What are Cable Grips? Different Types of Cable Grips?
Cable Grips provide a secure connection between cables and winch ropes or draw ropes. Before pushing onto the cable, the cable grip is pressed together so that the steel wire weave opens and the cable grip diameter increases. As soon as the pull is applied to the cable grip the flexible steel wire weave closes onto the cable sheaths holding the cable securely and reliably.
Wire Mesh Grips are made from galvanised and stainless steel wires so as to offer optimum mechanical strength and flexibility. The diameter and the construction of the wire varies with the diameter of the cable being pulled or supported. The Standard Stocking is made of twin/triple wire design with number of loops depending upon cable diameter and the Safe Working Load required.
Types of cable grips
Cable grips in India from Hemakul are available in three forms. Their details are mentioned below.
Pulling grips
Cable pulling grips are galvanised and stainless steel wire mesh tubes. Cable pulling grips are placed over cables and cylindrical objects so that they can be pulled through conduits and trenches.
Heavy-duty grips
Heavy-duty cable grips – also known as cable socks, are specifically designed to be applied in heavy-duty cable pulling. Heavy-duty cable grips are manufactured using the multi-weave technique thus allowing them to come with impressive tensile strength with adequate grip and high durability.
Support grips
Lastly, cable support grips are specially designed to help distribute the vertical sloping weight of electrical as well as fibre-optic cables. Cable support grips are also used to distribute the vertical sloping weight of hoses as well as metal rods thereby keeping them from sustaining damage.
