A malleable wire rope clip, also known as a malleable wire rope clamp, is a type of hardware used to secure the ends of wire ropes together or to create a loop in the wire rope.
Malleable wire rope clips are commonly used in various applications, such as rigging, construction, industrial, and marine settings.
- Light-duty clip, not for use in heavy-duty applications
- Galvanized finish for corrosion protection
- Meets Federal Specification FF-C-450, Type 1, Class 2
US Type Malleable Wire Rope Clip is produced according to Federal Specification FF-C-450 Type 1 Class 2. The clips can be zinc plated, hot-dip galvanized upon request. It’s also called wire rope clamp, U Clip, U Clamp, U Bolt, cable clamp, which is used to form the wire rope loop or eye.
Key Features Of Malleable Wire Rope Clip
1. Material: Malleable wire rope clips are typically made from malleable iron, which is a type of cast iron that has been heat-treated to increase its ductility and malleability. This material provides good strength and durability while maintaining some degree of flexibility.
2. U-Bolt Design: Like other wire rope clips, malleable wire rope clips have a U-bolt shape that allows the wire rope to pass through it.
3. Saddle Plate: The clips have a saddle plate that fits around the base of the U-bolt and sits on top of the wire rope.
4. Nuts: Two nuts are used to secure the U-bolt and saddle plate together, creating a tight grip on the wire rope.
The Installation
The installation of a U-clamp follows a specific process to ensure proper performance and safety. Here are the general steps:
1. Positioning: Position the U-clamp around the wire rope where the loop or connection is desired.
2. Saddle Placement: Place the saddle plate on top of the wire rope, centered over the U-bolt.
3. Nuts Installation: Screw the two nuts onto the threaded ends of the U-bolt and tighten them alternately. Ensure they are tightened to the specified torque, following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
4. Check Tightness: After installation, check the tightness of the nuts regularly, especially during the initial period of use and periodically thereafter, to ensure they remain secure.
