Elesa+Ganter TCC system awarded: strength, durability, and versatility in tubular clamp

Jan 26, 2024

Elesa+Ganter is proud to present its award-winning range of connecting clamps for tubes. The TCC System, honoured with the 2024 German Design Award “Winner” distinction in the Excellent Product Design category, combines strength, durability, and versatility for a multitude of industrial applications.

Engineered with simplicity and robustness, Elesa+Ganter's tubular clamp connectors easily affix to tubes, creating stable structures from metal leg attachment to tabletops, steel tubing and pipes, as well as fencing systems and workshop furniture. Constructed from glass fibre-reinforced polyamide based technopolymer and fitted with stainless steel screws and nuts, these connectors resist high temperatures and corrosion while reducing weight.

User-friendly design features include easy cleaning, smooth surfaces, and free of sharp corners. The connectors ensure dimensional accuracy, top-tier manufacturing, and guaranteed resistance to tube pull out and tube rotation (resistance values measured during laboratory tests at ambient temperature with the screws tightened to the suggested torque).

Choose from a variety of configurations such as two-way, with mounting base plate, T-shaped, straight sleeve, and hinged joints connectors. They can be secured with standard clamping kits for convenient and frequent adjustments, negating the need for extra tools.

Elesa+Ganter’s TCC System connectors are available in matte black or grey, complementing the natural colour of aluminium and come in two sizes for diverse needs (Ø 18 or 30 mm). Hole reduction sleeves are sold as accessories for other diameters. In addition, Elesa+Ganter now offers a selection of connecting clamps for tubes in Visually Detectable “Signal blue” RAL 5005 technopolymer (material suitable for contact with food FDA CFR.21 and EU 10/2011) for contact with food and easily detectable to the human eye. This feature significantly enhances safety in food production processes, complying fully with international regulations.

Committed to meeting and exceeding customer needs, Elesa+Ganter also offers accompanying accessories such as monitor mounts, compliant with the VESA standard, which can be easily fastened to their tube clamp connectors. This solution offers flexibility and adjustment options for touch screens, panels, displays, or monitors on production machines.

Tubes in aluminium or stainless steel, tube endcaps, tube plugs, expanders, and protection covers ensuring an aesthetic match to any workplace surroundings complete the range.
