HellermannTyton launches Blind Hole Mount Cable Ties

HellermannTyton has announce.ds an advanced line of Blind Hole Mount Cable Ties for threaded and nonthreaded holes. Designed to accelerate the bundling and affixing of wire bundles and cables for manufacturers, the new mounting system eliminates extra hardware versus traditional screw mounts. This means greater convenience when mounting to deep, quarter-inch diameter holes, especially in spaces difficult to access.
Central to the product line is the new, proprietary mount -- a metal locking mechanism secured to a nylon body. The metal component flexes to allow easy insertion. Once attached, its uniquely angled design delivers the extraction force manufacturers require for common electrical applications. Installers can remove the mount nondestructively with the twist of a hex driver, making it reusable without loss of performance.
Each mount comes pre-assembled with an inside or outside serrated cable tie or offset cable tie. Made of heat-stabilized PA66, the system makes an excellent choice for elevated temperature applications.
The line includes a one-piece, nonmetallic option as well.
