The harmful effects of mechanical shock and the heavy-duty vibrations that are common in fluid power systems can be mitigated with the use of a Telescoping Tube Clamp. Tube clamps that can have the length of their nested tubing adjusted, provide full linear adjustment and locking, and do not leave marring on the surface of the tube are the most ideal to use. The telescopic tube clamps you use for your telescopic tube system need to be designed so that they are simple and quick to use.

Clamp for Telescoping Tubes - Featured Items

Infinite Adjustability refers to a linear mounting component that has a strict clamp-style and is designed to hold without causing damage to the tube while also providing endless adjustability. Telescoping tube clamps must have a quick-release handle that allows the user to establish and lock a position, making them ideally suited for applications that require frequent repositioning.

All Sizes – The clamps have to be available in a variety of lengths and widths so that they can fit a wide range of hose and tube diameters in order to fulfill all of the requirements.

• Accessories - The telescoping tube clamps have to have an adjustable screw so that they can get the perfect fit for the sliding tube, and they have to have a clamping lever so that they can quickly adjust the length of the pole

• The telescopic tube screw has found widespread use in a variety of applications because it enables a secure and accurate fit in all of those applications

• Because of the narrow space that separates the inner and outer telescoping tubes, it is possible for these tubes to rotate in relation to one another

• When this occurs, it is essential that the tubes be screwed together

Assembly instructions for the Telescoping Tube Clamp

Adjustments need to be made to the telescoping tube clamp to ensure smooth operation and the highest possible clamp holding power. Lift the lever up to its highest position and then tighten the screw just enough so that the sliding tube can still move freely. This adjustment will yield the best possible performance. When the lever is fully lowered, this will ensure that the maximum holding power is achieved. The following is a step-by-step guide for the assembly process in general:

Dry fitting as well as sanding

Sanding the tube end and the telescopic tube clamp will get you started on the preparations. Dry fit the larger diameter end of the tube clamp on the tube, and then apply masking tape to protect everything except the area that is going to be bonded. Sand the end of the tube as well as the interior of the tube clamp (the end with the larger diameter). After the sanding is complete, clean the tube end and the tube clamp with a rag.

Epoxy to Mix and Apply

Combine the components of the epoxy adhesive in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Mix thoroughly after adding 10% by weight of microspheres to the epoxy mixture (that is, 0.3 grams of microspheres for every 3 grams of epoxy).

Apply epoxy in an even layer to the tube end as well as the interior of the larger diameter end of the tube clamp, and then place the clamp over the tube end. Take special care not to get any adhesive on the end of the clamp with the smaller diameter because this is the end that will accept the sliding tube that can be adjusted.

Clean up & cure

Utilizing a rag that has been lightly saturated with isopropyl alcohol, acetone, or mek, clean the interior as well as the exterior of the telescoping tube clamp. Take off the masking tape, then place another layer of masking tape over the end of the clamp so that it is firmly attached to the tube. Give the bond time to harden. Overnight, adhesive will harden when left at room temperature (about 75 degrees Fahrenheit). The use of higher temperatures results in the achievement of faster cures. For more information, please review the technical sheet that is associated with scotch-weld ep-oxy 2216b/a gray.

Attaching the end stop to the tube

When the telescoping tube is fully extended, the end stops prevent the tube from coming apart. If you have purchased end stops for your tubes, you will need to bond them to the end of the tubes after you have installed them. First, give the end of the tube and the inside of the tube stop a light sanding. After that, apply adhesive to the interior surface of the stop as well as the exterior surface of the tube. Place the stopper over the tube's end, then line it up with the end of the tube. Utilizing a rag for cleaning, remove any excess adhesive. Wait until the material has completely hardened before inserting telescopic tube into the tube clamp.

After the bond for the telescopic tube clamp and the optional tube stop has had enough time to cure, the two tubes can be joined together. Simply slide the smaller tube into the tube clamp's smaller end. In the event that a tube stop was utilized, the tube must be joined using a tube with a larger diameter. Each sliding tube will need to be joined in order to accommodate multi-section telescoping tube assemblies that make use of tube stops.

Telescoping tube clamps are made to accommodate virtually all conceivable requirements for telescopic tube up to and including the largest tube end before the next tube clamp is bonded.

When choosing tubes designed for telescopic applications, it is essential to select sizes that have been just a little larger or smaller than the outside diameter or inside diameter that you intend to telescope. This is because the tubes must be able to accommodate the magnification that will be required. The tubes or pipes that you buy typically do not come with a guarantee from the vendor that they will accurately telescope to put it another way. This is a general rule of thumb. The only way to absolutely guarantee that the tubes you purchase will be able to telescope is to physically telescope the tubes into one another after you have purchased them.
