Commonly used to connect steel ropes, the turnbuckle consists of a small, thin metal wheel generally used with a cable. Whether one side is equipped with an eye, a hook, or a clevis, or both ends have these types of attachments, the cage turnbuckle is among the most used anchorage accessories to allow the tensioning of the cable to ensure the stability of the assembly.
Whether it is a hook and hook, hook and eye, eye and eye, clevis and eye, clevis and clevis or welding rod system, you can easily find the cage turnbuckle that perfectly meets your requirements. The reserve capacity of cage turnbuckles should normally not exceed 5 times the maximum usage load or safety coefficient marked on the product. For instance, welding rods typically have a safety coefficient of 1/4. All ends of the turnbuckles must be tempered and quenched to increase the toughness of the materials and ensure the reduction of the risk of sudden breakage with the cable. The galvanized finish of the cage turnbuckles also allows for better protection of the rod against corrosion. Complete your anchorage accessories with a ratchet turnbuckle and a bungee turnbuckle.
