ProductWire rope assemblies for load cell applications. Assemblies improve alignment, increase load cell repeatability and act as vibration dampeners.
Wire Rope Assemblies- Designed for use with load cells to enhance alignment and measurement repeatability; provide inherent vibration damping.
Cardinal Wire Rope Assemblies- EL208 Cardinal wire rope assembly: used on 7,500 lb capacity FH model and 8,000 lb capacity EP model.
- EL209 Cardinal wire rope assembly: used on 20,000 lb capacity FH and EP models; may also be used on 15,000 lb capacity FH and EP models.
Custom Wire Ropes- When ordering custom ropes, complete the Custom Wire Rope Definition form and provide a sample when possible; specify required tension rating and total capacity.
WarningDo not expose wire ropes to shock loads, chemicals or twisting. Use chains or rods as safety backup in case of catastrophic failure.
