Wire Rope Assemblies- General Information

 

The name Tuf-Grip says it all. Tuf-Grip fittings are securely attached to the wire rope by "clamping forces" that grip the rope and allow the tensile load to be transferred into the fitting. That in turn allows the load to be transferred to the point of attachment on your machine or equipment. The result: an effective transfer of tensile forces from the rope through the fitting and into the point of attachment. We can design the fitting to accommodate an almost infinite number of variations, ranging from simple and flat (button ferrules, for example) to curved (such as pin eyes) to more complex shapes (internally threaded designs, among others). All of our designs give you the advantages of required strength and they conform with mating parts at minimal cost.

No one has tougher specifications than you, and Tuf-Grip meets those specifications. Just tell us your exact specs, and we'll design and produce the Tuf-Grip wire rope assemblies that fit your application. We know your needs are unique, so that's why over 70 percent of our Tuf-Grip production is custom-designed at WireCo WorldGroup (WireCo WorldGroup).
