Kit Câble GALVA diamètre 6 mm

To manufacture your sling, we recommend using a torque wrench as well as suitable PPE. Depending on the selected length, you can adjust the sling length as required.

Installation of wire rope clips – diameter 6

For a Ø6 mm U-bolt wire rope clip, the standard requires 3 wire rope clips per loop. When forming your loop to enclose the thimble, you will obtain a dead end and a live end (see illustration).

The U-bolt must never crush the live end of the wire rope but must always be positioned on the dead end. The first wire rope clip must be installed as close as possible to the thimble, and the following clips must be spaced 29 to 57 millimetres apart for a Ø6 mm wire rope.

The bolts of the wire rope clips must be tightened to a torque of 3.5 Nm.

Assembly and safety rules

The wire rope clips must all be installed in the same direction. The operating temperature range for this type of assembly is between -20°C and +50°C.

This type of assembly must never be used for lifting. If lifting or pulling is required, your sling must be fitted with swaged ferrules instead of U-bolt clips.

To avoid installation errors, here is a technical reminder: “nuts on the live end”. The live end must never be clamped by the U-bolt; otherwise, the assembly will be incorrect. Accel declines all responsibility.
