Ball-Lock Stainless Steel Cable Ties

Features of Ball-lock Cable Ties

1. Strong self-locking mechanism (stainless steel ball), with low insertion force;
2. Fast, easy and reliable installation;
3. Six widths (4.6 ~ 19.0 mm), suitable for most applications, indoor and outdoor;
4. Un-coated version, suitable for high temperature environments;
5. Two grades of non-magnetic stainless steel: 304 grade for standard applications and 316 grade (marine grade) for extra corrosion resistance;
6. Applications: installation of cables and pipes in extreme conditions and hazardous areas, such as: petrochemical and food processing industries, power stations, mining, shipbuilding, offshore and other aggressive environments.
Unique stainless steel ball locking design allows smooth entry of the tie body for ease of threading. The ball is permanently entrapped in the head portion of the tie. When the tail of the tie is passed through the locking head, the tail is forced upward by the ramp (see drawing) which creates constant contact between the tie and the locking ball. This contact assures locking in any position (upside down, sideways, etc.). When locked on a bundle, the ball, working in conjunction with the angled ramp of the head, provides a positive mechanical wedge locking action. The forces created by this wedging action are so great that mechanical deformation of the tie body occurs at the point of contact between the ball and tie, locking the tie.
