Clamping elements for shafts and tubes
The U-Clip from Uhing is the intelligent solution for quick and tool-free clamping on smooth shafts or pipes. Whether for positioning, fixing or securing: The U-Clip can be fitted or released with just one movement - and holds reliably thanks to its self-locking mechanism.
The main product features of the Uhing U-Clip:
- self-locking
- one-handed operation
- rotationally symmetrical
- high level of self-locking compared to elements with balls and inclined planes
- corrosion-protected
- vibration-resistant
How the U-Clip works
The principle: A clamping ring inside the U-Clip tilts radially on the shaft surface under light pressure - without any tools. The U-Clip is simply pushed over the shaft like a bushing, pressed against the component to be fixed - and is immediately secure.
Depending on the size, it is operated using a handle or release button. The clamping holds reliably - even in the event of vibration, movement or position changes.
Suitable for shafts with tolerances from h6 to h9.
Product advantages: The Uhing difference
Durable
The U-Clip works on hardened and unhardened shafts - corrosion-protected, vibration-resistant, maintenance-free.
Versatile
For different shaft diameters, with optional elasto-ring for restoring force in the event of thermal expansion. Suitable for stands, guides, packaging machines and much more.
Simple
Can be operated with one hand, self-explanatory handling, can be fitted and removed without tools. Quickly positioned - immediately fixed.
Safe
High self-locking, even under dynamic load. No slippage with correctly selected shaft hardness.
