- A cable grip is a device for propelling a vehicle by attaching to a wire rope (called a haul rope) running at a (relatively) constant speed. The vehicle may be suspended from the cable, as in the case of aerial lifts such as a gondola lift (télécabine), may be guided by rails, as in a cable traction railway, or may be self-guiding, as in a button lift. Typically, multiple vehicles will use the same cable; where just one or two vehicles are in use they will tend to be attached to the cable permanently such as infuniculars. While the cable grips used in the original cable railways were manually operated, requiring considerable skill and strength, modern cable grips tend to be automatic. Given that the cable runs at a relatively constant speed, accelerating the vehicle to match the speed of the cable presents a technical difficulty; possible methods are to apply the grip gradually, to accelerate the vehicle (e.g. by guiding wheels) prior to applying the grip, or to use a sprung linkage between the grip and the vehicle. The cable must also be able to handle friction from the grip and increased load while the vehicle is accelerating. Cable grips have additional uses, such as supporting electric or structural cables for pulling or laying of the electric or structural cable itself. In such use they may also be called cable pulling grips, cable socks, or cable stockings. (en)
- Une attache d'un moyen de transport par câble est un dispositif mécanique solidaire du véhicule (agrès, siège, cabine ou benne), qui le relie au câble en mouvement de façon à assurer son déplacement. L'attache est généralement liaisonnée au câble suivant le principe mécanique de la pince exerçant une force de serrage adaptée.On trouve des attaches fixes, où le véhicule reste toujours relié, et des attaches débrayables, qui permettent à ce dernier d'être désolidarisé du câble dans les gares. On trouve, en particulier, ce dispositif sur les téléskis, les télécabines, les télésièges, des téléphériques et des systèmes de transport hectométrique. (fr)
