Prestressing PC Wire Anchorage Gripper

When using this Prestressing PC Wire Anchorage Gripper, you don’t need complex tools; just follow these simple steps. First, check the prestressing wires to make sure there’s no rust or dirt on the surface. If there is, wipe it off with a clean cloth—debris can affect the gripper’s holding force. Next, take the Prestressing PC Wire Anchorage Gripper and slide it onto the end of the PC wire, pushing it all the way in to prevent slipping. Then put the wire and gripper together into the conical hole of the anchor ring, pressing firmly to ensure tight contact between the gripper, wire and hole. After that, start tensioning with the jack, watching the pressure gauge to reach the designed value. Once tensioning is done, release the jack’s pressure slowly, and the gripper will clamp the wire tightly to finish anchoring. Remember, don’t use a damaged or bent gripper. Keep your hands clean when handling it to avoid oil stains on contact surfaces. After use, check the gripper’s teeth for wear—if they’re too worn, replace it with a new one. It’s not complicated, even for first-time users; take your time and follow the steps, and it’ll work smoothly.

Product surface treatment

The surface treatment of this Prestressing PC Wire Anchorage Gripper is simple and practical, mainly to make it more durable. First, the raw steel goes through sandblasting to remove rust, scale and dirt. This is just basic cleaning to help the subsequent treatment adhere better, so you don’t have to worry about the surface being too rough. Most Prestressing PC Wire Anchorage Gripper products get a galvanized coating after sandblasting. It’s a thin coating, but it effectively prevents rust when used outdoors or in humid environments. Some may use black oxide treatment instead—it’s simpler, forming a thin black film on the surface to resist corrosion and cost less. Either way, the process is basic. Small surface spots are normal and won’t affect use. After treatment, the product is fully dried to avoid moisture that could cause rust. No fancy chemicals are used, just basic materials and steps, all to prevent corrosion and wear. You don’t need extra surface maintenance; just store it in a dry place when not in use, and it’ll last longer in construction work.
