• Narrow band • - Concentrates transmission of clamping force, less weight. • Stepless over 360° • - Uniform compression or uniform surface pressure. • Clamp ear • - Compensates for component tolerances, adjustable surface pressure. • Dimple • - increases clamping force, spring-effect compensates for changes in diameter due to thermal expansion. • Burr-free strip edges • - reduced risk of damage to parts being clamped
