Wire Form Shields & Bushings to Meet the Needs of Diverse Market Sectors and Industries

There are many differing requirements for wire form shields & bushings and for wire form shields designed for use with bushings or to protect electrical wiring, cables or other parts of electrical systems.  The design of shields are dependent on a particular industry or the intended use for of these types of wire forms.  Many manufacturers utilize shields and/or bushings for use in the automotive industry (motors and electrical systems), for heat shields, protective shields for cables and wires, for use with electrical connections, splices, connectors, ends and terminals (you can learn more about our automotive wire forms or learn more about our automotive stampings).

Other industries utilize these types of products in residential and commercial construction work, wiring and cabling, add protective guards or plates (Stud Guards and Stud Plates) that comply with U.S. electrical codes to protect wiring, conduits or connections from accidental damage—the most frequent uses are for electrical wiring inside walls and behind drywall, so, later Plumbing & Electrical work, later HVAC installation or repair work, or later commercial Repair and Maintenance Operations (MRO) work may need the added safety for repair personnel as well as protecting electrical wiring from accidental damage.

Other industries utilize shields & bushings in electronics, audio, video and electrical cabling, connectors for cabling, for aviation uses (learn more about our Aerospace Hardware supply), for machinery and equipment of all sizes including manufacturing or heavy industrial machinery, or the automotive sector, industrial and manufacturing applications, general hardware supply and resale.   Other markets such as general hardware supply sells wire forms with fairly mundane applications such as sheaths on fasteners, small protective metal stampings, shaft bushings, or even for anchor bolt sleeves.  The primary requirements are protective, but there is also frequently a need to deal with electricity, thus the shields offer resistance or conductivity to usually low-level electrical currents.

Some of the varied designs, sizes and shapes of shields and/or bushing seam types (e.g. oval, round, tall and small designs, split seam, butt seams, etc.) offer you a wide selection of wire form designs.  These types of shields or basic stampings as well as associated bushings are used as heat shields for automotive parts, protective shields for wiring, ends, terminals, splices, connections, split seam spacers, cable shielding, cable wire shields, electrical wire shielding, other related shielding stampings/fabrications.  Other fabrication designs include: sheaths, shaft bushings, various fastener applications, sleeves for bolts or other hardware, or other designs intended to be used on their own, with assemblies, or for combinations that use both, specifically general shields & bushings.  Other related wire forms include inserts or shims that are used with other wire forms or components, general parts, other component assemblies even including motors, or with Contact Assemblies, or other cabling or wiring connection device(s), for instance.

We also stock Hanger Iron (e.g. Perforated Hanger Iron, Twist-Slot Hanger Bar, Tinner’s Tape), and other useful wire forms and protective guards, plates or shields for indoor wiring and cabling for commercial and residential construction use, commercial Maintenance and Repair Operations (MRO), HVAC (air conditioning, heating and general ventilation work and repair tasks), residential wiring, and many other market sectors.
