Wire rope clamp, also commonly known as wire rope clamp, rope clamp or U-shaped clamp, is a fastener specifically used to connect and secure wire ropes. The following is a detailed description of the wire rope clamp:
1, Structural characteristics
1. Basic components:
Steel wire rope clamps are usually composed of U-bolts (also known as clamp bodies), nuts, and pressure plates (sometimes referred to as saddles).
The U-bolt has two parallel legs, forming a U-shaped groove between them to accommodate the steel wire rope.
The pressure plate is located in the U-shaped groove and is fastened to the U-shaped bolt with a nut to clamp the steel wire rope.
2. Material selection:
Steel wire rope clamps are usually made of high-strength steel, such as carbon steel or alloy steel, to ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity and durability.
The surface may undergo galvanizing or spray coating treatment to improve its anti-corrosion performance.
3. Specification and model:
There are various specifications and models of wire rope clamps to adapt to wire ropes of different diameters.
The specifications and models are usually divided based on the diameter of the steel wire rope and the load-bearing capacity of the clamp.
2, Function and Function
1. Connection fixation:
The main function of the wire rope clamp is to connect and fix the wire rope, ensuring that the wire rope will not slip or loosen under force.
It is suitable for temporary or permanent wire rope connections, such as lifting, traction, tensioning, and other occasions.
2. Disperse pressure:
The design of the pressure plate can disperse the pressure on the steel wire rope and avoid damage to the steel wire rope due to excessive local compression.
3. Easy to install and disassemble:
The installation and disassembly of steel wire rope clamps are relatively simple, only requiring the use of a wrench or torque wrench.
This makes it very practical in situations where frequent replacement or adjustment of steel wire ropes is required.
3, Precautions for use
1. Choose the appropriate specifications and models:
Select the appropriate specifications and models of wire rope clamps based on the diameter and load-bearing capacity of the wire rope.
Ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the card head meets the practical application requirements.
2. Correct installation:
When installing the wire rope clamp, ensure that the wire rope is in a straight line to avoid bending or twisting.
Place the steel wire rope into the U-shaped groove, clamp it with a pressure plate, and tighten it with a nut.
Ensure that the nut is securely fastened in place, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the wire rope or clamp.
3. Regular inspection:
Regularly inspect the wire rope clamps to ensure they are in good working condition.
If the card head is found to be loose, damaged, or the steel wire rope is severely worn, it should be replaced or repaired in a timely manner.
