CABLE-GRIP™ and STOPPER-GRIP™ Terminations
End Cable Problems with CABLE-GRIP and STOPPER-GRIP Terminations
CABLE-GRIP terminations are for cable diameters less than 1.0” and STOPPER-GRIP terminations are for cable diameters 1.0” and over. PMI grips are fully capable of holding your cable to the rated breaking strength. The helical wire design permits easy installation anywhere along the length of the cable and does not require access to the cable end. The complete cable passes through the termination intact. Tensile load transfers gradually from cable to termination with no stress concentration to damage your cable.
Features:
- Field installable wrap-on design
- No tools or cable preparation is required
- Sizes .125″ (3mm) and up
- Standard grips furnished in galvanized steel; Other materials (stainless steel, etc.) available upon request
- Compatible with many jacketed and synthetic strength members
- Thimbles available upon request
Product Description
PMI’s CABLE-GRIP and STOPPER-GRIPs are ideal for getting a quick grip on wire rope and Electro-Opto-Mechanical (EOM) cables. The helical wire design permits easy installation anywhere along the length of the cable and does not require access to the cable end. PMI Grips hold to rated breaking strength of the cable.
A wide range of grips are available in various diameters and lengths to support a broad variety of applications:
- CABLE-GRIP: Terminations for cable diameters less than 25 mm (1 inch)
- STOPPER-GRIP: Terminations for cable diameters greater than 25 mm (1 inch)
Applications
- De-tensioning of cable line
- Routine and/or Emergency cable handling
- Temporary hang-offs
- Mooring systems
- Strain relief at connection points
- Towed side scan sonars
- Towed cable systems
- CTD’s, Rosettes
- ROV’s
- Aquaculture – device attachments to netting
Features and Benefits
- Field-installable wrap-on design with no tools or cable preparation required to save time and money
- Range of diameters from 3 mm (0.125″) to 152 mm (6.0″) and many with length options
- Helical gripping secures firmly to the cable to its rated breaking strength
- Thimbles available for added termination strength
- Load is transferred gradually from cable to termination without damaging cable due to stress concentration
- Compatible with many jacketed and synthetic strength members
- Standard grips are made of galvanized steel
- Optional stainless steel, available upon request
- Additional strain/bend relief protection to assist with minimizning kinking
CABLE-GRIP and STOPPER-GRIP Terminations
CABLE-GRIP and STOPPER-GRIP Terminations are built to close tolerances. To ensure satisfactory results, specify:
- Cable or rope diameter
- Lay direction of outer strength member
- Rated breaking strength
- Construction and/or type
