Band IT Fasteners

Band-IT Fasteners

Band-IT Tie-lok® fasteners are actually a cool solution for the hot end of the exhaust system. A design dilemma for automotive engineers is created by Global government regulations around exhaust emissions and fuel mileage. They are explaining all the rules and regulations to obey by the engineers through this dilemma.

How you can keep heat resistors in place as working conditions get more demanding? It is a tough question to answer because if you couldn't, the cost of warranty and customer dissatisfaction will be revealed from the company's profitability. Here we can see the offers from Band-IT UK.

A catalyst for change

For decades, To secure components along the undercarriage, exhaust systems hung below the chassis and heat shields were welded at key locations. Today, the exhaust the system is tucked into the undercarriage, high-performance engines run hotter with catalytic converters reaching over 1200oF. Add vibration, road salts/de-icing agents and repeated thermal expansion/contraction, and you have operating conditions that surpass the performance capabilities of ordinary fasteners.

Warranty costs will be recovered from the bottom side of any manufacturer. BAND-IT Tie-Lok® Ties have avoided these unwanted costs for its customers. Tie-Lok Ties are manufactured from various grades of stainless steel in a low-profile, single-wrapped assembly.

What makes Tie-Lok better?

Tie-Lok ties expand and contract with the thermal cycles of the exhaust system because it is manufactured from various grades of stainless steel. To resist attack from road salts and other de-icing chemicals, BAND-IT also uses more noble metals in the tie composition.

BAND-IT provides perfect solutions, they developed the IT Tool system, a pneumatic banding tool that makes Tie-Lok ties installation simple, precise and consistent. Band-IT fasteners are one of the best clamping solutions that are available all over the world. Because of the quality and standards, Band-IT products are using even in the Marine and aerospace applications also.
