Cable wire rope clamp ZLK-3 — No name, zinc-plated steel clamp for securing wire rope

Cable wire rope clamp ZLK-3 by No name is a zinc-plated steel clamp designed to secure and form eye terminations or joins on steel wire rope. The clamp provides a mechanical fastening point without the need for swaging or welding and is intended for temporary or adjustable connections in rigging and general cable assembly tasks. Its zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and occasional outdoor use where extended exposure to harsh environments is not expected.

Advantages

The zinc-plated steel construction delivers dependable mechanical strength for short-term load-holding and fastening tasks while remaining cost-effective. The simple two-bolt clamp design enables quick installation and adjustment on various diameters of steel wire rope. Because it creates a removable connection, the clamp supports reconfiguration and reuse of wire rope assemblies without permanent alteration to the cable.

Suitable for

• Forming eye terminations on steel wire rope
• Joining two lengths of wire rope for temporary splicing
• Fastening and slinging in construction and rigging tasks
• General-purpose cable assemblies and marine fittings with limited exposure

Key specifications

• Material: zinc-plated steel for basic corrosion protection
• Clamp type: two-bolt wire rope clip suitable for forming eyes and joins
• Intended use: mechanical clamping for temporary or adjustable connections
• Compatibility: designed for use with steel wire rope of appropriate diameter (select clamp size to match rope)
• Finish: zinc plating to reduce surface oxidation under normal conditions

How to use

Select a clamp size that matches the diameter of the steel wire rope being used. Position the clamp so the saddle portion supports the live line and the U-bolt secures the tail, following standard wire rope clip practice: place at least two or more clamps spaced along the tail for most terminations, tighten bolts evenly to the recommended torque for the clamp size, and inspect the assembly after initial loading. Replace clamps that show significant corrosion, deformation, or thread wear. For critical lifts or permanent installations, use certified splicing or swaging methods instead of temporary clamps.

Usage recommendations

Use these clamps only for applications within the working load limits appropriate for the rope and clamp size. Avoid prolonged exposure to corrosive environments; perform regular inspections and retorque bolts after initial load application. For lifting or life-critical uses, choose products and methods certified for the specific application.
