Abstract
A waveguide/conduit clamp has a load bearing frame with slotted mounting provisions and two mated center rings, an inner circular member with a center cutout to accommodate a waveguide or other conduit member and an outer circular member with a circular cutout displaced from its centerline by a specified offset. Rotation of the outer member, while maintaining orientation of the central one, results in vertical and horizontal displacement of the cutout in the central unit. When proper vertical distance of the cutout is achieved, the clamp is moved in its slotted mounting base to provide final adjusted position of the central member's waveguide/conduit workpiece. Both circular members have slits allowing their placement around the workpiece and within the clamp's load bearing frame.
