HellermannTyton 111-02160 T18L-W-BK-C1 cable tie 200x2.5 mm black content_copy

The cable tie T18L-W-BK-C1 from HellermannTyton is a UV-weather-resistant fastening element made of polyamide 6.6 (PA66W), specifically designed for outdoor use. It is used for bundling and securing cables, pipes, and hoses, and features high resistance to UV radiation, making it significantly more durable than conventional PA66 cable ties. The construction from 100 % high-quality plastic enables good recyclability. The cable tie features an internal toothed mechanism that ensures a secure hold on the bundle, and a bent band end that facilitates easy insertion. It can be processed both manually and with special processing tools for reliable production.

Applications
The cable tie is intended for applications in outdoor environments where high UV resistance and weather resistance are required. It is particularly suitable for securing cables, pipes, and hoses in electrical and IT installations, industry, machine building, and communication technology. The material composition of PA66W ensures a long service life under the influence of sunlight and weather conditions.

Functions and Features in Detail
The internal toothed mechanism ensures that the cable tie does not loosen after tightening and securely holds the bundle. The bent band end facilitates insertion into the locking wheel, speeding up processing and reducing error rates. The 100 % plastic construction makes the cable tie lightweight, robust, and recyclable. The UV stabilization of the PA66W material prevents premature aging or brittleness caused by sunlight.

Technology Explained Simply
The cable tie is made of polyamide 6.6 with UV stabilization (PA66W), a thermoplastic material known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. The UV stabilization significantly extends the material's lifespan under sunlight exposure. The internal toothed mechanism works on the principle of a ratchet lock: when tightened, the band is drawn into the teeth, preventing it from loosening. The bent band end allows for easy and quick insertion, especially in automated or tool-assisted processes.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable tie can be used with various processing tools, including the MK10-SB (item number 110-10001), MK20 BLAU (item number 110-20006), processing tool EVO7iSP (item number 110-77002), and EVO7i (item number 110-77001). These tools enable reliable and efficient processing, especially in series applications. The tools are designed for processing cable ties with internal toothed mechanisms and ensure clean and force-locked tightening.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the band end into the locking wheel and tightening to the desired tension. The band is fixed by the internal toothed mechanism. When using tools, the cable tie is placed into the tool, which then tightens and cuts the band. Processing is possible both manually and with tools, with tools providing higher process reliability and shorter processing times.

Operational Advantages
The cable tie offers high long-term stability in outdoor environments due to UV stabilization. The internal toothed mechanism ensures a secure hold that does not loosen even under vibrations or mechanical stress. Easy processing by hand or with tools reduces installation time and increases efficiency. The recyclability of the material contributes to environmentally friendly disposal. Using PA66W instead of conventional PA66 extends service life and reduces replacement and maintenance costs in operation.
