What makes metal tooth ties superior to standard cable ties?
Metal tooth ties feature corrosion-proof, non-magnetic steel teeth that firmly
anchor inside the cable tie body with positive locking. This unique design ensures no
chances of slippage in adverse conditions including humidity, heat, cold, vibration, and
external shocks, making them ideal for demanding applications in aviation, locomotive,
and windmill industries.
What are the different types of metal tooth ties available in your
range?
Our comprehensive range includes standard Metal Tooth Ties for indoor cable
bunching, UV Resistant Metal Tooth Ties for outdoor applications, Heat Stabilised Metal
Tooth Ties for high-temperature environments up to +125°C, and Fire Retardant Metal
Tooth Ties for safety-critical applications. All variants feature the same superior
locking mechanism with steel teeth.
Which industries commonly use metal tooth ties?
Metal tooth ties are extensively used in demanding industries including
Aviation for aircraft cable management, Locomotive for railway applications, Windmill
for renewable energy installations, and Ship & Marines for maritime environments. These
industries require the superior holding strength and reliability that only metal tooth
ties can provide in harsh operating conditions.
What temperature ranges can metal tooth ties withstand?
Standard metal tooth ties operate in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, while
our Heat Stabilised variants can withstand extreme temperatures up to +125°C. This wide
temperature range makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, as well
as high-temperature environments found in industrial and automotive applications.
How do the steel teeth prevent slippage in metal tooth ties?
The corrosion-proof, non-magnetic steel teeth are engineered to firmly anchor
inside the cable tie body, creating a positive locking mechanism. Unlike standard cable
ties that rely on plastic pawls, the metal teeth provide superior grip and holding
power, ensuring absolutely no chances of slippage even under severe vibration, external
shocks, and environmental stress.
What sizes and specifications are available for metal tooth ties?
Our metal tooth ties are available in various lengths ranging from 100mm to
780mm, widths from 2.5mm to 7.6mm, with tensile strengths from 8 lbs to 54 lbs (18-119
kg). They accommodate bundle diameters from 22mm to 230mm. All products come with
precise tolerances of ±4mm for length, ±0.4mm for width and thickness, ensuring
consistent performance.
Can metal tooth ties be installed with standard cable tie tools?
Yes, metal tooth ties can be installed by hand or with standard cable tie
installation tools including our TT-3, TT-4, and TT-5 tensioning tools. The installation
process is similar to standard cable ties, but the metal teeth provide significantly
superior holding power and reliability once installed, making them ideal for permanent
installations.
