Duplex wire rope clip 8mm, M8, stainless steel, A4

Purpose of Use:

The Duplex Wire Rope Clamp made of stainless steel is an essential fastening element for wire ropes and cables, specifically designed to securely fix rope ends and create endless loops or connections. Its main purpose is to provide stable, vibration-resistant connections in demanding environments such as outdoor areas, construction sites, or marine settings. Thanks to the corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it is particularly suitable for use in humid or saline environments. The clamp is designed for wire ropes with diameters from 3 to 10 mm and complies with standards such as DIN 741.

How It Works:

The Duplex Wire Rope Clamp operates through a double U-shaped structure that encloses the rope end twice, ensuring even pressure distribution. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. Preparation: Measure the rope end to the required length (at least 2–3 times the rope diameter for the overhang). Bend the rope end into a loop or connection as needed.
2. Positioning: Place the rope end parallel to the main rope in the Duplex Clamp. The U-shape of the clamp symmetrically encloses both rope parts – the "Duplex" principle ensures balanced fixation without twisting.
3. Tightening: Insert a suitable screw (usually M6–M10, depending on size) and tighten it hand-tight with a screwdriver or ratchet wrench. Ensure the rope doesn't slip.
4. Securing: Now tighten the screw to a torque of about 20–40 Nm (depending on rope diameter; check manufacturer specifications). The bolts press the U-shape together, deforming the rope mechanically and creating a secure clamping action through friction and displacement.
5. Inspection: Visually check the connection and test it with a light pull. If necessary, multiple clamps can be combined to increase load capacity.

The assembly takes only 1–2 minutes per clamp and requires no special tools. Important: Always wear protective gear and do not exceed the maximum load (e.g., 80% of the rope's breaking strength).

Examples of Use Cases:

• Garden and Leisure: Securing hammocks, swings, or plant trellises – the stainless steel clamp holds up in wind, weather, and humidity. Example: A 6-mm Duplex Clamp easily secures a 50-kg hammock.
• Transport and Logistics: Securing loads on trailers or pallets; prevents shifting on bumpy roads. Example: In agriculture, it fixes hay bale ropes to tractors.
• Marine Applications: Thanks to its corrosion resistance, ideal for use on boats or in coastal areas, e.g., for securing rigging or bow fenders.
• Industry and Construction: Creating temporary rope pulls for scaffolding or as holders for banners on job sites. Example: In solar panel installation, it serves as a stable end anchor for tension ropes.
• DIY Projects: In boat building for bow fenders or in fitness for homemade pull-up bars – always where ropes need to be precisely and securely connected.

With the Duplex Wire Rope Clamp made of stainless steel, every project becomes a breeze: Secure, efficient, and durable, even in challenging environments. Try it out and experience the difference!
