Ratchet P-Clamp Rugged bundle management for heavy duty applications

Simply made for the toughest conditions

Rugged bundle management for heavy duty applications You are always looking to reduce costs and streamline work flows. But to adopt a new component, it also needs to meet your needs for versatility, durability and ease of use – without compromising performance. The Ratchet P-Clamp’s patent-pending design makes it extremely versatile for managing wire harnesses and cables. Its rugged construction and specialized materials are perfect for heavy duty applications, indoors and outdoors. You close the one-piece adjustable clamp manually, exactly to the desired diameter. Audible clicks let you...

Simply versatile Versatility Working with a mix of wires and cable sizes? Need to route multiple bundles in parallel? Ratchet P-Clamp will secure a range of cables without changing any other part of your cable routing and management strategy. Multiple Sizes Four ratchet sizes accommodate hard line and soft cable bundles ranging from 6.2 mm to 51 mm in diameter. You can reduce your inventory with only a few adjustable P-Clamps. Multiple Configurations Stacking a short and long length together can give you up to four fixing points (one in each clamp and one in each cable tie saddle), using...

Multiple Mounting Options From slightly offset to raised off the frame or panel, and with various angles and mounting plate lengths, you can fix cables exactly where design specifications dictate. Each mounting plate option is offered in four angles (180°, 15°, 30° and 90°) and four different mounting hole diameters: M6 (6 mm), M8 (8 mm), M10 (10 mm) and M12 (12 mm).

Simply convenient

Ease of use No more struggling with grommets and two-piece designs that are difficult to handle. We also eliminated having to pry open the clamp when you need to reposition a bundle or change out the clamp. You can also use our EVO hand tools to secure the ratchet, if that is how you prefer to work. One-Piece Design, One-Touch Secure Our one-piece, solid body design is operated manually, clicking as it closes to let you know it is secure. You will also never have to put a clamp in place and struggle to mount it while holding the pieces together around the bundle. Releasability is one of...

Simply fitting

Alignment Because the clamp area is independent from the mounting plate, the design allows for preinstallation on frame rails and pre-assembly on wire harnesses. The advantage? Greater efficiencies that drive productivity and profitability. Pre-installation/Pre-assembly You can also attach Ratchet P-Clamps along wire harnesses to pre-assemble the harness before taking the next step. You will streamline the process and add production line workflow flexibility. Contoured clamp interior The contoured clamp interior helps to position and center cables or bundles as the clamp closes, minimizing...

Simply incredibly robust

Durability Whether you are assembling trucks or automobiles, manufacturing severe duty vehicles or wiring a solar farm, you will know that the cables will be secure, easy to maintain and functional for years to come. Robust materials Impact modified, heat and UV stabilized PA66 material clamp is extremely durable and will not abrade cables and hoses. There is no coating to wear off and the robust living hinge is engineered to far exceed any expected application requirements. Soft inserts Adding grommets or dipping metal P-Clamps in PVC has traditionally been the approach to making them less...

Simply configurable How to choose a Ratchet P-Clamp STEP 1: Determine bundle diameter. Match the bundle diameter range to the wire bundles you use. Size bundle diameter range A-Series 6.2 mm to 13.7 mm B-Series 12.7 mm to 19.5 mm C-Series 19.4 mm to 36.0 mm D-Series 36.0 mm to 51.0 mm STEP 2: Choose routing orientation/variant. Choose from 180° straight, 15°, 30° or 90° angles. STEP 3: Specify the length of the mounting plate. We designed the mounting plate specification to be equal to the distance from center of clamp to center of mounting hole. Some angles/variants are not offered in all...

Multiple configurations The wiring schemes in heavy duty applications become more complex day after day. Using a single mounting point, you can combine Ratchet P-Clamps to match the number, position and diameters of the wires or bundles inherent to today’s wire management challenges. You will see below just a few of the nearly endless number of configurations you can arrange by mixing Ratchet P-Clamps of varying sizes and different mounting plates. You can piggy-back Ratchet P-Clamps by using different length mounting plates to secure parallel cable configurations. Ratchet P-Clamp mounting...

Simply well thought-out

Features Integrated cable tie saddle provides a second fixing point. One-piece ratchet closure allows for easy installation, one-touch close. Impact modified, heat and UV stabilized PA66 plastic ensures long-term durability. Screwdriver release enables easy adjustments and maintenance. Contoured clamp interior is designed to guide and center bundle to reduce pinching. Tension tabs slide through this slot to facilitate closure using an EVO-Series hand tool. Interior rib design minimizes movement due to vibration. Mounting plates are available with M6, M8, M10 and M12 diameter hole sizes....

Cable Ties and FixingsCable Tie Mounts Ratchet P-Clamp For bundle diameters from 6.2 mm to 13.7 mm The Ratchet P-Clamp family offers versatility when managing wires, cables and hoses. The robust design and durable materials make it ideal for heavy duty applications, both in- and outdoors. The one-piece adjustable clamp can be closed by hand to the desired diameter. The release feature provides easy and nondestructive removal of cables simply by using a flat-head screwdriver. This nondestructive release allows the clamp to be reused without removing or replacing any bolts or screws. The...
