Description
A bridge clamp is a specific type of hose clamp commonly used to secure PU (Polyurethane) suction hoses and other similar hoses.
The name "bridge clamp" comes from the design of the clamp, which features a bridge-like structure across the center.
This design allows for an even distribution of pressure across the hose, ensuring a tight, secure connection without damaging the hose material.
What is a Bridge Clamp?
A bridge clamp typically consists of a metal band, a tensioning screw, and a bridge-like mechanism across the clamp’s inner diameter. The bridge design enhances the clamp's ability to maintain an even seal, distributing the tightening force more uniformly. This reduces the risk of pinching or causing damage to more delicate materials, such as the flexible PU hoses.
Applications of Bridge Clamps:
Bridge clamps are widely used in industries where hoses need to be securely fastened for fluid or material transfer, particularly where suction hoses are involved. P
U suction hoses are often used in applications like:
Industrial suction systems (for moving dust, powders, or liquids)
Vacuum systems (in manufacturing or cleaning processes)
Agricultural machinery (for handling various materials)
Construction sites (for handling debris or fluid transfer)
Why Choose Bridge Clamps for PU Suction Hoses?
The bridge mechanism ensures that the clamp provides uniform pressure, preventing deformation of the hose.
There by the bridge clamps are typically made of corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel, ensuring longevity and reliable performance even in harsh environments.The bridge design gives a secure and tight grip on the hose, which is crucial for suction hoses where maintaining a leak-proof seal is essential.
The even pressure distribution also helps to avoid damaging more flexible hoses like PU suction hoses, which can be prone to kinking or pinching under uneven pressure.

ridge clamps are particularly important in ensuring safety and efficiency when securing hoses used in suction or vacuum applications, preventing hose slippage, leaks, or damage during operation.
