How Cable Ties Work

Ray — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 17:34:24 +0000

Cable ties work using a simple principle. One end of the cable tie has a small case (head) while the other end looks like tail. The whole body of the cable tie has threads (gear rack) for locking. The tail can be inserted and passed through the head. The tip of the tail can be pulled through the case (head).

With every pull, the thread on the body of the tie helps to create a irreversible lock which means that it cannot be pulled back. The consequent loop will be only able to pull tighter and cannot be opened up again. This is because the thread or teeth on the cable ties are arranged in a saw-tooth design and the head or the case contains a ratchet. The ratchet locks against the teeth which prevents the tie from being pulled back.
