Our strapping edge protectors are designed to keep loads from being torn, bent and dented by strapping.

This will cover the full range of circumferences they can extend to, meaning that you will need to make sure the diameter of whatever you are clamping will fit comfortably within this rating. Tightening the bolt with a hex drive pulls in the hose clip from both directions, and keeps it gripped securely in place. Although they can both be used to secure straps and other items, there are a few differences that set them apart.Made from metal or nylon, they are essentially a beefed-up cable tie and are intended for use in situations where the strap needs to be fully opened before being placed around whatever they are securing.

Jubilee clip pressure ratings refer to the maximum sustainable force that the tightened band can transmit and hold once tightened in place around a workpiece.We also offer our own in-house range of RS PRO band clamps, giving you the freedom to select the product best suited to your requirements. The sealing process is crucial to achieve the strength required and each step should be taken with care. Jubilee clamp specification will be found on the packaging or manufacturer guidelines, and normally covers a range of different ratings for each clip type and model. It is used for general manual strapping and is compatible with sherardised steel and plastic buckles. These generally include information such as capacity/opening sizes, clamping widths (the min-max extent of the clamping jaws themselves), and the maximum safe clamping or holding force.

So in this outlined example, clips would be a better choice as there are less chances to damage the cables during the application of the banding strap.

Being made of robust plastics, they are ideal for indoor and outdoor applications in industries such as marine, medical, food, automotive, agricultural, electrical, and white goods manufacturer and repair.

Banding buckles are also more secure than banding clips as they are often secured in place using a unique locking mechanism. Plastic, stainless or galvanised versions are also common where the band clip is intended to be used outside, such as for marine Jubilee clips. Usually made from stainless steel, they feature a small bolt mounted across the top of the band and secured at either end.These banding clips are commonly used in conjunction with Bandfix® banding and a Bandfix® Banding Tool. For this reason, they are more commonly used in heavy-duty or industrial applications involving air or liquid media at high pressures. Hose clip materials can also affect how easy they are to install and remove, so do bear this in mind when selecting a product for a specific use. A large number of manufacturers often won’t make any direct comparisons between the stainless steel buckles and the stainless steel clips as they do not want to downplay any of their products.
