Heavy Duty Aluminium Cable Saddle, for cables in single formation. The Ellis Centaur cable cleat has been designed, developed, tested and manufactured in accordance with IEC 61914 (cable cleats for electrical installations). Centaur cable saddles are designed to support cable with diameters from 100mm to 162mm. Centaur consists of an extruded and pressed aluminium saddle and a hinged aluminium over strap. The curvature of the saddle accommodates the thermal expansion of the cable and the ends of the saddle are flared so the cable never comes into contact with a sharp edge under any circumstances. The over strap incorporates a low smoke and zero halogen (LSOH) material liner. All the fixing bolts are grade A4-70 stainless steel. To eliminate the possibility of galvanic corrosion all dissimilar metals are isolated from each other by injection moulded separation washers. Centaur saddles are available in lengths of 400, 600 and 800mm to allow for different cable diameters and mounting centres. Centaur can be supplied with a variety of rigid or flexible mounting arrangements.

As well as company news, we’ve decided to start adding blogs from the technical team to this section of the website in order to give you an insight into the engineering expertise and industry know-how that goes into keeping Ellis at the forefront of the global cable cleats market. In this second blog, mechanical engineering, Harry Taylor looks tackles the topic of cable system design for thermal expansion.
Cable cleats designed and manufactured in Yorkshire by Ellis have been specified and installed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) at the Fort Randall dam in Pickstown, South Dakota.
Cable cleat manufacturer, Ellis has secured a second specification for a National Grid project that is ensuring the continuation of a safe and secure electricity supply to Greater Manchester.
Centaur cable saddles designed and manufactured by the world’s leading cable cleat manufacturer, Ellis have been installed to secure two separate high voltage (HV) cables in a power tunnel in the West Flemish region of Belgium.
World renowned cable cleat specialist, Ellis has once again utilised its in-house expertise to design and manufacture a project specific product that secured them a major specification.
