The patented LOKRING® & LOKCLIP system
The patented LOKRING® & LOKCLIP system offers an innovative system of solderless tube connections as well as hose connectors for any repair situation in vehicle air conditioning systems and battery cooling circuits of e-vehicles.
Functional principle locomotive ring
THE TYPICAL LOKRING COUPLING consists of two LOKRINGs and a tubular socket for receiving the tube ends to be connected. Due to the conical inner contour of the LOKRING and the special outer contour of the spigot, the spigot is reduced radially onto the tube during assembly until the spigot and the tube create a hermetic metal-to-metal joint.
The lifetime tightness of the assembled joint is ensured by the condition of permanent elastic preload, which is generated by the counteracting radial forces of the LOKRINGes to the tube-socket joint.
