.
