Turnbuckle for Wire Rope

A turnbuckle for wire rope is a classic tensioning device. Its design consists of a cast, welded or stamped body, along the longitudinal axis of which are holes with opposite-handed thread grooves. The body can be round, oval or rectangular in shape. The kit includes two bolts: one turns left, the other right, with attachment elements in the form of a ring, hook, loop, eye or fork. Turnbuckles are made from high-strength steel with a zinc coating for corrosion protection.

Simultaneous rotation of both end fittings in opposite directions is ensured by the correct operation of the turnbuckle body. Once the required wire rope tension is reached, the procedure is complete, and the load, mast, equipment or pole is secured.

The advantages of this type of fastener are ease of installation and tension adjustment. It is important to select the right design, load capacity and dimensions of the mechanism. Turnbuckles for wire rope are used only for securing loads or guy wires. They must not be used for lifting, lowering or moving loads.
