The main difference between the W3 constant tension worm-drive and the standard Mikalor worm-drive is to be found in the inner-ring insert incorporating a spring. This spring-loaded insert maintains constant pressure around the hose in case of sudden variations in temperature and/or vibration thereby avoiding leaks.

The main difference between the W3 constant tension worm-drive and the standard Mikalor worm-drive is to be found in the inner-ring insert incorporating a spring. This spring-loaded insert maintains constant pressure around the hose in case of sudden variations in temperature and/or vibration thereby avoiding leaks.
[B]Screw: [B]AISI 430 stainless steel.
The fact that this clamp guarantees leak-proof hose assemblies with both gaseous fluid & liquids makes it ideal for applications in car, tractor or heavy machinery engines. Moreover, the non-perforated cold formed band together with the rounded band edges make sure that no damage occurs to the hose. This clip complies fully with the DIN 3017 norm and also with the RoHs directive EU/2002/95/EC dated 1st July 2006.
[B]Band and Housing:[B] X6Cr-17 Stainless steel (DIN 1.4016) AISI 430
[B]Spring-loaded insert: [B]AISI 301 Stainless steel
*The bandwidth does not take into account the spring-loaded insert.
The maximum application pressure can vary depending on the type of hose used and the geometry of the coupling.
