When is it worth using cable ties?
Cable ties have a wide range of applications. First of all, they are used to bind wires, as well as various types of cables and pipes. Of course, they also enable visual identification. They can also be used to attach nets or frames. It is worth using cable ties to connect cables in industry, but also pipes in installation and maintenance works. Cable tie is also known by another name, such as cable tie. It guarantees strong connections and resistance to loads. To fasten the cable tie, simply thread the end of the tie through the hole located at the other end of the element. They are most often used by installers to fasten cable bundles and to bundle wires. Plastic clamps can also be used to suspend electrical cables. Therefore, zips will be useful when you need to connect, for example, two items.
How much load can a cable tie withstand?
Cable ties have been known since 1958. At that time, they were used to organize cables. This way, a more aesthetic effect was achieved, but also greater safety by avoiding tangled cables. Although many years have passed since then and the structure of the cable has not changed, it has been adapted to the growing requirements and can now withstand really heavy loads. Cable ties can be not only resistant to mechanical damage or corrosive substances, but also resistant to tearing force. For a 4.5 mm wide cable, the breaking force is 22.44 kg, while a 7.5 mm wide cable withstands a load of 55.08 kg. When the cable tie is even wider, i.e. 9 mm wide, its strength is estimated at 71.40 kg. The 12.5 mm wide clamp can withstand a load of 110 kg. Cable ties can also withstand a large temperature range, i.e. from minus 40 degrees to 90 degrees. The breaking force in this case is 8 daN.
What types of cable ties are there?
Cable ties are available in many different variants. You can choose colored cable ties, which enable easier identification of e.g. cables. Detectable cable ties are also available and are used in the food industry. They facilitate the analysis of threats and critical control points. If you intend to use cable ties outdoors, they must be resistant to UV radiation. Of course, there are also reusable models available that are perfect for bundling wires, hoses and tubes.
The wristbands with a description plate are also worth paying attention to. Moreover, if you need really durable cable ties for installation work, choose cable ties made of steel. You can also choose ball joints, e.g. made of polyethylene, which can be quickly installed. They are flexible and stable. Velcro cable ties can be used to bundle cables, communication cables and fiber optic cables, which are particularly useful when connecting delicate cables. Therefore, the cable ties should be selected according to the needs and for the specific installation work.
