While the majority of cable ties sold for basic, light-duty or home use tend to be made from plastic, we also sell a range of metal cable ties, in both 304 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel versions, designed for more robust cable retention.
Our metal cable ties are better for holding heavier or thicker cables and wiring bundles securely in place between clamps, and are available in a variety of materials for different applications and install environments.
Metal cable tie uses:
Stainless steel cable ties are a useful solution for general purpose metal cable tie tasks and are an ideal alternative to standard nylon cable ties for use in especially harsh install locations.
- Stainless steel cable ties boast excellent resistance to abrasion, corrosion, radiation, weathering and extremes of temperature.
- They're also much more durable for use in locations likely to be subject to excessive vibration, and the high melting point of stainless steel makes them a reliable choice in terms of general fire resistance too.
- Metal cable ties also have a greater load carrying capacity than plastic varieties and may be used for other general strapping applications where suitable.
- Metal ties are often designed with a self-locking roller ball mechanism, in which a small ball bearing grips the tie strap and locks the metal cable tie as it is tensioned.
- Stainless steel cable ties are suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor installations and offer impressive chemical resistance for a range of harsher or more aggressive workplace environments.
- Metal cable ties are frequently chosen for use in industries such as:
- Oil and gas
- Marine and shipbuilding
- Chemical
- Maintenance
- Automotive
- Solar
- Mining
- Defence Services
We also stock a selection of cable clips and clamps, ideal for use alongside our metal cable ties to complete longer wiring runs for a neat, tidy and hazard-free approach to cable management is an extremely handy approach both at home and in the office or industrial workplace.
