Locking Principle Of Stainless Steel Cable Ties

Stainless Steel Cable Tie, also called ball self-locking cable ties, are different from traditional one-piece nylon cable ties. There is a rolling steel ball inside the buckle of the self-locking stainless steel cable tie, which is also the core of the self-locking cable tie. When the tail of the cable tie is inserted from the head, the ball will roll inward along the direction of the cable tie.

When the cable tie is tightened to the appropriate position and then released, there will be a force to break free and pull the cable tie outward. At this time, the ball will retreat, thereby locking the cable tie and stopping it from retreating. As shown in the figure below.
