Clamping rings

A clamping ring with U-bolt is a simple yet essential component in the agricultural and vehicle sector. These rings keep exhaust parts tightly secured and prevent movement during operation. They are widely used on tractors, agricultural machines, construction equipment, as well as cars, vans, buses, and trucks.

At Techniek Totaal, we focus on machines used in agriculture, construction, and workshops. Our clamping rings are suitable for brands like Fendt, Deutz, IHC, John Deere, JCB, Ford, Renault, and many more.

Different clamping ring sizes

Clamping rings come in various diameters depending on the exhaust pipe size. Choosing the correct size is important – too small won’t fit, too large won’t hold properly.

How to measure the diameter

Use a caliper or measuring tape and measure the outside diameter of the exhaust pipe. Make sure to measure across the pipe, not around it. Choose a clamping ring that matches this measurement exactly.

Materials: standard, zinc-plated or galvanized

Our clamping rings with U-bolt are available in different finishes:

• Standard steel is strong but prone to rust.

• Zinc-plated steel has a thin layer of protection against corrosion.

• Galvanized steel features a thicker, bonded layer of zinc for extra durability – ideal in wet or dirty environments.

Benefits of a good clamping ring

A quality clamping ring offers:

• A solid connection between exhaust parts.

• Reduced vibration and noise.

• Easy installation and removal.

• Extended exhaust system lifespan.

Tips for installation

Always install the ring on a clean, rust-free pipe. Tighten the nuts evenly to ensure the bracket stays straight. On older machines, clean off rust or heat residue first.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right size?
Measure the outer diameter of the pipe with a caliper. Select a ring that matches this size exactly.

What’s the difference between zinc-plated and galvanized?
Galvanized steel has a thicker coating, offering more protection in tough environments.

Are these rings reusable?
Yes, if they’re not bent or rusted. Grease the nuts if you plan to reuse them later.

Can I use these clamping rings on other vehicles?
Absolutely. Although we focus on agriculture and construction, they’re also suitable for cars, buses, vans, and trucks.
