Utilizing The V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp in the Hydraulic Sector

V-BAT Pipe Clamp with Bolt

Hydraulic systems are crucial in various industrial applications, providing the required pressure to perform heavy-duty tasks efficiently. Ensuring these systems' stability and reliability often requires robust components, including secure fastening solutions for pipes, hoses, and connections. Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp, available from Uniclamp USA, offers a versatile and reliable option for such needs. Here’s an in-depth look at how a hydraulic system can utilize Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp.


The V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp:

V-BAT Pipe Clamp as hanger and surface clamp

Our Unique V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp is manufactured using 30% glass-reinforced nylon 6.6, which is completely waterproof. It has exceptional durability, high resistance, and strength in harsh industrial environments. Our Pipe Clamp’s design and material properties make it suitable for various applications, including hydraulic systems.


Key Features and Benefits:


Versatility:


The one-size-fits-all V-BAT™ pipe clamp works on several pipe diameters, from 3/8" to 5", eliminating the need for many clamp sizes, thus simplifying inventory management.  In addition, it applies to flat surfaces, is a versatile vertical hanger, and is used as a spacer, and a unistrut clamp, providing installation flexibility. Our V-BAT™ pipe clamps UV exposure durability ensures a long lifespan of 15-20 years, even in harsh outdoor environments.


For more information on how to use Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp in a unistrut check out our blog.


Chemical exposure:


Acid resistant and 95% to most common chemicals guarantee no deterioration of our clamps when directly exposed to hydraulic oil.


Temperature resistant:

The maximum exposure temperature of 572 degrees Fahrenheit permits our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp to be safely used in the temperature range of 80°F to 180°F, the operating temperature of hydraulic systems.

 

Ease of Installation:


Time is money in any industry. Compatible with Hilti guns for quick and efficient installation, demonstrating the V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp robustness, showing no signs of cracks, shattering, or weakening, highlighting its suitability for heavy-duty use​. A Socket wrench or ratchet is another option to ensure an easy installation of the V-BAT™ pipe clamp, thus presenting an easy way of quick installations and cutting labor costs. 


Cost-Effective:


Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp is priced at $2.20 per unit when purchased in bulk, offering significant savings. With its robust build and ease of installation, Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional metal pipe clamps, reducing labor costs and the need for additional tools. Over time, Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp has a 15-20 years UV lifespan reducing maintenance and replacement costs and offering long-term financial and labor cost benefits to businesses, with no performance compromise.


Application in Hydraulic Systems. 


For hydraulic systems to remain intact, their connections must be leak-proof and stable in their structure. The “V” shape of the V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp allows for its suitability in securing hydraulic pipes and hoses, using nylon/stainless steel ties or hose clamps.

  • Nylon ties provide 175 lb strength
  • Stainless ties provide 200 lb strength

Securing Hydraulic Hoses:  


Hydraulic hoses are essential for fluid transmission in hydraulic systems. Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp secures these hoses, preventing leaks, and ensuring stable and firm connections, adding to the integrity of the installation. This involves withstanding severe conditions, being completely non-corrosive, and being resistant to high temperatures and chemicals that guarantee Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp can handle the demands of hydraulic systems.


Utilizing the V-BAT™ pipe clamp in a hydraulic system: 


Hydraulic pipes must consistently receive vigorous and robust support to prevent breaking alignment and sustaining material failure due to sagging or movement. Our V-BAT™ Pipe clamp boasts a solid high shear tensile strength of 1100 lbs to withstand extreme environments and exposure including high-pressure conditions, such as industrial hydraulic systems operating at pressures between 1,500 to 3,000 psi.


Vibration and Noise Reduction: 


Most vibrations in hydraulic systems are generated from kinetic production and transmission. This may lead to noise and potential damage. Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp helps cushion such vibrations, hence less noise and wearing of parts in the system reducing costly replacements and unplanned downtime.


Ease of Maintenance: 


Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp simplifies maintenance. Technicians could easily access pipes, hoses, connections, and components for inspection or replacement with the most minor system downtimes possible. 


Safety: 


The strong clamping force of Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp ensures that pipes and hoses are securely joined, thus eliminating the possibility of accidental disconnection or leakage. The robust construction of Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp ensures that connections are not liable to fail even in extreme conditions providing peace of mind to companies. 

Understanding accidental and uncontrolled disconnection of hoses or pipes could result in intensive damage to structures and buildings and severe injuries to personnel caused by extreme pressure release. In addition, hydraulic oil contains additives that are toxic to humans and wildlife and result in environmental damage.


Case Studies and Testimonials 


Our V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp has proven tremendously successful across various industries. 

Several industries have reported significant benefits from using the V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp in their systems:
