Prevent abrasion at clamps/brackets (risk control)
How do I prevent abrasion at clamps, brackets, and routing points?
Short answer: Abrasion is usually caused by vibration and relative movement at contact points. Prevent it by correct sizing, secure retention, and localized reinforcement at high-risk points.
Recommended controls:
-
Correct sizing: avoid sleeves that are too tight (increases friction and wear)
-
Secure retention: prevent sleeve migration using suitable clamps/ties
-
Edge protection: cover sharp edges or add localized reinforcement using heat shield tapes and barriers
-
Routing review: adjust routing to reduce rubbing against brackets where possible
-
Combined heat control: in exhaust zones, reduce source temperature using exhaust insulation to reduce heat-driven material aging
Field tip: The first wear spot is usually where the hose touches a fixed bracket during vibration. Reinforce those points first and re-check after initial operating hours.
