Overview

The ABB Beam Clamp, SKU 501, is a heavy-duty malleable iron clamp engineered for secure attachment to structural beams in industrial, commercial, and construction applications. Constructed from durable malleable iron with a silver electro-plated finish, this clamp delivers corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in demanding environments. The clamp features a 5/16"-18 threaded opening, optimized for compatibility with standard threaded rods, conduit hangers, and mechanical fasteners. With a base size of 1.5 inches and a jaw opening of 0.875 inches, it accommodates beam flanges up to 7/8 inch thick, ensuring versatility across common structural profiles. The clamp's design load rating of 500 pounds (with a safety factor of 3) meets rigorous performance standards for suspended equipment installations. Installation is straightforward, requiring a torque of 60 inch-pounds for proper fastening. The clamp's compact dimensions (1.625" length x 1.5" width) make it ideal for tight spaces while maintaining robust load-bearing capacity. Typical applications include mounting conduit, cable trays, lighting fixtures, and other electrical/mechanical components from overhead beams in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and commercial buildings. The silver electro-plated finish provides additional corrosion protection compared to standard black or galvanized options, extending service life in exposed or humid environments. For installations requiring higher load ratings, ABB offers larger beam clamps in the same series (e.g., SKU 502 with 750 lb capacity).
