Cable clamps

A cable clamp - is a flat or arc-shaped fastening product used to clamp ropes, cables, and ropes in order to fix them.

Types and characteristics of clamps

Clamps, as a rule, are made in the form of brackets (arcs) with nuts and a platform for fastening. A special notch allows you to thread a cable or rope into it and fix it. The cable is clamped using a blocker (locker), which must correspond to the diameter of the cable that extends into the clamp. But there are also other designs of these products.

Several main types of clamps are distinguished by shape and design features:

• flat clamps (consist of two flat plates connected by a nut);
• crimping clamps (most often used in the construction of elevators and lifting equipment);
• screw clamps (for lifting and rigging work).

They also distinguish:

• single clamps (simplex);
• double clamps (duplex).

Clamps are made of stainless or carbon steel, brass, aluminum. The steel cable clamp is produced in accordance with the DIN 1142 standard, the aluminum cable clamp - in accordance with the DIN 3093 standard.

Rules for using clamps

• Compliance with safety rules. This is an important factor not only when working with clamps. Before starting installation and operation of fasteners, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the instructions and recommendations for their use.

• Study of labeling. Be sure to pay attention to the correspondence of the sizes of the used clamps with the sizes of the cables that they will fix. And also check whether they are suitable for performing this or that type of work.

• Checking the appearance of the fastener. There should be no cracks or other damage on the clamps, otherwise it may have unpleasant consequences.

When the points are met, you can start work. All nuts must be tightened to the stop so that the cable clamp is maximum. As a rule, the fastening is made with the help of several clamp connections, so it should be checked that they are all located and fixed equally firmly. After all, even one clip that is not firmly fixed can lead to a break.
