Malleable Galvanized Drop Forged Wire Rope Cable Clips

Description

Galvanized Drop Forged Wire Rope Clip.
Wire rope clips are fittings used to make an eye or join two cable or wire rope ends together. They are a simple fitting that can be installed in the shop or in the field. The intended application for the wire rope or cable should determine which type to use.
For important or critical applications and if to be used in overhead lifting or suspending, always use standard drop forged type and drop forged fist grip type clips. Never use a malleable iron type clip for these applications.
The components of wire rope clips are the saddle, the bolt(s) and the nuts.
Forging is the practice of heating a piece of steel and hammering it to shape. Doing this gives the steel linear grain structure and greater strength. In the drop forged clips, the saddles are the parts that are drop forged. The saddles of iron clips are made from a grade of steel with poorer strength qualities and is cast into shape and therefore, has a granular microstructure and not linear.. In general, forging is stronger than a casting.
For clips to work properly and gain their design efficiency , both the minimum number of clips required and the nuts must be torqued to the prescribed foot/pound rating.
