Waveguide Clamps
on May 18, 2010
Posted by: Paula K.
I once set up a test station where I had to test the performance of microwave waveguide filters and I despaired about all the screwdriver work that would be involved (this was in the pre-electric screwdriver days). The waveguide was WR-90 (X-band) but the technique is general. I just fished around in my desk until I got several of these heavy-duty paperclips. The clips just clamp on each side of the waveguide flange and they hold remarkably well. Oh you should drop in two machine bolts from one side (nuts not needed) to maintain the WG alignment. With this arrangement you can swap a waveguide joint in just a few seconds. You can't get any cheaper and it works quite well.
I use these clips to close chip bags to hold the corners of too-loose bedsheets to hang laundry while quilting... oh yeah and to hold papers together. I recommend buying lots of these clips in different sizes because you will find a million uses for them.
