A stainless spring clamp with a D shaped profile, where the flat side bears against a surface and the curved side provides the spring travel. The shape suits clamping against a flat panel while retaining a round component.
The flat bears against a panel and the curve wraps a round component, which a single-curvature clamp cannot do as well.
The flat side stops the clamp rotating out of position under load.
Suitable for wet, outdoor and washdown positions without depending on a coating.
Seat the flat face fully against the panel before releasing the clamp. A partially seated D clamp loads on an edge and can slip under vibration.
Round clamps rotating out of position when loaded against a flat surface
Separate brackets and clips used where one shaped clamp would do
Dimensional and load figures are set per order against your drawing or sample, so they are marked TBC rather than filled with catalogue numbers.

Available in Stainless steel, Spring steel, Carbon steel, 65Mn, Music wire, in wire from 0.1-8 mm, with any of our nine surface finishing routes. Geometry, end treatment and finish are all specified per order.
ISO 9001, SGS certificate and RoHS report (stated on the legacy site, certificates pending re-confirmation). Certificate copies are sent on request once re-confirmed.
Against a plain round clamp, the D profile stays put against a flat surface. Against a bracket and clip, it does the same job as one part.
Yes. The curved section is formed to the component it retains.
Tell us whether the clamp locates by friction or by a fixing. Both are possible and the geometry differs.
Set by the required clamping force and the space available, confirmed at sampling.
Send your drawing, dimensions or a sample. We will confirm the specification and come back with a price and a lead time.
