Clogged or
Appearance
chipped teeth
Cracks
Bending
Rust
Max working load
(The min working
load is indicated in
the instruction
manual.)
Arc strike
Screw cap and
Function
cam
Screw
Deformation
Body
Cracks
Dents
Widening of the
open part
Wear of the
suspension holes
Dented or scuffed
screw holes
Inspection procedure
Visually check the appearance of the
clamp.
If a fault is found
as a result of the
visual check,
disassemble and
check the clamp.
Max working load and
manufacturing No.
Check for the existence of an arc
strike. (Refer to JIS Z3001-2601.)
Check to see if the screw cap and the
cam are tilted to the specified angle
and also rotate smoothly.
Confirm that the screw is not bent,
deformed, dented, or cracked, and
operates
smoothly. If
it does not
operate
smoothly,
disassemble
Cam
and check
the clamp.
Check visually for deformation, cracks,
dents, widening of the open part, and
wear of the rear.
Wear of the suspension holes
Dented or scuffed screw hole
If the open part has widened, measure
it with a vernier caliper
If you suspect that a clamp is cracked,
subject it to a penetrant inspection or a
magnetic particle inspection.

Judgment criteria
Do not use a clamp
that has clogged or
chipped teeth, or is
cracked or bent.
Do not use a clamp
that strikes an arc.
Confirm that each part
of the clamp operates
smoothly.
Screw
Scew cap
Do not use a clamp
that has any of the
following defects:
A clamp whose open
part is significantly
deformed, cracked,
widened, or worn
A clamp whose
suspension holes are
significantly worn
A clamp whose screw
hole is significantly
dented or scuffed
Screw
Each tolerance value
shall conform to our
standard. (Refer to
