Better Way To Hold Coil Cables In Place

[kac]

I change coils on my machines quite a bit, always hated the way velcro twists around. I also lost a couple of coils from Nel and Mars as their connectors aren't all that sturdy and the heavy cable wire likes to bunch up which eventually breaks the connections inside the strain reliefs. Something for you guys to think about when winding the cables on the shafts.

I came up with a cleat and cast a bunch out of urethane so they are gentle on the wires. So far cleats are working really well for me. I will be shipping a batch out on monday but figured I would post what they look like for those that may want something better. Not sure how well they will work on 3 section shaft systems like the 900 and Manticore have. I have to check that out.

Used my initials for the name to add that touch of cheesiness 🙂

Questions, comments etc all welcome.

Thanks

   Should work quite well at keeping the stress off the coupling interface! Simple but functional design! Another fine product from KC!🍀👍👍

I agree. Good job engineering these.

That looks like a good idea 💡 

Where are you selling them?

I have a small batch going to Backwoods Detectors. Still sorting pricing as shipping slaughtered me on materials.
