How to apply Wire Rope Clips

When using U-bolt clips, it is important to make sure they are attached correctly. The "U" section is in contact with the rope's "dead end" and is clear of the thimble. The "live end", carrying the load, is gripped by the saddle of the clip.

Failure to make a termination in accordance with the instructions, or to check periodically and retighten to the recommended torque, will cause a reduction in efficiency rating.

"Never saddle a dead horse."

Wire Rope Thimbles
For use with wire rope clips and compression sleeves to protect cable from damage, wear and tear. Thimbles help to distribute the load over a larger area, thereby increasing the life of the cable.
