About Mazzella 7-Part Wire Rope Sling, Eye-and-Eye, 7 X

The Mazzella 7 x19 GAC (galvanized aircraft cable) single-leg wire rope sling has eye-and-eye endings, a mechanical splice, and galvanized zinc coating for lifting loads with vertical, choker, or basket configurations in aircraft industry applications. The 7 x 19 construction contains seven strands of wire rope with nineteen wires per strand. The wire rope construction is flexible, and has more abrasion and heat resistance than a web sling. This eye-and-eye sling has an eye, or loop, on both ends, and can be used with vertical, choker, and basket lifting configurations. The eyes are secured with a mechanical (also called Flemish) splice, which is stronger than a hand splice. The galvanized (zinc) coating has greater corrosion resistance than a bright (uncoated) wire rope. This sling has a minimum D/d ratio of 10 and meets American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) specification B30.9 and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) specification 1910.184. Slings are used to lift heavy objects for industrial applications. Types of slings include web slings, wire rope slings, chain slings, and mesh slings. The appropriate type of sling for an application depends on the strength-to-weight ratio, flexibility and resistance to bending, resistance to abrasion and cutting, resistance to crushing, resistance to stretching, and resistance to high temperatures and other environmental stressors. Slings have one, two, three, or four legs; or a continuous loop of webbing or wire rope. Legs are support branches that extend from a single point at the top of the sling to the item being lifted so the weight of the load is distributed evenly among the branches. Slings have eyes (loops) or alloy steel fittings on the ends. A vertical lifting configuration connects a crane hook directly to a load with a single, vertical sling, usually by means of a hook. In a choker configuration, the sling wraps entirely around the load, and one loop
