Wire Rope Terminations
Wedge Sockets
Wedge - type sockets are used in lifting, pulling, tensioning and staying systems as a simple mechanical connection to steel wire
ropes, especially where steel wire ropes may require shortening. One end of the wedge type socket is able to clamp a rope with a
wedging action and the other end is able to connect to another fitting or anchorage.
The wedge - type socket is designed for use on wire ropes up to and including 1770 grade wire with a wire rope core, however
higher grade wire rope may be used, provided it meets the intent of this Standard.
Metal or Spelter Sockets - Open and Closed
The load is transferred between the rope and the socket forging or casting by means of adhesion between the rope wires and
the metal or resin used in the socket bowl and subsequent wedging action provided by the bond between the rope’s wires and
the metal or resin in the socket. Care should be taken to follow the correct socketing procedure. Properly applied poured socket
attachments will withstand the actual breaking force of the wire rope.

• Forged from special bar quality carbon steel, suitable
for cold forming.
• Swage Socket terminations have an effi ciency rating of
100% based on the catalogue strength of wire rope.
• Hardness controlled by spheroidize annealing.
• Stamp for identification after swaging without concern for
fractures (as per directions in National Swaging Brochure).
• U.S. Patent 5,152,630 and foreign equivalents.
