Steel wire rope clamps/clips
Steel wire rope cleats are essential components used to secure and firmly fix the ends of steel wire ropes, and find applications in various industries such as construction, shipping, and lifting.
Technical specifications :
-
Materials :
- Made from carbon steel or stainless steel to ensure strength and resistance to rust and corrosion.
- A surface coated with zinc or galvanized to withstand harsh weather conditions.
-
Design :
- The cleat usually consists of two parts:
-
The bow (U-Bolt) : The curved part that surrounds the rope.
-
The base (Saddle) : The lower part that is secured using nuts.
-
Common sizes :
The sizes are determined according to the diameter of the steel cable used. These include:
- 1/8 inch (3 mm)
- 3/16 inch (5 mm)
- 1/4 inch (6 mm)
- 5/16 inch (8 mm)
- 3/8 inch (10 mm)
- 1/2 inch (12 mm)
- 5/8 inch (16 mm)
- 3/4 inch (19 mm)
- 1 inch (25 mm)
-
Uses :
- Secure the ends of the steel ropes to form strong eye loops.
- Securing the ropes used for lifting, pulling, and tying.
- It is used in marine, engineering, and construction works.
-
Types :
-
Standard cleats : for general use.
-
Stainless steel cleats : Ideal for use in wet or marine environments.
How to choose the right cleats :
- Choose the clamps based on the diameter of the steel cable .
- Make sure the cleats are made of a corrosion-resistant material if they will be used in harsh environments.
- Use the correct number of cleats to ensure safety (2-3 cleats per rope are usually recommended).
Usage tips :
- Place the saddle on the supporting side of the rope, while the bow is on the free end to avoid loss of strength.
- Tighten the nuts evenly to ensure the force is distributed correctly.
- Periodically check the tightness of the cleats to avoid them becoming loose.
