Wire Rope Terminations - Wedge Sockets BSEN 13411-6

The Terminator™
Crosby’s “New & Improved” Wedge Socket

• Basket is cast steel.
• 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 TERMINATOR™ 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 would pass thru the “Go” hole in the wedge.
  2. The wire rope should NOT pass thru the “No-Go” hole in the wedge.
• Utilises standard Crosby Red-U-Bolt wire rope clip.
• Generates a minimum efficiency of 80% based on the catalogue breaking strength of the wire rope.
• Standard S-421 wedge socket can be retrofitted with the new style terminator™ wedge.
• Available with Bolt, Nut and Cotter Pin.
