CERTEX EUREKA Wire Rope Grip

USER- AND INSTALLATIONS INSTRUCTIONS

Declaration of incorporation of partly completed machinery. In accordance with EC Directive on BA10.17EURUK12.02.21 Machinery 2006/42/EC CERTEX Danmark A/S declares under its sole responsibility that the delivered wire rope grip is approved for lifting and can be included in a CE-marked lifting gear.
If the customer makes any modification of the product or if the customer combines the product with a non-compatible product/component CERTEX Danmark A/S takes no responsibility for the consequences in regard to the safety of the product. The work with lifting devices and equipment must be planned, organized, and executed in order to prevent hazardous situations.
In accordance with national statutory regulations lifting devices and equipment must only be used by someone well familiar with the work and has theoretical and practical knowledge of safe use.
Before the equipment is used the instruction, manual must be read. It contains important information about how the equipment will work in a safe and correct way. If the equipment is used in accordance with this instruction manual risks and damages can be avoided.
Apart from the instruction manual, we refer to existing national regulations in each workplace.

• Failure to follow the regulations of this instruction for use may cause serious consequences such as the risk of injury.
• Read and understand these instructions before using the wire rope grips.
• Match same size wire rope grip with same size wire.
• Do not combine EUREKA wire rope grips with other manufacturers.

Description

Wire rope grips of the EUREKA type are approved for lifting if mounting is done according to the instructions for use (see next page). The wire rope grip can be used with 6 or 8-strand steel wire ropes with steel or fiber core, in a wire rope quality of up to 1960 N/mm2. When properly assembled, the assembly can handle up to 90% of the minimum breaking load of the steel wire rope (MBL).

• Do not use for compacted steel wire ropes or plastic-coated steel wire ropes for lifting purposes with wire rope grips.
• EUREKA wire rope grips are not suitable for the assembling of 2 steel wire ropes in continuation of each other.

Handling

To achieve a satisfying assembling, the following number of wire rope grips is required – according to the table below

According to the Danish Working Environment Authority (AT-meddelelse nr. 2.02.5). For use outside Denmark, please contact the local authorities in the country in question.

Assembling

All screws must be tightened sequentially and evenly. The screws must be tightened after the wire has been charged.

The wire eye must be fitted with a thimble that fits the wire dimensions and takes into account the load of the wire. The wire rope grip closest to the thimble must be placed so that the thimble cannot fall out. Carry out a load test with the maximum permissible load.

Splicing / interconnection

Interconnection of steel wire ropes when using wire rope grips must normally be done by means of two end fittings which are connected to an extension joint.
Steel wires must not be connected by overlap and locked with wire rope grips.

Maintenance

All wire locks must be retightened after a while – from a few days up to 3 weeks – depending on the intensity of the task.

• Before and after use, the attached wire rope grips must be inspected for displacements, deformation and wear.
• Inspect the assembly regularly – at least once a year.

Must be inspected at least once a month and must undergo a complete inspection at least every 12 months. Please note local regulations and regulations must be observed with regard to inspection.

Rejection/Disposal

EUREKA wire rope grips must always be sorted/disposed of as general steel scrap. Material is C45 / 40Cr. The supplier will assist you with disposal if required.

Reservations

CERTEX Danmark A/S reserves the right to modify product design, materials, specifications or instructions without prior notice and without obligation to others. 3

Lifting equipment should be inspected at least once a month and undergo a complete overhaul at least every 12 months.

1. Fasten half of the wire rope grip in a vice. Untie the bolts and pull the wire through the lock.
2. Form the eye and push the end of the wire back through the rope grip.
3. If a thimble has to be used: Insert the thimble and tighten the wire until the thimble is so close to the wire rope grip as 0,5 x wire diameter.
4. The end of the wire has to be entirely carried through the wire rope grip. The visible rope end should approx. have the same length as 5 times the wire diameter.
5. Ensure that the installation of the bolt(s) is correctly carried out. Fasten the bolt(s) on the top.
6. Turn the wire rope grip.
7. Fasten the bolt(s) on the new upper side.
8. Check the tightening of the bolt(s) on both the upper and the lower sides.
9. Use the hex key for fastening.
   When using a torque wrench, see chart for tightening torque column Moment Nm.

In case the wire rope grip half parts can be entirely fastened, use the minor EUREKA wire grip for the wire dimension concerned. Retighten after the first loading.
