Wire rope clamp ZL-6 No name — steel cable fastening, model ZL-6

Wire rope clamp ZL-6 No name — steel cable fastening, model ZL-6 is a mechanical clamp designed to secure steel wire ropes and form looped terminations. The clamp provides a removable and reusable connection point for steel cables, enabling the creation of eyes, terminations, or temporary joints without permanently deforming the rope. Suitable for installation where adjustable or serviceable connections are needed, the clamp is compatible with standard steel wire rope sections used in lifting, rigging and tensioning applications.

Advantages

The clamp offers a straightforward mechanical design that allows quick assembly and disassembly using basic hand tools. Its construction is intended to distribute clamping force across the rope, helping to maintain cable integrity while providing a secure grip. Because the clamp is removable and reusable, it supports inspection and reconfiguration of wire rope assemblies without cutting or splicing. The product is suitable for repeated use in temporary or permanent setups where a non-permanent termination is preferable.

Suitable for

• Forming eyes and terminations on steel wire rope for lifting slings and rigging
• Tensioning and guy wire installations in construction and utility works
• Temporary or adjustable connections where later disassembly may be required
• Applications requiring reuse of existing cable without cutting or splicing

Key specifications

• Material: steel (for clamp body and fastening components)
• Intended use: fastening and forming terminations on steel wire rope
• Design: removable, reusable mechanical clamp for looped connections
• Compatibility: for standard steel wire rope sizes within the clamp's rated range
• Installation: tightened using appropriate hand tools to apply clamping force

How to use

Position the clamp on the rope according to standard installation practice: form the desired eye or loop, place the clamp so that the saddle and U-bolt secure the live end and dead end of the rope respectively, and tighten the fastening nuts evenly to the recommended torque for the rope size. After initial installation, inspect the connection to ensure the rope lies correctly in the saddle and the nuts are securely tightened. If required, adjust or re-torque following load tests or manufacturer guidance for the specific rope and working load scenario.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect clamped terminations for correct seating, corrosion, or loosening. Use the clamp only with appropriate wire rope diameters and within safe working load practices for the application. For critical lifting or life-safety applications, follow applicable industry standards and, if necessary, consult a qualified engineer to confirm suitability and correct installation procedures.
