Maintal, Germany, 17 June 2013 – NORMA Group, a global market and
technology leader for engineered joining technology, exhibits its newly
developed pipe retaining clamp made of plastic at this year’s Paris Air
Show. Red Grip can be used for fastening pipes, cables and lines in
aircraft, motor vehicles, commercial vehicles or trains. As compared with
conventional pipe retaining clips made of metal, the new Red Grip clamp is
made of the high-performance plastic polyether ether ketone (PEEK) that
stands out for its material properties: the clip is suitable for
applications in the temperature range between -50 C and +250 C – in an
aircraft engine compartment, for example. NORMA Group is exhibiting Red
Grip in hall 4, booth C38 at the Paris Air Show. The aviation exhibition
takes place in Le Bourget near Paris, France, from 17 – 23 June 2013.‘Red Grip is an outstanding example of our engineering skill, which even
goes into such small products,’ says Bernd Kleinhens, Board member Business
Development. ‘The new plastic pipe clip not only shortens assembly time,
its low weight also helps our customers save resources.’To reduce the overall weight of the systems, companies are increasingly
turning to lightweight construction. This trend is continuing down the
smallest components. (…)
