The Gorilla Clamp is APE-X’s flagship non-metallic downhole cable protection system-engineered to secure ESP cable, control lines, and capillary tubing at every stage of the well.
Its field-driven Gorilla Grip design controls movement, distributes loading, and protects vulnerable cable jackets from damaging contact during run-in, production and retrieval. The result is secure placement, cleaner deployment, and dependable protection where conventional clamps can fall short.
Unlike traditional metallic clamps that depend on coatings or plating for protection, the Gorilla Clamp is manufactured from a reinforced engineering polymer. That construction eliminates metal-to-metal contact and removes the electrochemical corrosion pathway associated with conventional metal designs. There is nothing to strip, peel, or wear away.
When the cable is the lifeline of your artificial lift system, protect it with the Gorilla Grip.
Non-metallic downhole cable protection engineered for secure installation, clean retrieval, and dependable performance in harsh well environments.
The Gorilla Clamp combines reinforced polymer construction with field-driven cable-routing geometry to provide dependable
downhole protection without the coating failure and metal-to-metal contact associated with conventional metallic clamps.
Electrical and cable damage is the single biggest driver of ESP failure in the field. The Gorilla Clamp targets that failure mode directly — protecting the cable jacket at every coupling and eliminating the metal-on-metal wear that shortens run life.
