Understanding Steel Wire Ties

Although steel wire ties are not as common as nylon or plastic ties, they still play a significant role in certain fields. Steel wire ties are stainless steel products mainly used for industrial binding and fixing. Steel wire ties are used by placing the stainless steel strip in the open groove between the rotating shaft and the blade, moving the gear handle to tighten the stainless steel strip, pushing the handle forward, pulling down the blade handle, cutting off the packing strap, locking the buckle, and removing the tool. This article will help you understand what steel wire ties are, their working principle, and how to use them.


What are steel wire ties?


For many of us, zip ties are a very familiar item, but in the concept of many people, zip ties are only made of plastic with a very strong binding effect. However, many people might not know that there are also steel wire ties, which unlike our plastic zip ties, do not have a certain degree of flexibility. Steel wire ties achieve the purpose of binding with their very strong rigidity.


Stainless steel wire cable ties are stainless steel products mainly used for industrial binding and fixing. Because they use stainless steel materials, they have the characteristics of stainless steel-resistant chemical corrosion media (acid, alkali, salt, etc.). At the same time, steel wire ties are not restricted by the shape and size of the bound object. The simple buckle structure simplifies the complexity of traditional clamps, and the good fastening performance ensures the safety of the bound object. The anti-corrosive and high-temperature resistant materials of steel wire ties ensure the aesthetic and fireproof requirements of the environment.


Working principle of steel wire ties


The working principle of steel wire ties is based on their unique design and physical mechanism, enabling them to securely fix items and not easily come loose.


  • Design structure: Steel wire ties consist of a strap and a buckle. The strap has a series of small serrations, and inside the buckle, there is a small clip.

  • Locking mechanism: When you insert the strap into the buckle, the clip gets caught by the serrations, making the strap tighten only further without pulling back. This design is very suitable for securing items, but it also makes the tie difficult to unfasten.


How to use steel wire ties


Steel wire ties are bands used for tying items such as cables and are widely used in shipbuilding, communications, automotive, power generation, and other industries. In daily life, they can also be used for fixing furniture, pipes, and binding wires, which are much more durable and safer than plastic ties. So, do you know how to use steel wire ties?


  • Place the stainless steel strip in the open groove between the rotating shaft and the blade.

  • Move the gear handle back and forth to tighten the stainless steel strip.

  • Push the handle forward, pull down the blade handle to cut off the packing strap, lock the buckle, and then remove the tool.
