Vibration-uncoupling flange connection for vehicle exhaust train uses tensioning device formed as U-shaped flange clamp whose tensioning force can be fixed separately for individual tension areas

摘要

The flanges are resiliently pretensioned by a tension device (10) whose tensioning force can be fixed separately for the individual tension areas. The tension device is formed as a one-piece U-shaped flange clamp (11) whose clamping arms (13, 14) which are connected by a web are associated with opposite flange sides and each have two arms (15, 16) which are spaced from each other in the same extension direction and each only bear one support (18, 19) associated with one tension area.
