Abstract
The invention contemplates tube-clamp structure wherein a split wear sleeve is applied to a metal tube with such resistance to displacement along the tube that displacement wear is accommodated essentially only via the lesser displacement resistance which characterizes a limited axial range of support-clamp engagement around the sleeve. More particularly, the split sleeve has a bonded lining of friction material which contains heat-curable adhesive--so that in a sufficiently elevated ambient temperature environment, as in the vicinity of an aircraft engine, the sleeve will bond to the metal tube; and so that in a lesser ambient-temperature environment, as within an aircraft wing which is subject to flexure, the sleeve will not bond to the metal tube but rather will be displaceable on the metal tube only for such unusual situations of axial play as the clamp-to-sleeve engagement will not accommodate.
