The cable tie T18L-PA66-NA-C1 from HellermannTyton is a fastening element from the T-series, specifically designed for bundling and securing cables, wires or hoses. It features high holding force combined with low tension force, enabling precise and gentle processing. The cable tie is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring high mechanical strength and long service life. The internal toothed strip ensures a secure and lasting hold on the bundle, while the angled tail end facilitates easy tensioning. Installation is simple by hand or with special tools, ensuring process-safe mounting in industrial and craft applications.

Fastening material for cables and wires

The cable tie T18L-PA66-NA-C1 serves as a universal fastening material in the field of electrical and IT installation. It is used wherever cables, wires or hoses need to be neatly bundled and secured. The material variety of the T-series enables broad application across various industries, including electrical engineering, automation technology and building installation. The cable ties are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, with specific environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity or chemical influences varying depending on the material version.

The construction of the cable tie includes an internal toothed strip, ensuring a stable and slip-resistant grip on the bundle. The angled tail end facilitates tensioning, especially in tight or hard-to-reach mounting locations. The low tension force reduces stress on the wires being secured and prevents damage. The high holding force ensures the bundle remains secure even under dynamic loads or vibrations. Installation can be done manually or with tools, increasing efficiency and accuracy during mounting.

The cable tie is made from a polymer material designated as PA66 (polyamide 66). This material is known for its high strength, heat resistance and chemical resistance. The designation PA66 refers to the chemical composition, suitable for demanding environments. The colour natural describes the uncoloured, transparent to light grey appearance of the plastic. Dimensions of 200 mm length and 2.5 mm strip width allow securing bundles of medium to large diameter. The specific shape of the tail end and the internal toothed strip are design features that optimise the cable tie’s function.

The cable tie T18L-PA66-NA-C1 is compatible with various processing tools developed for quick and secure cable tie installation. Suitable tools include the processing tool EVO7i (article number 110-77001) and EVO7iSP (article number 110-77002). Other tools such as MK20 BLAU (110-20006) or MK10-SB (110-10001) can also be used, depending on the mounting environment requirements. Additionally, other cable ties from the T-series are available, such as the natural cable tie 2.5x200 mm (article number 2110-10-0002) or the TY232M 203x2.4 mm natural (pack of 1000 pieces), which can be selected according to application requirements.

Installation is performed by simply threading the tail end through the loop of the cable tie and pulling until the desired tension is reached. The internal toothed strip prevents the strip from slipping back. When using tools, the cable tie is inserted into the tool, which then pulls the strip and cuts it off. The processing is process-safe, meaning mounting in industrial environments is performed with high repeatability. The low tension force protects the wires being secured from overloading.

The cable tie T18L-PA66-NA-C1 offers high mechanical strength and is suitable for use in demanding environments. The internal toothed strip and angled tail end improve handling and mounting efficiency. Tool-based processing enables fast and secure fastening, especially in series applications. The material quality ensures long service life and high reliability. The universal applicability across various industries makes the cable tie a versatile fastening element.
