The threaded profile provides strength and secu-
rity. The design of the band thread contributes
to make the clamp vibration-proof.
Aluzinc
Our standard bands are made of an Aluzinc material, which
provides roughly three times better corrosion protection
than traditional galvanization. An Aluzinc band, in conjunction
with our product design, provides the optimum clamping
force.

The highly general ABA Nova clamp is the ideal choice for smaller dimensions of
hoses. The worm gear housing is manufactured in a closely monitored automat-
ic resistance welding process. The base of the housing is cut back and the inter-
nal tolerances are very close: a few hundredths of a millimetre. It is available for a
wide range of hose dimensions and retains its roundness and sealing qualities
even on the smallest of hoses.
ABA Nova Standard: Screw: Electro zinc plated. Band: Pre-electro zinc plated.
Housing: Painted.
ABA Nova Stainless: All parts are made of SS 2333/AISI 304 stainless steel.
ABA Nova Acid Resistant: All parts are made of SS 2343/AISI 316 stainless steel.

with nearly all its original power intact under the band. Fig. 3 When the clamp is

minimized, as shown in Fig. 4. Radial also compensates for the rubber not hav-

The Exhaust Pipe Clamp was originally designed in collaboration with the automo-
tive industry to provide a high and even tightening force around the entire pipe,
minimize leakage and be vibration-proof. The wide range of standard clamps cov-
ers most vehicles.
Self-locking screw is standard on 2.0 and 2.5 gauge clamps and facilitates
quick and easy tightening with one hand. 1.5 mm and 3 mm are supplied with
hexagonal screws. Clamps of size R 71 and larger are not kept in stock.
