It can be easy on a large job, or sometimes even on a smaller project, to forget the importance of choosing the right parts and supplies for all aspects of the job. One easy to overlook consideration is the choice of cable tie bases used to secure the cable in metal structures and equipment systems. Having the right system to mount the bases is also a critical factor, with faster, more versatile systems always the best option.
Steel, as a construction material, is increasingly popular due to the long life cycle of the material, the excellent strength of the steel as well as the ability to bond with concrete to form composite building components that are extremely durable. In these types of applications, as well as in marine construction, shipbuilding and running cable inside any type of heavy equipment, the choice of metal cable tie bases all boils down to the best option.
Application Methods
Choosing cable tie bases that can be installed using stud weld equipment is a simple solution to what can be a very challenging installation process. Using stud weld technology, the cable tie base is welded directly onto the metal surface, creating a durable and strong weld that will not let go or be damaged by vibration or temperature.
There is also no need for pre-drilling holes or managing other types of fasteners. Instead, the base is welded to the metal in seconds and can be immediately used to support the cable.
When selecting these bases, look for bases that have been designed to provide a smooth, even surface against the cable and to allow the tie to be quickly and easily inserted through the tabs to hold the cable in place.
Fast mounting, quality design and ease of use of the system to mount the cable bases should all be carefully considered when comparing options on the market.
