Cable Clip Application
Recommended Method of Application of Cable Clips
1. Turn back the specified amount of rope from the
thimble. Apply the first clip one
base width from the
dead end of the
wire rope. Place the U-bolt over the
dead end; the
live end rests in the clip saddle. Tighten the nuts evenly to the recommended torque.
2. Apply the next clip as near the loop as possible.Turn on nuts firm, but do not tighten.
3. Space additional clips, if required, equally between the first two. Turn on nuts, take up any rope slack, and tighten all nuts evenly to the recommended torque.
4. Apply the initial load and re-tighten the nuts to recommended torque. The rope will stretch and shrink in diameter when loads are applied. Inspect the clips periodically and re-tighten.
Recommended torque values are based on the threads being clean, dry and free of lubrication.
IMPORTANT: Failure to make termination in accordance with instructions, or failure to check the recommended torque periodically and re-tighten, will cause a reduction in the efficiency ratings of the clips.
