Galvanized Z Clevis

 

Many users are concerned about whether the performance characteristics of galvanized Z clevis meet the standards when purchasing them. We believe that in addition to relevant certifications, the manufacturing process is also very important. To reassure users, we will now introduce the manufacturing process in detail:

Raw material pretreatment: When selecting the base material, it is essential to ensure that it meets the characteristics of high strength so as to meet the load-bearing and tensile requirements during use. First, eliminate the curling stress of the steel plate, and then cut it according to the specifications required by the user. Surface cleaning is also essential. Remove surface oil and grease by soaking in an alkaline solution, and then clean with an acidic solution to remove the surface oxide scale. Rinse with water multiple times to remove residual acid and alkali solutions and avoid damaging the base material.

Structural forming: In the forming process, we can use two forming processes: multi-pass roll forming and stamping forming. Stamping forming is mainly for small-sized or irregular-shaped parts. It can stamp the required structure in one go, which is more efficient. By using CNC punching design to open the slots, deformation can be avoided. Multi-pass roll forming can better ensure the uniformity of the overall angle. It can be said that the two forming processes have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Galvanizing: The formed workpiece is immersed in a molten zinc bath at 440-460℃. When the workpiece temperature is the same as the zinc bath temperature, the steel will undergo a metallurgical reaction with the zinc bath, thus forming a zinc-iron alloy layer. An outer layer of zinc is then applied. The double-layer structure can greatly improve corrosion resistance and adhesion. After galvanizing, the workpiece is placed in a cooling tank to cool down quickly to solidify the zinc layer and prevent the zinc layer from reacting chemically with the air.

Quality Inspection: Finished product inspection of galvanized Z clevis is also essential. We use mechanical processes to remove defects such as zinc nodules and zinc burrs from the surface, grind uneven cuts, and remove residual zinc layer from the threads to ensure smooth installation. For environments with strict requirements, we also perform passivation treatment to further enhance the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the zinc layer.

 

 

Galvanized Z clevis require different assembly and load-bearing requirements depending on the industry and operating environment, thus their specifications vary. As a professional manufacturer, our factory supports customization services, with the main customization options as follows:

Dimensions: The thickness of the sheet metal is usually 3-10mm. For larger sizes, custom production is available. The hole diameter, hole position distribution, and quantity can all be customized. Different sizes are used for different power transmission line insulator connections.

Load capacity: Tensile strength of 20,000 lbs to 50,000 lbs or more can be customized according to load requirements, suitable for large-scale industrial use and everyday connection scenarios;

Matching products: Customizable complete sets of accessories, including cotter pins, nuts, clips, and other accessories. These accessories also undergo surface treatment to better meet corrosion resistance requirements, and bulk purchases are cheaper.

Customization services for galvanized Z clevis vary depending on the country. For example, for domestic manufacturers, we support full-process ODM/OEM customization, customizing insulators and suspension clamps according to drawings, providing after-sales service, offering samples, and supporting a 15-20 day delivery cycle.For customized needs in the international market, different lengths and tensile strengths need to be customized according to the load. Some models can also be customized with threaded shackle pins for easy disassembly. Especially for overseas users, the minimum order quantity varies greatly. We support orders of 1000 pieces or more. For orders with special requirements, we can also communicate with the manufacturer to try our best to meet the user's needs. International orders need to allow time for logistics and customs clearance. If you also need galvanized Z clevis, please order in advance.

When exporting galvanized Z clevis, care must be taken to avoid scratching the zinc coating. If shipped by sea, attention must also be paid to moisture and rust prevention, and the connectors must be compatible with international shipping requirements. When choosing a shipping method, we can select based on order volume and timeliness. Below are specific options for users' reference:

Small connectors: For smaller connectors, each connector can be individually packaged in a polyethylene plastic bag to avoid collisions that could damage the zinc coating. Place the bagged products in a corrugated cardboard box, fill the gaps with bubble wrap, stack the boxes on a wooden pallet, and secure them with steel straps for easy forklift loading and unloading.

Large-size connectors: Customized packaging boxes are used, with anti-slip rubber pads inside. The connectors are secured inside the box with bolts or fastening straps to prevent deformation caused by bumps. For vulnerable parts such as holes, plastic protective sleeves are used for protection. If you have special requirements for the packaging of galvanized Z clevis, please contact us.
