4.6 Wire rope clamps & Thimbles
EN 13411-5:2009-02 stipulates the use of at least 3 wire rope clamps and thimbles for end
connections for steel wire ropes of nominal size 5 mm.
The first wire rope clamp should be attached directly to the thimble. The clamp should
always be attached to the loaded part of the rope.
The distance "e" between the wire rope clamps should be at least 1.5 "t" and not more than 3
"t", where "t" is the width of the clamp jaw.
When making the connection and before commissioning, the collar nuts should be tightened
to a torque of 2 Nm. The recommended tightening torque applies to wire rope clamps where
the contact surfaces and threads of the nuts have been lubricated.
After the first application of the load the tightening torque should be checked again and
corrected if necessary.
