Steel Wire Rope Steel Cable

Specification: MIL-W-83420D – Improved Plow Steel

The MIL-W-83420D specification defines wire ropes made from improved plow steel, known for its superior strength and durability. Here, we’ll look at the available sizes and constructions for these wire ropes.

7×7 Construction

The 7×7 wire rope consists of seven strands, each made up of seven wires. This construction offers a balance of flexibility and strength, making it suitable for applications where moderate bending is required.

Available Sizes: 3/64, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8 inches.

Focus Sizes:

• 3/16 inches: This size is ideal for light to medium-duty applications such as guy wires and control cables.
• 1/4 inches: Used in slightly more robust applications including rigging and hoisting.
• 3/8 inches: Suitable for heavy-duty tasks like lifting and supporting structures.

7×19 Construction

The 7×19 wire rope consists of seven strands, each with nineteen wires. This configuration provides greater flexibility compared to the 7×7 construction and is commonly used in dynamic applications.

Available Sizes: 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, 7/32, 1/4, 9/32, 5/16, 3/8 inches.

Here are some common types of wire rope rigging hardware:

Wire Rope Clips

Wire rope clips, also known as cable clamps or u-bolt clamps, are used to create an eye or loop in a wire rope by securing the loose end to the standing part of the rope. They consist of a u-shaped bolt, a saddle, and two nuts that are tightened to secure the rope in place.

Our Duplex Wire Rope Clips offer exceptional reliability and secure fastening solutions for various applications, making them an ideal choice for your diverse needs.

 

 

Shackles

Shackles are U-shaped metal connectors with a pin or screw-type closure. They are used to join wire ropes, slings, or other lifting components. Shackles come in various types, including anchor shackles, chain shackles, and bow shackles, each suited for different applications and load capacities.

Turnbuckles

Turnbuckles, also called bottle screws or rigging screws, are adjustable tensioning devices used to tighten or loosen wire ropes. They consist of two threaded eye bolts or hooks connected by a body that can be rotated to increase or decrease the tension in the wire rope.

Swivels

Swivels are rotating connectors that allow wire ropes to rotate freely without twisting or kinking. They are commonly used in lifting operations and applications where the load needs to rotate or change direction.

Thimbles

Thimbles are metal sleeves inserted into the eyes or loops of wire ropes to prevent wear and deformation caused by friction and bending. They help maintain the rope’s shape and protect it from abrasion.

Hooks

Hooks are curved or bent metal devices used to connect wire ropes to loads or other rigging components. They come in various configurations, such as clevis hooks, grab hooks, and eye hooks, and are designed to securely hold and suspend loads.

Links and Rings

Links and rings are circular connectors made of metal. They are used to join multiple wire ropes or connect wire ropes to other rigging hardware. They provide a secure and reliable connection point in rigging assemblies.
