Svorka s Konstantním Napětím — Engine and Factory Cooling

Svorky s konstantním napětím (constant tension clamps) maintain consistent napětí (clamping force) through the full engine and industrial thermal cycle — from Prague winter cold starts through operating temperature; and in factory automation equipment through the heat build-up of continuous production. Prague Tier 1 suppliers specifying constant tension clamps for OEM deliveries to Škoda Mladá Boleslav can collect from Tuchoměřice same day:

Prague Airport (Václav Havel) GSE and Cargo Logistics

Václav Havel Airport Praha and the Dobrovíz logistics park adjacent to the airport (Amazon Logistics, DHL, GEFCO, Raben) operate vehicle and equipment fleets requiring W4 stainless for all outdoor and engine bay connections — road salt and Prague winter humidity make W1 zinc clamps unsuitable for fleet MRO in the Dobrovíz/Hostivice zone adjacent to HCL's warehouse:

  • Mikalor ASFA-S W4 — for all Prague airport GSE and Dobrovíz logistics fleet MRO connections; collected same-day from Tuchoměřice — 15 minutes from Václav Havel Airport
