Product catalog summary
Overview: This technical data sheet provides detailed information on Oetiker's adjustable clamps from Product Groups 109, 159, and 163. These clamps are designed for various applications, offering different materials, sizes, and interlock mechanisms to suit specific needs.
Specifications:
  • Materials: PG 109 uses zinc-plated steel, while PG 159 and 163 use stainless steel (Material no. 1.4301/UNS S30400).
  • Corrosion Resistance: PG 109 withstands ≥ 96 hours, PG 159 and 163 ≥ 1000 hours according to DIN EN ISO 9227.
  • Size Ranges: PG 109 ranges from 29.5 to 122.0 mm in width, PG 159 from 25.0 to 110.0 mm, and PG 163 from 30.0 to 132.0 mm.
Design Features:
  • Adjustable clamps with interlock options inside or outside for ease of installation.
  • Radial guiding for self-aligning design, ensuring effective sealing.
  • Burr-free strip edges to minimize damage risk.
Installation Procedures:
  • Clamps should be pre-shaped and engaged at mid-diameter for PG 109, while PG 159 clamps are supplied flat and must be shaped before assembly.
  • Use Oetiker tools for closing the clamp ear, ensuring a uniform tensile force.
  • Electronically controlled pneumatic tools are recommended for process monitoring and data collection.
Recommendations:
  • Functional tests with several assemblies are recommended to ensure optimal clamp selection.
  • Single tool stroke closure is advised to avoid secondary crimping force.
Order Information: Detailed item numbers and size ranges are provided for each product group, with specific dimensions and adjustment positions.
Contact Information: The document lists contact details for Oetiker's offices worldwide, including headquarters in Switzerland and branches in countries like the USA, Germany, and China.

Adjustable Clamps-3

Clamp ear (closing element) Using tools designed by Oetiker, the clamp is closed by drawing together the lower radii of the “ear”. The maximum diameter reduction is proportional to the open “ear” width (s). The theoretical maximum reduction in diameter is given by the formula: Ear width (s) Max. diameter reduction = π Multi-position interlock The interlock consists of one or two load-retaining hooks that withstand tensile loading during closure and a lock tab designed to hold the hooks in their windows prior to closure. With both designs the interlock can be engaged in several positions within...
