HOW TO USE NYLON CABLE TIES

This is the news channel of Zhejiang Wandu Plastic Co., Ltd., Welcome to our weekly news—— a little industry news a week and let us know more about cable tie, broaden our horizons, and grasp the industry trends… And today we will take you into the topic: how to use cable ties

Although cable ties are small items, they are very versatile. In our daily life, we can see the figure of cable ties all the time, such as the binding of wires, the tightening of bags, the bandaging of florists, etc., which all need to use cable ties, so here is a question —— how to use cable ties correctly? In the following, we will explore the role of each part of the cable tie first by analyzing the structure of the cable tie, so as to learn how to use the cable tie and precautions, so…Let’s enter our news for today——

The structure of the cable tie

There is an old Chinese saying called ” If you know both the enemy and yourself, you will fight a hundred battles without danger of defeat.”, So，to know how to use cable ties, we must first know what the internal structure of cable ties is, the following Figure P-1 is a common cable tie diagram for our factory design.

As you can see from the deconstruction of the cable tie we designed, the cable tie is mainly composed of 3 parts, the first part consists of a square and strong head with a small buckle inside, the second part consists of a long strap with clear serrations, and the third part consists of a smooth and sharp cable tie tail.

As you can see from the deconstruction of the cable tie we designed, the cable tie is mainly composed of 3 parts, the first part consists of a square and strong head with a small buckle inside, the second part consists of a long strap with clear serrations, and the third part consists of a smooth and sharp cable tie tail

The cable tie has a small buckle in the clasp, and the strap has a series of serrations. When the strap is threaded into the buckle, the small buckle will be stuck on the serration, so that the cable tie is very strong after being tied up, and it cannot be pulled open by brute force. This design allows the cable tie to be tightened more and more, because it has a structure inside it that normally only moves in one direction – the ratchet structure. The ratchet structure is mainly composed of a wheel with a raised edge and two pawls, so that the cable tie can only make an irreversible binding action in the direction of insertion.

It can be seen that each part has their special use, the width and thickness of the first part of the tie head are related to the degree of tension that the cable tie can bear, and the length of the second part of the cable tie line is related to the range of the cable tie that can be bundled, which is also a major reason for the differentiated needs of most customers – the size of the object that the customer needs to bundle and the tension that needs to be borne are related to the selection of different specifications of the cable tie – our factory in order to meet the various needs of customers in different applications, Dozens of different cable tie molds (as shown in Figure P-2) have been developed for customers to choose, followed by the role of the third part, our cable tie tail is designed into a smooth blade style style in order to meet the tail to drive the second part of the ladder teeth smoothly into the head of the cable tie, and the buckle of the head is smoothly matched to achieve the effect of binding.

From the above, it can be known that each part of the cable tie has its own functional role, and the design of the cable tie has a certain rationality, which not only satisfies the rationality of the material application but also ensures the maximization of the effect of the application, and realizes the maximization of the economic utility of the cable tie.

How to use cable ties

Now that you know the structure and function of a cable tie, the next question is how to use it? The use of our cable tie is very simple, that is, the tail of the cable tie is passed through the head of the cable tie with a bayonet, and the head contains a small buckle that can firmly clamp the serration of the second part to ensure the firmness of the object that needs to be tied, and the specific action can be broken down into the following two steps:

1. Thread the cable tie through the object that need to be tied
2. Thread the cable tie tail through the head gap of the cable tie and pull the strap to the extent you want

That’s the end of the process, and if you feel the rest of the cable tie is too long, you can cut it off as well – because the self-locking cable tie is a ratchet structure and can only move in one direction, you don’t have to worry about it coming loose at all.

And you can also find a lot of ways to use cable ties on the YouTube channel, for example:

There are a variety of application scenarios for cable ties, which is a small helper to facilitate our daily life and work life, and our factory is the direct provider of this product, what type of cable ties you need We can use our professionalism to provide you with professional services, you are welcome to buy according to your own needs.

Using TIPS

How to open the package: customers who buy our products know that our general packaging is a bag of 100 pieces cable tie, but there is a problem that we can’t use all 100 pieces or 50 pieces cable ties at one time, and the raw materials of cable ties have a certain water absorption, long-term exposure to the natural environment will absorb some moisture in the air, which will lead to a certain decrease in the tensile degree of the cable tie function in the next use.

In order to reduce the degree of performance degradation caused by long-term exposure to air and water absorption, we recommend that you cut a small hole from the side of the cable tie when opening the cable tie bag, and pull out the cable tie from the small mouth when you need to use the cable tie, which can not only reduce the degree of contact between the cable tie and the air, facilitate the storage of the remaining cable tie, but also effectively manage the remaining cable tie will not be scattered everywhere, which is convenient for the next use.

About the hidden button of the cable tie: Generally speaking, in order to ensure the firmness of the cable tie, the use of ordinary self-locking nylon cable ties is disposable. However, there will also be a problem that is if something that needs to be tied together is missing or needs to be adjusted, the average user will choose to cut the previous cable tie, which may produce a certain amount of waste.

As a professional cable tie production factory, we also anticipated this problem at the beginning of design and production, so if you have the above problems and need to untie the cable tie, We recommended a hidden practice is to press the buckle of the cable tie head, and then break it with your fingernail (slightly separate the buckle and the biting gear, leaving a certain gap), pull out the cable tie to release the cable tie (Note: this is just a hidden button, in order to ensure that the cable tie has enough bite force, the button is on the inside of the head, which compared to a special loose cable tie, the button will be more difficult to open).

Conclusion

Gently pulled the cable tie to facilitate our daily and work life. Well, that’s all for today’s news time, although the cable tie is small, but its role can not be ignored, and use the cable tie well, let it become a good helper in our daily life. We hope that through this news, you can have a good understanding of the use of cable ties. Welcome to consult or buy!
