Ball Joint Clamp 18/8 Stainless Steel with Set Screw – Secure Fixation for Ball and Socket Joints

Ball joint clamps are essential tools for the secure fixation and sealing of ball and socket joint connections in laboratory applications. These fork clamps made of high-quality 18/8 stainless steel (1.4301/AISI 304) enable precise and force-fit connection of two ball joint components. The integrated set screw ensures constant contact pressure and prevents unintentional loosening during operation.

Technical Features:

• Material: 18/8 stainless steel (1.4301/AISI 304)
• Design: Fork clamp with two clamping jaws
• With set screw for permanent fixation
• For ball and socket joints according to DIN 12242
• Corrosion-resistant and chemically inert
• Polished surface for gentle handling of glassware
• Reusable and autoclavable

Functionality:

The fork clamp is placed over the two ball joint halves and encloses them form-fit. By tightening the set screw, uniform pressure is applied to the connection, firmly pressing the ball and socket surfaces together. This ensures a vacuum-tight and pressure-resistant connection.

Application Areas:

• Distillation apparatus
• Reaction setups
• Vacuum and pressure applications
• Synthesis systems
• Extraction apparatus
• Schlenk lines and inert gas systems
• General laboratory setups with ball joint connections

Application Notes:

• Ball joint clamps should be selected according to size to match the ball joint standard used
• The set screw should be hand-tightened but not over-tightened to avoid glass breakage
• Thermal expansion should be considered when temperature changes occur

The ball joint clamps are available in various sizes from KS 13/5 to KS 65/40, covering virtually all common ball joint connections in the laboratory.
