V-band joint was originally developed during World War II by the Marmon Corporation for use in the aircraft industry. The U.S. Military used Marman clamp to secure the atomic bombs during transport at the end of the Second World War. It has been widely used in a variety of applications including pumps, engines, exhaust systems, turbochargers to offer effective fastening solutions and greatly simplify assembly and service. In addition, the orientation of the connected components can be easily adjusted according to customer's request. So it has been popularly adopted in the field of turbochargers. The axial clamping force and anti-rotating torque are two key parameters in turbocharger applications to verify the quality of the v-band joint during its operation. It is important for the v-band joint to have sufficient axial clamping force to prevent leakage and wheel damage.
