Drop Forge Clips
Warnings and Application
Instructions
If a pulley (Sheave) is used, in place of a thimble add
one additional clip. Clip spacing should be as shown.
WIRE ROPE SPLICING PROCEDURES:
The preferred method of splicing two wire ropes together
is to use interlocking turnback eyes with himbles, using
the recommended number of clips on each eye (See
Figure 1).
An alternate method is to use twice the number of clips as
used for a turnback termination. The rope ends are
placed parallel to each other, overlapping by twice the
turnback amount shown in the application instructions.
The minimum number of clips should be installed on each
dead end (See Figure 2). Spacing, installation torque, and
other instructions still apply.
IMPORTANT
Apply first load to test the assembly. This load should be
of equal or greater weight than loads expected in use.
Next, check and retighten nuts to recommended torque.
In accordance with good rigging and maintenance practices,
the wire rope end termination should be inspected
periodically for wear, abuse, and general adequacy.
