What Is a Wire Rope Clip and What Is It Used For?

1
What Is a Wire Rope Clip and What Kind Is It?

• The wire rope clip is a highly adaptable
  mechanical device that can be used to support and
  move objects or loads. It is critical to have a
  thorough understanding of the rigging components
  used to attach and lift loads, whether in cranes
  or other lifting applications.
• As a wire rope clamp manufacturer, it is
  necessary for me to inform you about the various
  types of wire rope end terminations. This article
  will explain what a wire rope clip is and the
  different types of wire rope clamps.

What Exactly is a Wire Rope Clip?

• Wire rope clips can be used to create a
  load-bearing loop at the end of a cable or wire
  rope, or to connect two cables using a lap joint.
  Wire rope clips are popular because they can be
  installed in the field and provide 80-90 rope
  breaking strength efficiency, depending on the
  diameter of the wire rope.

Wire Rope Clamps Can Be Used In The Following
Situations

• The end of a wire rope attached to a crane cable
  or winch.
• A rope section threaded through the ring bolt or
  shackle
• Docks, parking lots, and so on have peripheral
  cables.

Wire Rope Clamp Types

• Wire rope clamps are classified into two
  types U-Bolt and Double Saddle Clamps. The most
  common are u-bolt wire rope clamps, which can be
  made of forged or malleable metal.

• Rope Clamps with U-BoltsThis wire rope clamp
  consists of a U-bolt, two nuts, and a metal base
  (saddle) made of forged or cast iron. The
  installation of the U-bolt type rope clamp
  requires careful thought and attention.
• Clamps for Forged Wire RopeThe wire rope clamps
  base is made of forged steel. Forged clamps are
  heated and hammered to form, resulting in a
  consistent grain structure in the steel. Winch
  lines, crane lifting lines, support lines,
  pulling ropes, traction lines, lanyards,
  scaffolding, and other critical heavy overhead
  loads are secured with forged wire rope clamps.

• Clamps for Malleable Wire RopeMalleable wire
  rope clips are only used to make loop eye
  terminal assemblies with the correct conventional
  twist pitch wire rope and are only used in
  lighter applications with lower loads, such as
  handrails, fences, and guardrails. Wire rope clip
  bases are made of malleable cast iron, which can
  fracture under heavy use and lacks the desirable
  metallic properties of steel as well as the
  beneficial grain structure of forged bases.
• Clamps for Double Saddle RopeDouble saddle rope
  clamps are made up of two saddles and two nuts,
  each with one leg and two nuts at the top and
  bottom. When applied to both the charged and dead
  ends of a wire rope, double saddle wire rope
  clamps can be used in either direction, removing
  the guesswork from the installation process.
