Wire Rope Clips & Wire
Rope Clamps

Wire rope clips are used to create loop ends in wire rope and aircraft cable assemblies, particularly for field installations where the loop needs to form without swaging equipment. Common applications include rigging, suspension, industrial cable systems, safety cables, and custom wire rope assemblies.

Yes. Wire rope clips are often called wire rope clamps, and the terms are commonly used interchangeably. Both typically consist of a U-shaped bolt, a saddle, and two nuts that clamp the wire rope in place, though specific styles vary by application, material, and performance needs.

Drop forged wire rope clips are typically stronger and are often preferred for load-bearing or heavy-duty applications, while malleable wire rope clips suit lighter-duty or non-critical uses. Selection depends on cable diameter, load requirements, environment, and application criticality.

Yes. Stainless steel wire rope clips, especially Type 316 stainless steel, are often used for outdoor, marine, architectural, and corrosive environments because they offer improved corrosion resistance. Galvanized wire rope clips may also be used outdoors, depending on the exposure level and application requirements.

When requesting a quote, provide the wire rope diameter, cable construction, clip or clamp style, material preference, quantity, load requirements, and application environment. If available, include drawings, specifications, photos, or part numbers so Lexco can recommend the correct wire rope clip, clamp, or custom cable assembly.
