The company STAUFF - Walter Stauffenberg GmbH expands its product range with a range of clamps

Multi-Line type MLC

STAUFF Multi-Line clamps of the MLC series enable simple and safe fastening of several cable, hose or pipe lines, with only one clamp body. There are versions for 2, 3, 4 or 6 lines to choose from.

The MLC range is based on the original STAUFF clamps of the standard range according to DIN 3015 (Part 1) in three different construction sizes, intended for all common cable diameters from 6 mm to 25.4 mm.

Product features

• The Multi-Line MLC clamp has properties that dampen noise and vibration, which is an important contribution to the protection of the living and working environment.
• Offers a modified storage of pipes, hoses or cable lines.
• Quick and easy assembly.
• Reduces assembly length by using a small amount of individual components.
• Compact and thus space- and weight-saving construction.

They are expanding the product portfolio

The original SATUFF clamps made of electrically conductive PP-EC polypropylene expand the already wide product program for fixing pipe and hose lines.
The new PP-EC material, in contrast to the materials used so far, is already processed during the injection molding process. This makes it attractive especially for serial production.
Electrically conductive plastic clamps are used as an alternative to metal clamps, for example in bulk materials or cement plants.

The temperature sensor with platinum measuring element PT100 from STAUFF enables the measurement of oil temperature much faster and more accurately.

These compact sensors respond to temperature fluctuations in the hydraulic tank without the usual delays. The regulated amount of heat, the corresponding required power of the cooler and its running time, as well as the energy required for this, are significantly reduced. As a result, the hydraulic medium suffers less heat aging.

All this protects our environment and your wallet!

The sensor is located in place of the lower hollow screw used for conventional optical and optical-electrical level indicators. Therefore, when replacing your old temperature sensor with a new one, it is usually not necessary to drill additional holes in your hydraulic tank. Alternatively, however, a mounting kit is also available.

Remarkably easy and safe connection of measuring and display devices

In addition to flow, pressure is without doubt the most relevant parameter and measuring factor in hydraulics. Measuring system pressure is therefore the most important and most frequently used method for monitoring, controlling and preventive service and maintenance of hydraulically operated machines and systems. It is the prerequisite for their economical operation. 

Test couplings from the STAUFF Test range are already planned during the design phase of a machine and installed in suitable positions in the hydraulic system at the factory. They allow machine operators and maintenance personnel to easily and safely connect analogue and digital measuring and display devices for the temporary or continuous testing of system pressure and other factors. If required, they also allow venting of the system as well as collecting representative fluid samples, e.g. for analysing the degree of contamination of the fluid. This type of connection requires no tools and can also be carried out during operation under full system pressure up to 630 bar (depending on the type of coupling).

The check valve (ball or poppet valve) integrated into the test coupling opens only after connection of the hydraulic tester with suitable adapters or hoses. This guarantees safe sealing of the connection without leakages and danger of fluids escaping from the system. 

STAUFF test couplings are not crimped after insertion of the internal valve components and seals but rather closed with a threaded nipple in a fully automated process. Not only does this design contribute to maximum precision and process reliability in production, it also secures the proper functioning of the couplings. The vibration protection, which prevents a self-acting detachment of the protective metal cap through vibrations in the system, is another competitive advantage.

For the finishing of the test coupling range in carbon steel, STAUFF relies on the zinc/nickel surface coating which has proven successful for many years. It provides more than 720 hours of resistance against red rust/base metal corrosion in the salt spray chamber in line with DIN EN ISO 9227. The chromium(VI)-free coating therefore exceeds the highest requirements with regard to resistance and durability and also complies with the valid ELV, REACH and RoHS guidelines. 

Versions in stainless steel V2A and V4A are generally available from stock. Alternative materials and surfaces are available on request.
