Wire Rope Clips U-type is a commonly used fastener, mainly used to fix the end of the wire rope or connect two wire ropes. They usually consist of a U-bolt, a saddle and two nuts, and can be made of forged or malleable iron.
Stainless Steel (304/316): Offers superior corrosion resistance and is suitable for moist or corrosive environments. The 316 grade has additional molybdenum, providing even better corrosion resistance, especially in marine applications.
Carbon Steel: Provides good strength and is the most common material for bolts. It may require additional surface treatments like galvanizing for increased corrosion resistance.
Alloy Steel: Offers enhanced strength and durability. It is often used in high-stress applications where high tensile strength is required.
Advantage:
Forged U-shaped wire rope clamps are made of high-strength steel and are suitable for critical, heavy-duty lifting operations.
Proper installation ensures that the wire rope clamps will not slip or fail under load, providing a high degree of safety.The U-shaped design allows for quick installation and adjustment, making on-site operations more efficient. Finishes such as galvanized or stainless steel provide additional corrosion protection for outdoor or harsh environments.
Scope of Application
Lifting and hoisting: Used in cranes, winches and other equipment to fix wire ropes and form reliable hoisting rings or connection points. Construction and engineering: used on construction sites to fix scaffolding, support structures or as tension ropes. Marine and shipping: for fixing mooring cables or towing operations on ships. Industrial applications: in factories and warehouses, for securing machinery or moving materials.
