How to Keep Your Cables Secure

Image
  Smarter Cable Management with Clamps and Clips Managing cables doesn’t have to mean bundling them tightly with cable ties. In fact, there are smarter, more versatile solutions that provide better security, organization, and longevity — and those are cable clamps and clips. With the vast variety of cables in the market — differing in size, material, flexibility, and purpose — identifying the right securing method can feel overwhelming. That’s where cable clamps and clips come in, offering a customizable, reliable solution for virtually every application. Why Use Clamps and Clips Instead of Cable Ties? While cable ties are quick to apply, they don’t offer adjustability or long-term flexibility. Clamps and clips , on the other hand, can: Accommodate different cable shapes and sizes Offer reusability and repositioning Reduce the risk of damaging cables Enable a cleaner, more professional installation Choose the Right Clamp or Clip for the Job Depending on your env...

ecosyn®-fix and the Electronics Industry

Image
At Bossard , simpler is often better. Our goal is to streamline your processes and offer more efficient products, and the ecosyn®-fix screw is a perfect example.  This particular fastener was originally designed specifically for joints in electrical equipment, in addition to small and major appliances. For the purposes of this blog post, let’s focus on how the ecosyn®-fix screw can be beneficial to the electronics industry.  What is the biggest benefit of the ecosyn®-fix washer head screw?   Just a single part has to be bought, stocked, transported, and assembled. This is a screw, a flat washer, and a lock washer all in one. This one screw can streamline your process and provide a more economical solution.  Your standard machine screw with large washers has nothing on the ecosyn®-fix.  Did we also mention the large conical washer surface?  This area possesses a certain spring effect against loss of pre-load. With an increase in friction, there is a great...
