Wire rope clips, also known as cable clamps, are devices used to secure the ends of wire ropes together or to make an eye or loop on the end of a wire rope. There are several types of wire rope clips available, including:
U-Bolt Wire Rope Clips: These are the most commonly used type of wire rope clip. They consist of a U-shaped bolt, a saddle, and two nuts. The U-bolt is placed around the wire rope and the saddle is placed on top of the U-bolt. The nuts are then tightened to secure the wire rope in place.
Fist Grip Wire Rope Clips: These are similar to U-bolt wire rope clips, but have a different shape. They consist of a threaded bolt, a saddle, and two nuts. The bolt is inserted through the saddle and then around the wire rope. The nuts are tightened to secure the wire rope in place.
Simplex Wire Rope Clips: These consist of a single piece of metal that is bent into a U-shape. The wire rope is placed through the U-shaped section and then the two legs of the metal are bent around the wire rope to secure it in place.
Duplex Wire Rope Clips: These are similar to simplex wire rope clips, but have two legs that are bent around the wire rope. This provides extra strength and security.
Wedge Wire Rope Clips: These consist of a wedge-shaped piece of metal and a U-bolt. The wire rope is placed through the U-shaped section and then the wedge is inserted between the wire rope and the U-bolt. The nuts on the U-bolt are tightened to secure the wire rope in place.
It's important to select the right type of wire rope clip for the application, as different types of clips have different load ratings and capacities. It's also important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and use of wire rope clips.
