STAUFF has launched two lines of tube
and pipe clamps for XXL applications. Pipe
clamps in the ‘heavy’ series to DIN 3015
are intended for securing tubes and pipes
with outside diameters of up to 406mm. The
clamp bodies and fastening components
can be configured to suit the individual
application. The user can select between
various clamp body materials as well as
different mounting and fastening techniques.
One advantage of the ‘heavy’ series is that its
design and recess shape ensure a very high
retention force.
The engineering class is worth considering
when the pipes to be fastened have a
diameter of up to 800mm. These clamps
consist of two U-shaped welded structures,
plastic jaws for holding the pipe, and two
M30 bolts for tensioning. The clamps are
available in types KS (standard), DKS for
extra heavy pipes (two KS clamps welded in
tandem), as well as KSV and DKSV (anchor-
bolt fastening).
The clamp is made of primed steel St37,
which can be hot-dip galvanised on request.
Sales engineer Frank Schröder: “Because
these are standard clamps made of steel,
the components in the KS series can, in
principle, have extremely large dimensions.
Once, for instance, we supplied clamps for
pipes with a diameter of more than one
metre”.
