I saw torque specs for wire rope cable clamps on here a while ago, and after searching, have given up. Can anyone help me? I had to redo the end on my winch cable. And yes, I know to 'never saddle a dead horse' and to use three clamps. Thanks. (it's 5/16 wire rope, btw)
Crazy euros....Kn isn't even a unit of torque! If you assume that chart is in Kn-m... then I believe that to be 27 ft-lbs... but that sounds too low for me.

I remember it not being too high, actually thought it was lower than 27 ft-lbs. Not sure if I'm figuring this right, but using the conversion tables you guys supplied I get 40.7 KNm / 1355.7 = .03 ft-lbs. That can't be right... Perhaps 40.7/1.3557 = 30 ft-lbs???
I remember this being much easier last time...had a table with ft-lbs on it and instructions on how to do it all properly...I just don't like messing around with safety...I'm sure that it will work tightened to what 'feels right' but I'd rather be safer...thanks for your patience and help
I know. I used to research stuff on the 'net for a living, but somehow I was having a tough time with this one. Thanks very much. I appreciate the help.
The torque for crosby clips on 5/16" wire rope is 30 ft-lbs. Remember that using wire rope clips, you can only achieve 80% of the breaking strength of the cable. If possible find a place locally that can can terminate the end of the cable with a nicopress sleeve. Nicopress sleeves can hold 100% of the breaking strength of the cable. It takes a special tool to crimp the sleeves on the cable. Also make sure to use copper sleeves. They hold better than aluminum sleeves in multiple shock load applications.
