We offer both machined and metal formed couplings. Formed couplings are available in an extensive variety of cross-section with numerous latch styles, including T-bolt, quick-release T-bolt, and slotted, forged-trunnion designs. Designed for aircraft bleed air and environmental ducting. Available in all stainless steels, and many superalloys including 15-3-3-3 titanium for maximum strength at minimum weight. Rigid machined couplings meet both commercial military requirements and the AS1895 standard. These couplings are used with metal seals and machined couplings in high-pressure and high-temperature aircraft ducting applications such as jet engine bleed air systems.
V-Band Couplings are available in a variety of cross sections and shapes with numerous latch styles. Designed for light, moderate, and heavy-duty service in a variety of conditions, including corrosive environments and temperatures up to 1200°F. Information given on these pages pertain to V-band couplings with sheet metal retainers. However, when size and/or strength requirements are extreme, V-retainer segments can be machined.
No other single manufacturer offers as wide a range of V-retainer couplings as CAM. From economical stamped V-retainer couplings used on low-pressure pumps to special machined couplings used on jet turbine engines. V-Retainer Couplings are generally used to hold V-shaped flanges together and are available in any diameter starting at 1.5 inch. They are also available in hundreds of profile, latch and material combinations. Contact our sales department for further details.
Single or Multiple segment stamped V-retainer couplings are economical and durable. They are designed for low to moderately high-pressure applications on sheet metal or machined flanges where frequent disassembly is not required. Typical applications are diesel exhaust systems, turbochargers, air brake diaphragm bodies, pump bodies, and plastic-lined piping.
Rigid V-Couplings and mating machined flanges are used with resilient, all-metal seals on aircraft bleed air distribution ducting for de-icing and air-driven motors and pumps; plus environmental control systems on both commercial and military aircraft.
