Amtec Seals
Designed exclusively for use with oil or grease pressures up to 700 bar (10,150 psi) operating pressure; sized according to maximum clamping force- Dual hardness “U”-cup seals provide a flexible lip area to prevent low pressure seepage and high pressure blowby
- High-hardness heel area resists extrusion around the steel thrust ring
- These seals have repeatedly performed under pressures up to 700 bar (10,150 psi), for over 10 years without replacement
Amtec F-Nipples
- Designed and manufactured to ensure reliability as a one-way valve
- Engineered to handle repeated connections with Amtec 4-jaw F-Couplers
- Operates at grease pressure up to 700 bar (10,150 psi) without leakage, for many months
- Alloy steel body and steel check valve provides “leak proof” quality
- Standard for all sizes of F-Type Nuts
Amtec GX-Nipples
- Uniquely designed and built to operate at pressures up to 700 bar (10,150 psi)
- Can be connected and disconnected with full pressure in the nuts when used with the exclusive Amtec Quick-Disconnect GX-Coupler
- Precision-engineered, hardened alloy steel components and high pressure seals ensure “leak proof” performance
- Standard for all sizes of GX-Type Nuts
Amtec Release & Vent Screws
- Offer positive retention of internal grease and oil pressure to 700 bar (10,150 psi)
- Flat point socket set screw, steel ball and sharp-edged seat, guarantee repeated positive sealing of the pressure chamber while allowing rapid release of pressure when opened; sized according to application
Amtec Nut Bodies
- Alloyed steel and aluminium bodies for longevity
- Fine machined seal grooves for extra long seal life
- Precision machined parts for maximum overall service life
- Any Imperial or Metric Standard Thread specification can be supplied
Advantages of Aluminium
To compensate for increased weight in larger sized nuts, Amtec Hydraclamp offers alloyed aluminium nut models.
- Aluminium nut bodies offer 60% weight reduction vs. steel
- Lighter bodies provide improved safety in handling
- Reduced physical strain for setup personnel
- Natural oxidation forms a thin, durable surface coating which provides positive grip for handling
- Acme or Trapezoidal thread forms are recommended for optimum thread life
- 400 bar (5,800 psi) pre-set, operating pressure maximum is specified for normal operation of all Amtec Aluminium Nuts
- Comparable durability, performance and quality are guaranteed with Amtec Aluminium Nuts when used as designed
