Clamping Collars for Pressure Gauges – Secure Mounting & Service-Friendly Installation

Clamping collars for pressure gauges enable front or rear panel mounting of gauges and digital gauges in panels, doors or enclosures. They provide a play-free fit, protect against vibration, and make precise dial alignment easy—without special drilling patterns or custom brackets.

Available for common dial sizes (e.g. DN 40/50/63/100/160), in carbon steel and stainless steel, with optional PU/rubber inserts for damping. ICS Schneider Messtechnik can supply pre-assembled sets including the gauge, gasket and matching clamping collar—documented and tagged for fast commissioning.

FAQ on Clamping Collars for Gauges

Selection, dimensions, materials, installation and best practices—short & to the point.

What are clamping collars used for?

For panel mounting of gauges. The collar clamps the case inside the cut-out, prevents rotation, reduces vibration and creates a clean, flush front.

Which sizes are common?

Gauge dial size	Typical panel cut-out	Note
DN 40 / 50	≈ Ø 45–52 mm	Compact panels, tight spaces
DN 63	≈ Ø 60–62 mm	Standard in HVAC/machinery
DN 100	≈ Ø 99–101 mm	Good readability
DN 160	≈ Ø 159–161 mm	High accuracy/test benches

Note: Always check the manufacturer’s datasheet; exact dimensions vary by model.

What materials are clamping collars made from?

Zinc-plated steel for standard environments; stainless steel 304/316(L) for corrosive or hygienic areas. Rubber/PU liners improve grip and damp vibrations.

How do I choose the right collar?

Criterion	Recommendation
Dial/case diameter	Match collar to the gauge case size
Panel thickness	Choose a collar with adequate clamping range
Environment	Use stainless steel for moisture/chemicals
Vibration	Prefer versions with damping insert

What is the correct installation procedure?

Make the panel cut-out to spec; deburr edges.
Insert the gauge from the front; place the clamping collar from the rear.
Tighten evenly, align the dial, then torque to the manufacturer’s spec.

Does a clamping collar affect measurement?

Indirectly positive: a more stable seat improves readability; the measurement function itself is unchanged.

What mistakes should be avoided?

Cut-out too small/large → poor clamping or case distortion.
Unsuitable panel thickness → collar does not clamp properly.
Overtightening → housing damage or stress.

Are versions available for rear/side process connections?

Yes. Clamping collars are generally connection-agnostic; just consider case depth and connection orientation (radial/axial) when planning the cut-out.

Compatible with digital gauges?

Usually yes—provided case diameter and depth match. Ensure display alignment before final tightening.

What about IP protection and sealing?

The collar itself does not seal the front. For higher ingress protection, add a front gasket (e.g. O-ring/flat gasket) and keep the panel surface flat and clean.
