The cable tie T18R-PA66-NA-C1 from HellermannTyton is a fastening component from the T-Series, specifically developed for bundling and securing cables, wires or hoses. It has a length of 100 mm and a strap width of 2.5 mm and is available in natural colour. The construction is based on a high-quality plastic, ensuring high mechanical load capacity and long-term stability. The internal toothed mechanism ensures a secure and permanent hold on the bundle, preventing shifting or loosening under load. The angled strap end allows for easy and precise insertion, facilitating handling both manually and with tools.

Cable ties of the T-Series are suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly in electrical and IT installations, machine building, and industrial manufacturing. They are used wherever reliable and durable fastening of cables and wires is required. The material variety of the T-Series allows for universal application in different environments, with the specific model T18R-PA66-NA-C1 being suitable for medium to high loads due to its dimensions and material quality.

Functions and features in detail
This cable tie features high holding strength combined with low insertion force. This means it remains stable under load, while requiring minimal force during tightening, making processing more efficient. The internal toothed mechanism ensures the strap does not slip back after tightening, guaranteeing a secure fastening. The angled strap end reduces the risk of misalignment and facilitates insertion into tight or hard-to-reach areas.

Technology explained simply
The used plastic alloy PA66 (Polyamide 66) offers a good combination of strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. These properties make the cable tie suitable for operating conditions involving mechanical stress, temperature fluctuations, or contact with common industrial chemicals. The internal toothed design is a proven principle in cable tie technology, enabling irreversible locking. The strap is pulled through the teeth during tightening and remains fixed afterwards.

Compatibility and accessories
The cable tie T18R-PA66-NA-C1 can be combined with various fastening systems to enable flexible mounting. Examples include mounting bases such as FH18-PA66-NA-D1 or adhesive bases such as TY3G1S-PA66-NA-C1, which allow clean and residue-free fastening to surfaces. Fastening clips such as H1P-PA66-NA-M1 are also compatible. For processing, tools such as MK20 BLAU or the processing tool EVO7iSP are available, supporting process-safe and efficient installation.

Installation and mounting
Mounting can be done either manually or with special tools. The angled strap end facilitates insertion into the locking mechanism, enabling secure fastening even in tight spaces. Using tools increases process reliability and reduces error rates, especially in series installations. The cable ties can be mounted on various surfaces, with the use of bases or clips enabling stable and neat installation.

Advantages in operation
The combination of high holding strength, low insertion force, and the use of high-quality plastic ensures reliable and durable fastening. Easy handling and compatibility with various fastening systems increase flexibility in use. The T-Series is suitable for a wide range of applications, making it a standard solution in various industries.
