Hardware Essentials 3/16 in. Zinc-Plated Wire Rope Clip

Description:

Wire rope clips consist of a U-shaped body with a saddle that grips the wire rope, and a securing bolt that clamps the rope in place.

They are typically made of galvanized or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

Wire rope clips come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different wire rope diameters.

Purpose and Usage:

Wire rope clips are used to create a permanent, non-adjustable connection at the end of a wire rope.

They are commonly used in applications like lifting, hoisting, rigging, and securing loads where a strong, reliable wire rope termination is required.

Proper installation of the wire rope clip is critical to ensure the connection can withstand the intended loads and stresses.

Key Features:

The curved saddle grips the wire rope to prevent slippage.

The securing bolt tightens the clip around the rope, locking it in place.

Multiple clips are often used in series to create an even stronger termination.

Wire rope clips are reusable, unlike some other wire rope termination methods.
