Never Saddle a Dead Horse
When using wire rope clips, (also known as wire rope clamps) always apply the saddle of clip to the "live side" or load bearing side of the cable assembly.
Methods Of Application
1. Always apply the saddle of the wire rope clip to the live end (non turnback end) of the wire rope or cable. “Never Saddle a Dead Horse.” Turn back the specified amount of rope from the thimble. Apply the first clip one base width from the dead end of the wire rope.
2. Apply the next clip as near the loop as possible. Turn on the nuts but do not tighten.
3. Space additional clips equally between the first two. Take up rope slack. Tighten all nuts evenly on all clips.

The dynarope® tension meter is a precision device for measuring forces in a tensioned cable or rope. The meter can be attached directly to the cable and has a fixed display.
When the tension meter is placed on a tensioned cable, the load cell will generate a signal which is more or less proportional to the force.
The HF 37 series can be connected to a PC for managing and storing measurement results.
There is a large variety of cables, each cable having its own characteristics such as composition, diameter, rigidity, density, etc. The database includes several basic wire rope data. We are happy to help you choose the right model and parameter settings in our wire rope database.
The dynarope® HF 36 is an electronic load cell that has been designed to measure the effort applied in a wire rope. The resulting signal is used in a digital remote display (model HF 87/T/LPT) controlled by a microprocessor, which corrects the force information according to the wire rope specification and displays the result of the measurement on a LCD display.
Several wire ropes specifications are logged in a data bank.
The dynasafe® HF 05 mechanical load cell has been designed to provide a trip point in lifting systems, which have a dead-end wire rope. The trip point load limiter generates an “all or nothing” type signal in the event the programmable target value is exceeded. Available in one or two thresholds versions.
The load cell is preferable for fitting applications where it is essential to minimize the lost headroom.
The Dynafor® Expert, designed and manufactured by Tractel, is a wireless digital dynamometer, used in high precision applications. With its unique design, it allows to reach extreme precision.
Based on the principle of strain gauge extension measurement, the sensor generates an electrical signal which is processed and analyzed by a built-in microprocessor, which transmits the information to a wireless accessory.
Equipped with radio 2.4 GHz (RF) and Bluetooth (BLE) chipsets available all time, the Dynafor® Expert provides a wireless range of 1,300 ft. (400 m) to Tractel Dynafor® HHD, large displays AL128 and software accessories 100 ft. (30 m) to any smartphone equipped with our free Dynafor® app on iOS or Android
Compatible with standard bow and clevis shackles, the Dynafor® Expert ensures a perfect implementation in your applications.
