For detailed information, please request the Technical Data Sheet for this OETIKER
product group. Send your sample parts and all relevant information for your specific
application to OETIKER, and you will receive our recommendation for product type,
diameter, and method of installation.
OETIKER Stepless® Low Profile Clamps have been specially developed
for applications where space or clearance is restricted. They have a low
installed height in the closure area, and can be supplied in very small
nominal diameter steps. They can be installed axially or radially, and are
also reusable – they can be repeatedly opened and reinstalled, e.g. in
the vehicle industry for service and maintenance work.
OETIKER Stepless® Low Profile Clamps do not have the same spring
properties as OETIKER Ear Clamps. Their sealing performance depends
mainly on the forces generated by compressing the elastic material of
the part being joined.
Stepless® Low Profile Clamps
With Type 1 Tolerance Compensation
OETIKER Stepless® Low Profile Clamps with Type 1 Tolerance Compensation
can accommodate small size variations that result from the tolerances
of parts being joined. The single, wave/shaped tolerance-compensation
element becomes effective when the end of the clamp strip cannot be
engaged, because the deviation in the size of the part that is to be
clamped is too great.
