Stainless Steel C Clamps

Stainless Steel C Clamps Description

CVSIC C-Type Clamp (also known as Stainless Steel C-Clip or Connection Clip) is a specialized accessory for silicon carbide (SiC) heating elements made from premium heat-resistant spring steel.

With its corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and rust-proof properties, as well as quick and straightforward setup, the C-Type clamp, paired with an expansion tool, is ideal for tight spaces. It securely fastens aluminum braid to the SiC element’s cold end, ensuring dependable connections for industrial heating in high-temperature furnaces, electronic semiconductors, lithium batteries, ceramics, and powder metallurgy. It works seamlessly with H-type and G-type clamps, providing a versatile heating solution.

Ordering Information

When ordering C-Type Clamps, please provide the following parameters:

• SiC Element Diameter: 8-65mm
• Example: C-Type clamp, for 18mm diameter SiC element, denoted as: C-Type/18mm

Note: Customizable clamp specifications to ensure a perfect match with SiC elements.

Stainless Steel C Clamps Connection Method

• Installation Position: The C-type clamp secures the aluminum braid to the cold end of the SiC heating element, ensuring a snug fit.
• Connection Method:
  1. Place the aluminum braid on the SiC element’s aluminum-coated cold end.
  2. Use an expansion tool to compress the C-Type clamp around the cold end, securing the braid with screws for stability.
  3. Check the clamp’s marked diameter against the SiC element; the expansion tool handle includes a part number for easy identification.
  4. Ensure connection end voltage <0.01V for efficient power delivery.
• Note: Avoid over-compression to prevent damage to the SiC element; re-tighten screws after 2-3 hours of operation to address thermal relaxation. Use an SCR voltage regulator (a temperature control device) for optimal performance.

Stainless Steel C Clamps Installation Method

To ensure the performance and safety of C-Type Clamps, follow these steps:

1. Inspect Accessories: Verify the clamp and expansion tool are undamaged, ensuring the clamp’s diameter marking and tool part number match the SiC element.
2. Secure Aluminum Braid: Place the aluminum braid on the aluminum-coated cold end, compress the C-Type clamp with the expansion tool, and secure it with screws.
3. Check Stability: Ensure the clamp is neither loose nor over-compressed to prevent damage to the SiC element.
4. Power Connection: Pair with an aluminum braid for a secure power connection, ensuring solid contact.
5. Maintenance Check: After 2-3 hours of furnace operation, re-check clamp and screw tightness to prevent thermal relaxation.
6. Note: Professionals should perform the installation. Contact us for detailed guidance.

Stainless Steel C Clamps Design Recommendations

• Match Element Diameter: Choose a C-Type clamp matching the SiC heating element’s cold end diameter (8-65mm), verifying the marked number.
• Installation Space: C-type clamps are ideal for tight spaces, ensuring the environment supports the expansion tool.
• Installation Force: Avoid over-compression to keep the clamp secure without harming the SiC element.
• Temperature Control System: Pair with an SCR voltage regulator to optimize current control and extend clamp and element lifespan.
• Regular Maintenance: Inspect clamp and screw tightness early in operation to prevent loosening or corrosion.
• Combination with H/G-Type Clamps: Combine C-Type clamps with H-Type or G-Type clamps as needed to optimize connection layouts.
