Fluid routing solutions: automotive plastic fasteners

Enhancing safety and efficiency in automotive industry by optimising fluid routing

In the automotive industry, precision, safety, and efficiency are paramount, especially when it comes to managing critical systems that involve the flow of fluids such as fuel, coolant, oil, and hydraulic fluids. This is where fluid routing solutions become essential. These solutions ensure that fluids are directed reliably through complex vehicle architectures, enabling optimal performance and compliance with increasingly strict regulatory requirements.

Reliable fluid routing solutions in vehicles demand more than just the right hose or tube; they depend on the right choice of fastener. In modern vehicles, where space is limited and systems are highly integrated, smart routing and robust mounting solutions directly contribute to vehicle durability, ease of maintenance, and overall safety. Proper securing and routing of fluid lines prevents abrasion, leakage, vibration damage and thermal stress.

As vehicles continue to evolve, especially with the rise of electric and hybrid technologies, the importance of optimised Fluid Routing Solutions will only grow. Automotive manufacturers rely on these systems to meet performance expectations, reduce weight, and simplify assembly processes.

UV-stabilised cable ties specifically designed for solar farm cable management

UV-resistant PA11 cable tie

Our solar solutions, made from UV-resistant polyamide 11, last five to seven times longer than a standard solar clamp with a UV rating. Parts made from UV-stabilised plastic, along with other stabilisers, can significantly increase the lifespan of these products. In fact, some plastic compounds can last 15 to 25 years. Choosing engineering plastics designed to perform in solar components will certainly pay off. Additionally, UV-stabilised cable ties remain functional and reliable under intense sunlight, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring greater safety by preventing degradation from prolonged exposure to UV rays.

Battery-powered cable tie gun for solar farm cable management

The CPK hybrid cable tie gun is a fast and flexible battery and mains-powered cable bundling tool designed for use in solar panel installations. It features five tension settings and three quality settings, and can be powered by a fast-charging 18-volt battery from CAS or
from grid power. With five tension settings, you can tailor the tension precisely to your needs, ensuring secure bundling without overtightening or damaging the solar panel wiring.

This cable tie gun enables you to bundle cables quickly, with maximum cycle times of just 0.65 seconds. Not only does this reduce the time and effort spent on solar system installations, but it also decreases waste by collecting the cut-offs as you work. Enjoy extended operational time with the reliable battery power, minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent performance in demanding solar environments. Plus, with its max binding time, you can complete tasks faster, reducing overall labor costs and speeding up solar panel project timelines.

The effect of UV radiation on cable tie performance

In order to better understand the effects of UV radiation on different kinds of plastic used in cable ties, HellermannTyton commissioned the Fraunhofer Institute (ISE) to conduct a series of tests under natural and accelerated conditions in Central Germany and in the Negev Desert in Israel.

Inefficiencies due to unsuitable cable management systems can lead to increased maintenance and downtime, jeopardize overall installation efficiency, and may endanger personnel. The outcome will be higher cost both financially and in terms of safety.

The white paper explains how the tests were conducted and presents the results for different types of plastic ties, underscoring the need for operators and installers to carefully consider materials and conditions when choosing retainers.
