Wire Clamp ZP

Product Introduction

• Standard Name: Wire/Cable Clamp (ZP Coated).

• Common Names: Galvanized Wire/Cable Clamp, Wire Retaining Clip, Cable Clamp.

• Product Definition: A mechanical clamping device used to secure and organize wires, cables, or conduits. Typically features mounting holes for installation via bolts or screws onto equipment, panels, or structures, enabling wire harness fastening, support, and routing. The “ZP” surface treatment provides rust resistance, making it suitable for general industrial environments indoors and outdoors.

Wire Clamp ZP Key Features

• Zinc Plated (ZP) Coating: Provides basic rust protection and a bright silver finish, enhancing corrosion

  resistance, suitable for indoor or mildly humid environments.

• U-shaped Clamp Design: U-bolt with saddle and nuts, encircling the wire rope for a secure grip; standard

  U-shape ensures even pressure distribution.

• Material and Strength: Commonly made of carbon steel or forged steel, high-strength design suitable

  for heavy loads; conforms to DIN 741 or EN 13411-5 standards.

• Diverse Specifications: Diameters M3-M40 (suitable for 3-40mm wire ropes), typically used with 2-3

  clamps for safety.

• Advantages: Simple installation, removable, cost-effective, and strong gripping force, but requires

  correct torque and quantity to prevent slippage.

Working Principle

• Wrap-around Installation: The U-bolt passes through the saddle, encircling the main wire rope and the

  dead end.

• Tightening and Fixing: When the nuts are tightened, the U-bolt presses against the saddle, generating

  radial clamping force.

• Frictional Grip: The saddle evenly distributes pressure, preventing the wire rope from slipping; the zinc

  plating reduces friction and provides corrosion protection.

• Multiple Clamps for Enhancement: Usually 2-3 clamps are used in series to ensure safety; the principle

  involves frictional grip and mechanical interlocking.

Product Applications

• Lifting and Hoisting: Forming rope eyes for lifting heavy objects, using multiple clamps for safety.

• Construction Engineering: Securing suspension rods, railings, or safety ropes, providing temporary or

  permanent connections.

• Marine and Offshore: Securing wire rope rigging; zinc plating is suitable for mild exposure.

• Industrial Equipment: Fastening conveyor lines, elevators, or mechanical pull ropes.

• General Fixing: Connecting wire ropes in fences, swings, or outdoor projects.
