Mika Clamp
1 / 5
We manufacture this clamp for systems where temperature changes and vibration make ordinary clamps loosen up. The key is a disc spring stack made of SS301. When you tighten the screw, the spring stack compresses. If the hose expands or shrinks, or if the rubber takes a set over time, the spring stack pushes back to keep the band tension nearly constant. That means you don’t have to re-tighten as often, and the seal stays reliable longer.
SS304 stainless steel – good corrosion resistance, standard for most industrial environments.
SS410 stainless steel. Harder martensitic grade than SS304. Resists thread galling, especially under repeated torque.
SS301 steel with high yield strength. Returned to >99% height in 8 N·m compression tests, securing reliable compensation.
Fixed to the band with four rivets. Destructive torque limit consistently exceeds 25 N·m, preventing slippage under high vibration.

There’s a liner inside the band. It does two things: it protects the hose surface from abrasion, and it spreads the clamping force more evenly around the circumference. That helps avoid localized pinching and gives a more uniform seal.
A normal clamp gives a fixed circumference – if the hose softens or shrinks, the tension drops. This one adjusts internally through the spring stack. The initial installation is the same – you just torque the screw to your specified value. From then on, the clamp maintains the force by itself, within the working range of the spring.
We’ve seen users cut maintenance intervals in half simply by switching to this type. It’s not a fancy gadget; it’s a mechanical fix for a physical problem – thermal movement and material creep.
The clamp contains a disc spring stack made of SS301. When you tighten the screw, this spring stack compresses. As the hose expands or shrinks due to thermal changes, or if the rubber takes a set over time, the spring stack automatically pushes back to maintain a nearly constant band tension.
The band, housing, and end cover are constructed from SS304 stainless steel for robust corrosion resistance. The screw is made of SS410 stainless steel for higher hardness and thread galling resistance. The disc spring stack is made of SS301 stainless steel to achieve higher yield strength.
The inner liner provides two main benefits: it protects the hose surface from abrasion caused by movement, and it distributes the clamping force more evenly around the circumference to prevent localized pinching and ensure a uniform seal.
Yes. The housing is secured to the band using four rivets. Destructive torque testing shows that the point where the housing starts to twist consistently exceeds 25 N·m, which is significantly higher than standard clamps, allowing them to handle intense vibration without slipping.
They are widely used in heavy truck engine cooling and turbo lines, hydraulic oil return lines in construction equipment, pipe joints in water treatment plants, fuel and air lines on marine engines, and general fluid transfer applications experiencing pressure fluctuations.
No. The installation process is the same as a normal clamp. You simply torque the screw to your specified torque value. Once installed, the internal spring stack manages and maintains the required clamping force automatically.
