1 ConnectFormed in 1998 following the merger oftwo well established and highly regardedclamp manufacturers, Smith & Johnsonand Connectors Ltd, Teconnex , part ofthe Hexadex group of companies, is the leading European manufacturer ofspecialist V , Ring, band and modern premises and well plannedmanufacturing facilities, Teconnex hasthe capability and capacity to meet thedemands of customers around theworld. Over 50% of production markets for Teconnex productsinclude: Engine and Vehiclemanufacture, Marine, Chemical,Petrochemical, Oil and Gas Production,Pharmaceutical, Food and Beverage,Water Treatment, Aerospace and PowerSystems. The company supplies clampsto all of these and many other industriesand can custom design to specificapplication requirements assured at every stageAlthough clamps are often a small andinexpensive part of the overall equipmentpackage within which they are included,their functionality and reliability areparamount to the performance of thesystem as a whole.

2 For this reason, Teconnex operates a stringent qualitysystem, which ensures quality is built in at every stage of design Aided Design and databasetechniques are used to ensure thateffective and efficient designs aregenerated. Where necessary, FiniteElement Analysis (FEA) techniques can be applied to optimise clamp design,prior to prototype design verification using comprehensive in-house design completion, design and manufacturing details are enteredinto the integrated business system andcustomer requirements are added togenerate materials and materials used by Teconnex arecertified and manufacturing quality ismonitored throughout using acombination of in-process and finalinspection is accredited to holds a number of second partymanufacturing approvals from animpressive, world class customer band ClampsV band Clamps are used to pull togetherand connect two circular flanges. Theresulting joint is much lighter, easier to fitand maintain and requires less spacethan a joint using bolted flanges.

3 Due totheir ability to wrap around the flangeprofile, V band Clamps give a moreconsistent axial load to the joint than arigid cast clamp for improved sealing. By taking advantage of the wide choiceof clamp designs and closingmechanisms, V band Clamps canfunction reliably and safely underconditions involving stress, vibration,corrosion and temperature has an extensive range ofclamp profiles and manufactures V BandClamps from 35mm to 3 metre diameterand ClampsOriginally developed as a cost-effectiveclamp solution for connectingautomotive turbocharger casings, RingClamps are now used in many differentapplications. They offer similar benefitsto V band Clamps over other methodsof connection and can be moreeconomical both in terms of materialsand methods of manufacture. Due totheir inherent stiffness, they are notsuitable where frequent decoupling isrequired or in diameters below ClampsBand Clamps are used for clampingtogether two push-fit include clamping flexiblehoses to solid pipes, connectingsections of exhaust systems andbundling securely together groups ofpipes.

4 Teconnex band Clamps are of a T-bolt design that offers greaterstrength and a reduction in componentdamage often associated with wormdrive ClampsThe generic term Pressed clamp isafforded to a range of clamps producedon an engineer-to-order basis byTeconnex. Each clamp is designed to a specific customer applicationrequirement and generally requiresspecial manufacturing tooling. The resultis a clamp that is extremely costeffective per individual component oncetooling costs have been has extensive applicationknowledge and Pressed clamp designexperience. Concept designs and pricescan be quickly generated. TypicalPressed clamp styles include DoubleBolted, G Coupling, Hinged and Flexi-ring clamp Duty and Hygienic ClampsThe Teconnex range of Heavy Duty andHygienic Clamps are manufactured fromheavy V section materials with sealwelded solid lugs. This results in aproduct which is suitable for food,beverage and pharmaceuticalapplications and provides extra strengthfor high pressure or high piping loadapplications.

5 Teconnex offers the HeavyDuty and Hygienic clamp range with anumber of different closure mechanisms,including the patented safety toggle leverfor use on pressurised vessels. This safety feature prevents the inadvertent full opening of the clamp until pressure has been are a range of generalpurpose pipe connectors that enableapproximate lengths of otherwiseunfinished piping to be coupled togetherwith the aid of just a in electro-plated mildsteel, these couplings can be equippedwith seals in a range of materials suitablefor coolant, mild chemical and elevatedtemperature (to 150 C) compact size and flexible radialpositioning makes them ideal forconfined and inaccessible major benefit of Flexi-Joints istheir ability to attenuate the transmission of vibration and noise along piping and stylesTeconnex clamps are offered in variousranges and styles to suit virtually anyapplication. Closure mechanismsinclude conventional bolted, single andmulti T-bolt, loop couplers for quickdisengagement of the bolt and togglelevers.

6 Teconnex has a large number of V sections to cover a wide range ofdiameters and applications. qualityTeconnex has a foundation built on the capability and pedigree of twoworld players in the fabricated clampindustry.
