Made of two pieces of metal that can be tightened against each other, the cable clamp is a device that allows for the formation of a loop at the end of a cable or for assembling two cables or metal ropes side by side. U-bolt cable clamps are the most commonly used devices on construction sites. Many criteria need to be taken into account when choosing the right cable clamp.
Cable clamps are devices used to tie the end of a cable. Their use reduces the breaking load of the cable by about 15 to 20%. There are many types of cable clamps available on the market, including U-bolt, double saddle, crossed, open bottom, round, double round, and automatic. To choose the right cable clamps correctly, the distance between the devices should be equal to 6 or 8 times the diameter of the cable. As for the number of cable clamps to use, you simply need to refer to the diameter of the cable, the nature of the core (whether textile or metal), and their use. Regarding their installation, they are mounted on the frame in order to secure the machine's power supply cable. They also protect the cable from metal cutting and thus offer good protection against wear.
