Clamps

Cable clamps are accessories for wire and cable. They are used to bundle, clip, clamp, label,
guide, and protect wires and cables. Clamps play an important role in the installation and
maintenance of cable systems. Cable clamps are used in home construction, automotive,
rigging, and many more industrial and manufacturing applications. The clamps are available
in a wide variety of types and sizes. Cable clamps often come in a variety of colours and sizes
for different applications.

There are four common types of cable clamps:

• P-type
• U-type.
• Edge.
• Parallel
• J-type.

Cable Clamp Opening Size Load Rating

U-Type ½ inch to 4 inches 30lbs- 330lbs

Edge ½ inch to 3 inches Depends on number of

clamps

P-Type ½ inch to 4 inches 30lbs- 330lbs

J-Type - -

Important specifications to consider when searching for cable clamps include:

• The shape and size of the item or system being secured.

- The maximum diameter refers to the maximum diameter of the bundle of wires and
cables. If the clamp is larger than the conduit foreign matter can enter the space
between the two pieces can cause damage due to abrasion.
- If the conduit is larger than the clamp deformation and strain can occur on the
mounting foot of the clamp and potentially break the clamp. A good rule of thumb is
 to use 25 lb. minimum tension for conduits where no movement is desired and a 10-
pound maximum tension where movement is required.
• Environmental considerations include:
- Temperature range- The full, required range of ambient operating
temperature. Also, important to note is if the temperature will vary or if it
is continuous.
- Presence of surrounding fluid-The type of fluid in the system is important as well
as if the clamp will be immersed in or splashed by this fluid.
- Vibration shock in the area.

• Structural considerations include:

- The available mounting area and clearance - To provide the best structural
advantage the clamp mounting should be located to the inside of the bend.

- The position of the mounting (inverted, horizontal, vertical)- The clamp and
conduit should always be at 90° at installation. This will prevent built-in preload,
and clamp distortion and failure. When mounting conduits to a vertical structure,
the bolt should be above the conduit, so the static force does not oppose the
mounting foot.

- The external forces such as a line surge or structure flex- The conduit should be
supported as close to the conduit bend as possible.

P-Clamps are designed for fixing cables, tubes, and components in domestic/industrial
appliances, instruments, electronic and electrical appliances, and machines. They are non-
corrosive and ideal for both interior & exterior installation works. They are rust proof,
weatherproof, and rot proof. Simply route the cables or tubes through the base of the clip and
loop the head onto the corresponding hole. Screw into the instrument for a secure fix.

 2. Fir Tree Push Clamp

Fir Tree Mount Push Clamp are uniquely designed to secure cables and corrugated conduits
or pipes to a panel or chassis without the need of any fixing tools. The clip is mounted by
pushing the anchor head securely through the hole/fixing point thereby providing a solid,
rattle-free installation. The clip is most suited for use with threaded holes as each stepped
serration of the clip provides additional strength to the entire setup. The Fir Tree locking
system is designed to provide strong retention forces between the clamp and the chassis. The
design also allows for installation on a variety of panel thicknesses with low insertion and high
extraction forces, as well as helps absorb any additional external stresses on the cables and
pipes.

• Material: UL Listed Nylon 6.6. Resistant to Fungus, Corrosion, and most mild acids.

• Standard Colour: UV Resistant Black (B).

• Operating Temperature: -20° C to +85° C.

• Storage Conditions: To be stored in a cool, dark, dry place away from sunlight in a
sealed condition.

• Example Applications: Wiring Harness, Automotive, 2 Wheelers, Aviation,

Commercial Vehicles, Control Panels and Heavy Equipment manufacturing
industries.
 3. Fixed P-Clips

Fixed P-Clips are designed for fixing cables, tubes, and components in domestic/industrial
appliances, instruments, electronic and electrical appliances, and machines. They are non-
corrosive and ideal for both interior & exterior installation works. They are rust proof,
weatherproof and rot proof.

• Material: Nylon 6 Resistant to Fungus, Corrosion, and most mild acids.

• Standard Colour: Black & Natural White.

• Operating Temperature: -25° C to +85° C

sealed condition.

• Example Applications: Automobiles, Railways, Aviation, Power Plants, Telecom,

Consumer Durables, Retail Stores, Electric Metering, Electronics, Control Panels, New
Project Installations, Domestic Use and many more.
 4. U-type Clamp

The U-shape clamps are also called right-angle clamps. The support is attached directly to a
steel beam via bolts that are threaded and fastened to a flat or curved top piece. U-type
clamps are generally used when the conduit (pipes though which electrical power cables can
be run) needs to be installed perpendicular to the beam. Bend type clamps, such as U-type,
are not recommended for wire bundles over 1" diameter as the weight of the wires may
exceed the structural capabilities of the clamp.

• Materials: U clips can be made from various materials, including metal or plastic(Nylon6
or Nylon 12), depending on the application requirements
• Standard Colour: UV Resistant Black (B).
• Operating Temperature: -25° C to +85° C.
• Storage Conditions: To be stored in a cool, dark, dry place away from sunlight in a sealed
condition.
• Usage Examples: In automotive applications, U clips might be used to secure panels or
trim. In construction, they could be utilized to fasten wires or cables to surfaces.
 Cable Clips
Cable clips in the context of wiring harnesses are devices specifically designed to secure and
organize cables or wires. Cable clips for wiring harnesses often have a U-shaped or circular
design, providing a secure channel for cables to be inserted and held in place. They are
designed to be mounted onto surfaces, such as panels or walls, and are typically secured using
screws, adhesive backing, or other fastening methods. Cable clips can be made of various
materials, including plastic, metal, or a combination of materials. The choice of material
depends on factors such as the weight and type of cables being managed. Commonly used in
automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries, cable clips play a crucial role in keeping
wires organized, preventing tangling, and ensuring a tidy and efficient wiring layout.

There are various types of cable clips, including adjustable clips, adhesive-backed clips, and
screw-mounted clips, each serving specific purposes in securing and routing cables within a
wiring harness.

Difference Between Clamps & Clips

• Clamps:

- Generally larger and more robust.

- Involve a screw or lever mechanism for a strong, adjustable grip.

- Designed for securely fastening or holding objects tightly in place.

- Used in applications where a stronger grip is required, such as in woodworking,

metalworking, or heavy-duty construction.

- Suitable for larger and heavier objects or components.

• Clips:

- Typically smaller in size.

- Often involve a spring-loaded mechanism for gripping.

- Designed for holding things together or attaching objects by pinching.

- Can be used for securing papers, holding fabric, or organizing small items.

- Commonly used in lightweight applications.

1. AnchorHead Disc Clips

AnchorHead Disc Clips can be used to secure corrugated tubing along the length of the
chassis, without the need for any fixing tool. This can be done by simply pushing the
anchor head through the chassis/fixing point and routing the corrugated conduits through
the adjustable clamping portion. The adjustable locking strap allows for corrugated
conduits of various diameters to be securely fastened and provides a tight grip thereby
preventing unwanted movement. The anchor fits securely into the hole of your chassis,
providing a solid, rattle-free installation.
When fully inserted, the disc at the bottom of the clip seals the hole completely and
provides additional protection from outer elements such as dust, water, mild acids, and
oils thereby increasing the life of the wiring system exponentially.
