What is a Stainless Steel Wire Rope Clip?
Also termed as a clamp, wire rope clamp,
U-clip or U-clamp, a stainless steel wire rope clip is used for fixing
up the loose end of the loop back to the wire rope. Usually, it consists
of a U-shaped bolt, a forged saddle and two nuts.
How to use wire rope clips properly?
Inspecting the wire rope clip before use
First of all, the wire rope clips must be
inspected well before using them which will make sure that all the
markings are legible, the clip is free from any cracks, gouges or nicks,
the clip has the correct dimension, and the clip is not a repaired or
reshaped one as it affects the performance.
The wire rope clip bridge must be placed
on the load bearing part of the rope always and the U-bolt must be
placed at the dead end of the rope. Now the wire rope length needs to be
turned back enough so that the minimum required number of clips can be
installed to it.
The first clip must be placed at one
bridge width distance from the turned back dead end of the rope and then
the nuts must be tightened according to the specified torque.
Now, after successfully placing the first
clip, the second clip needs to be positioned immediately against the
stainless steel thimble but in such a point that while tightening the
clip it doesn’t create any damage at the outer wires of the wire rope
after which the nuts need to be tightened firmly but not to the
specified torque.
Lastly, one more clip must be placed
between the first and second clip on the wire rope in such a way that
they are separated by at least 1½ times the clip width. Now a light
tension needs to be applied to the rope and tighten the nuts evenly
alternating until the specified torque is reached.
