Drop Forged Traditional Style Wire Rope Clip & Drop Forged Fist Grip Style Wire Rope Clip
1) Loop Formation:
The wire rope is bent to form a loop, and the loose (dead) end is positioned parallel to the standing (load-bearing) part.
The wire rope clip is installed over both parts of the rope.
2) Proper Placement:
The saddle is placed on the live (load-bearing) side of the rope.
The U-bolt is positioned over the dead end of the rope.
This configuration ensures that the live side of the rope isn't damaged or flattened by the U-bolt.
3) Clamping:
The nuts on the U-bolt are tightened to clamp the rope between the U-bolt and the saddle.
Multiple clips are often used to ensure a secure hold, especially for high-load applications. The number and spacing of clips depend on the rope's diameter.
4) Load Testing:
After installation, the assembly should be load-tested to ensure the clips are tight and the rope is secure.
