Types and uses of stainless steel cable ties

With the development of industry, the market demand for stainless steel cable ties has increased significantly, and there are more and more domestic manufacturers of this product. From simply imitating foreign products in the past to bold innovation, in recent years, the production technology of cable ties has continued to improve. Mature and perfect, according to different use environments and requirements, we can produce different types and uses of cable ties. Today we will briefly introduce the types and uses of common cable ties on the market.

According to the different forms, stainless steel cable ties can be divided into two types: pre-installed and self-made.
Among them, the more common prefabricated cable ties are: self-locking cable ties, stepped cable ties, retractable cable ties, ratchet cable ties and tight-fitting cable ties.
In addition, there are special cable ties specially used in marine engineering and shipbuilding, such as D-type cable ties, L-type cable ties and O-type cable ties.
According to the different coating processes, the cable ties can be divided into plastic-sprayed cable-ties and plastic-coated cable-ties. In order to enhance the corrosion resistance of the cable ties, a coating can be added to the surface of the cable ties. The coating has many advantages, not only can it enhance the corrosion resistance of the cable ties, but also effectively prevent the cable ties from being bundled. Frictional corrosion caused by contact with the surface of the object.
Another big advantage of the coating is that it can customize the color according to the customer's requirements, so that the color of the cable tie and the environment of use can be matched, and the color of the cable tie and the environment can be unified and coordinated.
The self-locking cable tie uses the working principle of steel ball locking. It is suitable for elastic objects or small and light objects, such as cables, signs, etc. It is not suitable for bundling relatively hard objects in a vibration environment. . Because it comes with a button, when bundling, the steel ball in the tie needs to be locked under the rebound of the bundled item. If the bundled item is a hard object with vibration, it will cause the steel ball to loosen, and naturally the locking effect cannot be achieved.

The stepped cable tie is the opposite of the self-locking cable tie. It is suitable for bundling hard objects. Its main principle is that the surface of the cable tie has punching holes and the head has barbs. Both the punching holes and the barbs can be well engaged. , so that the bundled objects will not loosen.
Self-locking and stepped cable ties cannot be used repeatedly like other cable ties. Once locked, if you want to disassemble them, you can only destroy the cable ties. If the bundled items require frequent use, you can choose a retractable cable tie.
The head of the ratchet-type cable tie is arc-shaped, so when bundling, it can better fit the cylindrical items, and no special tools are needed when bundling, so it can be used in telephone poles, street signs, etc. And so often use it to bundle.
It can be said that prefabricated cable ties are basically pre-installed, and they have a certain size of cable ties, so they are suitable for occasions with specific binding length requirements.

If in the actual use process, the items that need to be bundled are different in size, shape, and quantity, prefabricated cable ties often cannot meet the requirements of use, so self-made stainless steel cable ties need to be used.
Self-made cable ties are DIY cable ties, and their cable ties and blasting are often packaged separately. When users use them, they can cut the length according to the actual binding requirements. Its main feature is flexible use. The width of the cable ties is usually 4.6~32.0mm, the thickness is usually 0.25~1.20mm, and the length is usually 30~100m.
There are also many types of self-made stainless steel cable ties. The specific type is determined by the buckle. The environment and binding items used by different buckles are different. Common buckles include tooth-shaped buckles, L-shaped buckles and screw Buckle, flat buckle, etc.
