KF16 Aluminium Alloy KF Vacuum Clamp Bracket What it is and why you need it A KF16 clamp bracket manufactured from quality aluminium alloy that combines durability with a low weight for easy handling and long service life. Designed to secure KF16 vacuum fittings and components during vacuum operations, preventing movement that can cause leaks, misalignment, or component damage. Provides a reliable KF vacuum connection and stable mechanical support so assemblies maintain seal integrity and repeatable performance. Key benefits Secure, repeatable seals: Precise KF16 interface and robust clamping action reduce the risk of leaks and contamination during evacuation and process cycles. Stable component retention: Holds parts firmly in place to prevent shifting under vibration, thermal cycles, or pressure changes, improving process consistency. Lightweight and durable: Aluminium alloy construction lowers added mass on delicate assemblies while resisting wear for extended use. Corrosion resistant: Suitable for a wide range of industrial and scientific vacuum environments where exposure to humidity or mild corrosive conditions is expected. Plug-and-play compatibility: KF16 interface integrates directly with standard KF components for fast, tool-friendly setup and straightforward system modification. Performance and compatibility Function: Mechanical clamp/bracket for securing components in KF16 vacuum systems; supports alignment and stable mounting during pump-down and operation. Size/model: KF16 interface (compatible with standard KF16 fittings and hardware). Material: Quality aluminium alloy for a balance of strength, weight savings, and corrosion resistance. Practical performance: Improves seal reliability, reduces setup time, and minimizes risk of movement-related failures without adding bulky mass. Typical applications Research laboratories: Secure sensors, small feedthroughs, or tubing to vacuum chambers during experiments and bakeouts where repeatable alignment and leak-free operation are required. Process equipment and test benches: Mount and stabilize KF16 fittings and instrumentation on vacuum test rigs for leak testing, component verification, or product development. Light industrial vacuum assemblies: Use in small vacuum lines, fixtures, and enclosures where corrosion resistance, ease of integration, and dependable clamping are needed. What to expect in use Faster assembly and fewer rechecks: Simple KF16 compatibility lets you integrate the bracket into existing KF systems without adapters. Greater system reliability: Firm clamping reduces incidental movement and helps maintain vacuum integrity over repeated cycles. Long-term utility: Aluminium alloy construction lets the bracket withstand routine handling and exposure common in lab and light industrial settings.
