Stainless Steel Constant Torque Clamp 5/8" Band, Hose I.D. - 1" to 1-1/8", Hose O.D. - 1" to 1.75"
Virtually all rubber hose compresses (cold flow) after installation of clamping device, resulting in an almost immediate torque loss that can exceed 80% of installation torque. Similarly, virtually all metal connections expand as a system heats up, and then contracts as the system cools. Conventional worm gear, T-bolt, and other clamps are passive, in that expansion or contraction of components cannot be compensated for with out re-tightening or loosening the clamps. This clamping system is an “active” clamping mechanism, which monitors and then compensates for the changes by actually changing diameter through a unique worm gear Belleville assembly.

Construction:
The Trident Marine Stainless Steel Constant Torque Clamp (part number 730-1000) is designed for maintaining consistent clamping force on hose connections in marine and industrial applications. This active clamping mechanism addresses common issues associated with rubber hose cold flow and thermal expansion/contraction in system components. Unlike passive clamping devices, this unit utilizes a unique worm gear Belleville assembly to automatically adjust its diameter, compensating for changes in hose and connection dimensions without requiring manual re-tightening. It is suitable for hoses with an inner diameter ranging from 1" to 1-1/8" and an outer diameter from 1" to 1.75". Constructed from 304 and 401 stainless steel, this clamp is intended for IT and operations professionals seeking a reliable solution for preventing torque loss and ensuring secure, leak-free connections in demanding environments.
This clamp is designed for hoses with an inner diameter of 1" to 1-1/8" and an outer diameter of 1" to 1.75".
The constant torque feature addresses torque loss caused by rubber hose compression (cold flow) and the expansion/contraction of metal connections due to temperature changes. It actively adjusts to maintain consistent clamping force.
The band and housing are made from 304 stainless steel with a 5/8" wide band. The Belleville spring washers and screw are constructed from 401 stainless steel.
For this clamp, which falls into the smaller ID size category, the recommended maximum torque is between 30 to 70 inch-pounds.
