M Clips

 

General Features

 

Two types of M Clips are available for hanging of light services from W Strap in mining applications.

  • M Clips, when placed over the edge of the W Strap vee, are self-locking and are used for suspension of light services.
  • The 20mm wide M Clip is usually used with cord and can suspend loads up to 20kg when placed adjacent to a roof bolt.
  • The 32mm wide M Clip includes a 40mm x 7mm wide slot for use with light chain for suspension of services.
  • Recommended maximum loads to be carried are:

20mm wide clip

  • adjacent to bolt is 20kg
  • 300mm from bolt is 15kg
  • 600mm from bolt is 10kg

32mm wide clip

  • adjacent to bolt is 40kg
  • 300mm from bolt is 30kg
  • 600mm from bolt is 20kg

Loads are valid for static load only with no allowance being made for shock load or vibration.

 

N.B. M Clips must be pushed fully home against the edge of the W Strap.

  • Corrosion protection is provided by ‘dip’ painting as standard. i.e. 20mm painted yellow and 32mm painted white.
