Wire Rope Clips

Wire rope clips, also known as cable clamps, can be quickly and easily installed on most job sites and are used to form load bearing end terminations in wire rope or hold together bundles of cables. Wire rope clips have an efficiency rating based on the catalog breaking strength of wire rope. Sizes 1/8″ through 7/8″ have an efficiency rating of 80% and sizes 1″ through 3-1/2″ have an efficiency rating of 90%. Remember to torque wire rope clips for maximum strength.

The most common type of wire rope clip is the U-bolt clip, composed of a U-shaped bolt, a saddle, and two nuts. Hercules SLR distributes drop forged and stainless steel variations of the standard U-bolt wire rope clip. Various sizes are available to accommodate wire ropes from 1/8″ to 3-1/2″. 

For heavy-duty, overhead, applications like winch lines, crane hoist lines, support lines, towing lines, or scaffolds, always use drop forged wire rope clips.
