OETIKER
One Ear Clip with Insert

This type of clamp combines the geometry and properties of the 1-Ear Clip, with an insert made of stainless steel creating an effective and powerful all-round seal.

These clamps are ideal for demanding applications involving soft or hard rubbers and plastics. The thin-walled insert ring (up to 0.3 mm thick), with an oval protrusion that locates in the ear space, bridges the ear gap and ensures almost uniform compression around the whole circumference of a clamp. Burrs generated during the shearing and forming processes are entirely eliminated in a barrel-finishing operation.

Using tools designed or endorsed 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. 

Important: Single tool stroke closure only, do not apply secondary crimping force.
