Grip. Pull. Lift. Cable Grips prevent cable and rope damage Cable Grips (Stoppers) from Cortland can be used to grip many types of cables from large hydraulic umbilicals to small fiber optic cables. They can be used as a "quick fit" temporary attachments/tie-off points or used as a permanent attachment. Cable Grips are designed to minimize any external damage to the cable and can be fitted without the need to gain access to the end of the cable. Cortland offers Cable Grips in three standard types. AS Grips Cortland AS Grips are manufactured with para-Aramid fiber. Aramid fiber Cable Grips are the 'tried and true' workhorse of many Océanographie, Seismic, and Industrial applications. TS Grips Teijin Technora® fiber is used to manufacture Cortland TS Grips. Technora® is a copolymer para-Aramid fiber with a 20% strength advantage compared to standard para-Aramids used in Cortland AS Grips. Technora® also exhibits a higher resistance to abrasion and very high temperature resistance. Cortland TS Grips provide a more durable product in demanding applications where the cable being gripped or the environment is at an elevated temperature. VS Grips When the application is highly dynamic, Cortland VS Grips, manufactured with Vectran® fibers, are the best choice in Cable Grips. Vectran® fibers have superior abrasion resistance and excellent dynamic loading durability. Cortland VS Grips have the same strength ratings as the Cortland TS Grips.
