-
Wedge socket terminations have an effeciency rating of 80% based on the catalog
strength of XXIP wire rope.
- Crosby products meet or exceed all the requirements
of ASME B30.26 including identification, ductility, design factor, proof load and
temperature requirements. Importantly, Crosby products meet other critical
performance requirements including fatigue life, impact properties and material
traceability, not addressed by ASME B20.26.
- Individually magnetic particle inspected.
- Pin diameter and jaw opening allows
wedge and socket to be used in conjunction with open swage and spelter sockets.
- Secures the tail or "dead end" of the
wire rope to the wedge, thus eliminates loss or "Punch out" of the wedge.
- Eliminates the need for an extra piece
of rope, and is easily installed.
- The TERMINATORTM wedge eliminates the
potential breaking off of the tail due to fatigue.
- The tail, which is secured by the base
of the clip and the wedge, is left undeformed and available for reuse.
- Incorporates Crosby's patented
QUIC-CHECK® "Go" and "No-Go" feature cast into the wedge. The proper size rope
is determined when the following criteria are met:
- 1) The wire rope should pass thru the
"Go" hole in the wedge.
- 2) The wire rope should NOT pass thru
the "No-Go" hole in the wedge.
- Utilizes standard Crosby Red-U-Bolt
wire rope clip.
- The 3/8" thru 1-1/8" standard S-421 wedge socket can be retrofitted
with the new style TERMINATORTM wedge.
- Available with Bolt, Nut, and Cotter
Pin.
- U.S. patent 5,553,360, Canada patent 2,217,004 and foreign equivalents.
