The Usage and Installation of Cable Tie Mounts

It is important to use the Cable Tie Mount to secure the cable and prevent the cable from shaking and bouncing all over the place. Due to frequent friction, cable may loosen or damage easily, which may affect the performance of the expensive module and electronic system.

Adhesive back fixed function are designed for pasting on a wide range of surfaces, including plastics, woods, cement walls, and metals. This back sticker will hold it in place. Moreover, for strengthen the stability, drilling the screw is also a choice.

Hua Wei has developed several zip ties mounts materials and can be applied in different industries. These materials including the basic nylon 66, metal detectable plastic specially designed for food industry, and nylon 12 for solar energy industry and so on.

Features

Available in either “Screw Mount” or “Self-Adhesive Mounting”
Simple to install with a screw or bolt, the ties mount give excellent security, particularly in areas of high vibration.
Designed to offer the maximum surface area, and in conjunction with the specially developed adhesive ensures that a very high pull-off force is achieved
The tie mounts offer a 4-way entry for the cable tie enabling quicker and more flexible installation
Designed specifically for holding heavier cable bundles

Cable Tie Mounts Installation Guide

1. Surface Preparation
To ensure optimal adhesion, please follow these steps:

	Clean the Surface: Before installation, ensure the bonding surface is smooth and dry. It is recommended to clean the surface with a cleaning cloth and water or alcohol (isopropyl alcohol). This step effectively removes dust, grease, and other impurities.
	Drying Process: After cleaning, wait for the bonding surface to dry completely. You can use a fan to speed up the drying process and prevent any residual moisture from affecting adhesion.

2. Install the Cable Tie Mounts

Remove the Liner: Take the cable tie mounts out of the packaging, gently peel off the liner to reveal the adhesive surface.
Align the Mounting Position: Align the cable tie mount with the designated installation position, gently press it to ensure full contact with the bonding surface, making sure the adhesive covers evenly across all areas. During installation, avoid excessive movement of the mount to prevent affecting the adhesive's attachment.

Apply Pressure: Apply even pressure for 30 seconds to help the cable tie mount bond firmly with the surface, ensuring no bubbles or wrinkles. This maximizes the adhesive strength.
Recommendation: To achieve the best bonding result, it is recommended to leave the cable tie mount undisturbed for 8-24 hours (acrylic adhesive) after installation. This will achieve the best adhesive strength and avoid applying any load too early.
Optional Screw Reinforcement: If additional stability for the cable tie mount is required, screws can be used for reinforcement. However, avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the mount or adhesive surface. This will further enhance the load-bearing capacity of the mount, especially when the equipment is heavy or requires high fixation strength.

3. Cable Tie Mount Load Capacity
To ensure that the cable tie mount can safely and securely support the equipment, calculate the required number of mounts based on the following formula:

Required Number of Cable Tie Mounts = Total Equipment Weight ÷ Load Capacity of Each Mount

Assume that a piece of wire is 50cm long and weighs 100g, and is mounted using Hua Wei’s cable tie mount (HW-2A)
100/59=1.69 rounded to 2
Conclusion: This 50cm wire needs two HW-2As to carry it
border=

During the installation process, ensure that each mount's load capacity can withstand the equipment's weight. If the equipment has a larger or uneven center of gravity, increase the number of mounts to distribute the load, thus improving safety.

4. Storage Conditions

Storage Temperature: Unopened double-sided adhesive cable tie mounts should be stored in a temperature range of 18-25°C. Avoid storing in extreme temperature environments, as this may affect the adhesive performance.
Storage Humidity: Maintain the storage environment's humidity between 40-60% RH. Excessively high or low humidity may affect the adhesive's performance.
Shelf Life: Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life of the double-sided adhesive can reach 12 months. After the expiration date, the adhesive's performance may decline, so please regularly check the product's condition.

Other Precautions:

Avoid Direct Sunlight: The cable tie mount and its adhesive should be kept out of direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays may accelerate adhesive degradation.
Ensure a Clean Environment: During installation, avoid dust, grease, or other impurities from contacting the adhesive surface to ensure the best adhesion effect.
Not Suitable for Rough Surfaces: Double-sided adhesive is not suitable for very rough or porous surfaces, as this will affect the adhesive’s ability to bond effectively.
