  • Wire clamp wear indicator
    Publication number: 20020074475
    Abstract: A wear sensing wire clamp (10, 10a, 10b, 10c ) for securing a wire bundle (22), wire cable (34), hydraulic hose (38), fiber optic cable (44), or the like, to an aircraft bulkhead (32) or other such surface. A dye tube (16) containing a dye (20) is interposed and secured between an encircling band (12) and the object to be secured. Vibration will wear through the dye tube (16) releasing the dye (20) and thereby alerting users to a problem situation before a catastrophic failure occurs.
