Electroline Clamps
The Electroline Clamp is a strong and simple wire rope clamp design that is used to terminate a length of wire rope. It does this by looping the loose end of a wire over a thimble, creating an eye, and securing the end back onto itself. Other designs for wire rope clamps use a series of U-bolt clips, which have several components and require particular spacing and installation. Safe-Line clamps use three elegant components which both secure the wire and safely enclose the loose end. With this design, assembly is streamlined and installation is simplified, lowering the risk for improper use.
Whereas many fittings must be installed in a shop with specialized tooling, Electroline clamps do not. This makes them an ideal option for applications that require field installation and fast, easily thimbled rope terminations. When properly installed, these clamps are totally enclosed: leaving no loose ends or rough edges. This means the loose end of the wire is properly secured with no risk of snagging on clothing or machinery.

Advantages of Using Electroline Clamps
Because Electroline clamps can be assembled on-site, they eliminate the need for time-consuming installation in off-site shops. In addition to their simple installation, Safe-Line clamps are incredibly strong and maintain over a 90% efficiency of rated wire rope strength.
Other advantages include:
- Totally enclosed profile, which means no loose wire strands to snag and cause safety issues
- Zinc-coated to protect from corrosion
- Compatible with several assembly methods
- Simpler and quicker assembly than U-bolt clips
- No protruding ends allow for easy pulling and dragging applications
- Meets or exceeds MS-16843 conditions for military-grade standards
Electroline Clamps – Assembly
While the U-bolt assembly requires tightening and retightening of bolts, the design of an Electroline wire rope clamp aligns intuitively and provides ample thread length, making the nut easy to start. There is also a generous wrenching area to help prevent slippage. Electroline clamps are easy to install in the field with just a portable vice and a wrench. These clamps are designed to be reused without the risk of compromising joint integrity. However, it is important to note that Electroline clamps must be reused as a pair. A half clamp from one assembly cannot be used with a clamp from a different pair as this may cause cross threading.
Another unique feature of Electroline clamps is their ability to “breathe” with the load. This ability entails the following:
- The clamp holds positive grip and maintains an efficiency rating over 90% of rated rope strength.
- Tightening the nut dilutes elasticity and prevents the rope from slipping.
- The hoop tension fluctuates with wire-rope tensions, the nut breathes with the load, enabling it to follow the reduced cross-section of the rope.
