Introduction to cable clamps
Cable clamps are specially designed fixing solutions that hold cables securely in place without damaging them. They are available in different materials and designs to meet all requirements. In industrial applications and on construction sites, these cable clamps are particularly important for protecting cables from mechanical loads and extreme environmental influences. Our range of clamps includes various cable clamps, which we would like to present here. The development started with classic pipe clamps. However, as these with pre-tension and gripped inner surface are not suitable for more sensitive lines such as hoses and cables, we have developed them further.
The STAUFF online shop now offers a wide range of clamps that are ideal for fastening cables. We present their various properties and advantages.
Our first choice: clamps from the standard series
STAUFF clamps from the standard series in accordance with DIN 3015 (Part 1) are the first choice for fastening cables. This is a long-established technology that has been developed for particularly challenging tube and hose fastening in mobile and industrial hydraulics. Clamps from the standard series cover an extensive diameter range from 3.2 mm without any gaps. By selecting the right clamps from the standard series, this range also optimally covers the fastening of cables.
If cables are also fastened with STAUFF clamps in applications in which they are already used for tube and hose fastening, this ensures standardised processes during installation, reduces the need to keep different types of clamps in stock and ensures a uniform and professional appearance of the system.
Choosing the right clamp body
For cable fastening, it is essential to select clamp bodies in the smooth version and without pre-tension so that the cable is not crushed during installation. Clamp bodies of this design have rounded edges so that cables are not peeled off or otherwise damaged during axial movement ("slipping" through the clamp), for example.
Preferably, plastic clamp bodies made of glass fibre reinforced polyamide should be used for cable fastening, as the black cable clamps generally have the best resistance to various environmental influences.
Fastening options for STAUFF cable clamps
Various fastening accessories are available for all clamps in the standard series. All clamp bodies mentioned are compatible with the extensive range of fastening accessories offered in the standard series. Cable clamps can also be installed without a weld plate and cover plate - unlike recommended in most applications for hydraulic pipe clamps. They are then bolted directly to the system using hexagon socket screws, for example, making them screw-on cable clamps. As an alternative to direct mounting, they can also be used with rail nuts and support rails. This combination allows several cable clamps to be fastened simultaneously to a mounting rail that is welded or screwed to the system. Subsequent positioning and the addition and removal of individual cables is possible at any time when using support rails.
Areas of application for STAUFF cable clamps
Cables are often routed using simple clamps or cable ties. At STAUFF, we believe that the biggest and best application for our cable clamps is where our components are used anyway: In mechanical and plant engineering, where pipe clamps, hose clamps and other components are already in use. Here it also makes sense to guide and fasten cables with our reinforced systems. Not only to create a uniform appearance, but also to install a simple, secure and flexible fastening. In this way, you and we can avoid cable clutter - as shown on the right.
Other cable clamps in our range
For applications where the classic cable clamp from the standard series is not sufficient, there are of course alternatives in our range. In addition to extensions and other versions of the standard series, there are also special clamps that have been developed for specific industries and applications.

CHC cable clamps
If cables are bundled in thermoplastic corrugated conduits, type CHC clamp bodies are used in the standard series. A single circumferential internal rib prevents corrugated conduits from slipping through. With the appropriate inserts, CHC clamps can also be used directly for cable fastening.
Double cable clamps
If two cables have to be fastened next to each other, clamps from the double series in accordance with DIN 3015 (Part 3) are ideal. Here too, clamp bodies made of glass fibre-reinforced polyamide (PA black) with a smooth inner surface without pre-tensioning are preferable.
Multi-Line clamps
Multi-Line clamps can also be used as cable clamps. These clamps are characterised by a practical multiple clamp body, which can be used to fasten up to 6 cables simultaneously. This makes installation considerably easier.
Lightweight cable clamps
Also in our range and suitable for fastening cables are clamps from the lightweight series. There are 3 categories in our online shop:
- Lightweight construction clamps type LB / LBG / LBU
- Lightweight construction clamps type LN / LNGF / LNUF
- Lightweight construction clamps type LBBU
Clamps in these categories have a simple design and offer a quick and easy solution for cable fastening. The cable clamps are also screwable: after the cable is inserted into the clamp, it is closed and fastened to the structure with a simple screw (M6).
WPC: Wind force clamps
Wind power clamps type WPC were specially developed for fastening low and medium-voltage cables in wind turbines. They are therefore also cable clamps - but for a special application that initially has nothing to do with hydraulics. It is an example of how we customise our range to meet specific requirements and respond to the needs of our customers.

Frequently asked questions about cable clamps
Where are STAUFF cable clamps used?
What are the advantages of STAUFF cable clamps compared to cable clips and cable ties?
Cable clips offer a permanently stable fastening that does not weaken under high mechanical loads and extreme temperatures. Cable ties do not offer the same stability and flexibility. At the same time, they can be installed in such a way that cables are not damaged or can become tangled.
Which material is the best choice for my cable fastening?
As cables usually only need to be guided and are not dependent on pressure in the system or similar - as is the case with hoses, for example - clamps made of lightweight materials are completely sufficient. STAUFF cable clamps are usually made of polyamide or polypropylene. Depending on the application, positioning and external circumstances, we will be happy to advise you on the right choice of components for your system.
Does STAUFF also have metal cable clamps and stainless steel cable clamps?
Our large range includes metal clamps as well as round and flat steel brackets. However, we do not recommend using metal cable clamps and stainless steel cable clamps. There are two simple reasons for this: Firstly, using stainless steel and other metals can damage the cable more quickly due to sharp edges. Secondly, metal and stainless steel clamps would usually be oversized and heavier than necessary, as cables are not under as much strain as pipes, for example.
What cable diameters can be fastened with STAUFF cable clamps?
STAUFF cable clamps from the standard series in accordance with DIN 3015 (Part 1) cover a wide range of diameters, starting at 3.2 mm. Depending on the design, larger diameters are also possible. Other types of clamps are available for special requirements.
Are there cable clamps with special protection against vibrations?
Yes, STAUFF offers special versions with vibration-damping properties. By selecting the right materials, such as rubberised inserts or special plastic compounds, the cable is protected against mechanical stress caused by vibrations.
Are STAUFF cable clamps UV-resistant and suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, especially the black cable clamps made of glass fibre-reinforced polyamide are UV-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. Metal cable clamps made of stainless steel are also available for extreme conditions.
How does the choice of clamp body affect the service life of the cable?
The wrong choice can lead to crushing or abrasion. STAUFF therefore recommends using smooth clamp bodies without pre-tensioning. Rounded edges and flexible materials reduce the mechanical load on the cable and extend its service life.
Are STAUFF cable clamps also suitable for high-temperature applications?
Yes, depending on the choice of material, the clamps are suitable for high temperatures. Plastic clamps made from special polyamides can withstand temperatures of up to 150°C, while metal or stainless steel clamps can withstand even higher temperatures.
How are cable clamps installed correctly to prevent damage to cables?
The cables should always be fastened with smooth, rounded clamp bodies without pretension. Direct mounting with screws is possible; alternatively, mounting rails can be used to facilitate subsequent adjustment.
