Anchoring Wire Rope to Wedge Socket
See Figure 4-58
1. Assemble the wire rope and the wedge to the socket so
the live end of the wire rope is in a straight line with the
socket pin hole. Do not assemble WRONG as shown.
2. Allow the dead end of the wire rope to extend past the
end of the socket the amount shown.
3. Allow the wire rope to assume its natural lay.
4. Pull against the wedge and the live end of the wire rope
enough to tighten the wedge in the socket.
5. Use a brass hammer to seat the wedge and wire rope as
deep into the socket as possible.
6. Attach a wire rope clip to the dead end of the wire rope
using one of the RIGHT methods shown. The rope clip
will aid in preventing the wire rope from being pulled out
of the socket.
NOTE Use Right Method A only if the wire rope clip is small
enough to be securely tightened to the dead end.
Right Method C is only for use with a Terminator
wedge socket.
7. After the socket is pinned in place, hoist the load slowly
so the wedge seats tightly. Do not shock load the socket
and wedge.
WARNING
Falling Load Hazard!
• Inspect all parts prior to use. Do not use parts that are
cracked or otherwise defective.
• Remove minor nicks, burrs, or rough edges from
socket, wedge, or pin by lightly grinding. Do not
reduce original dimensions by more than 10%.
• Do not reinstall shipping material (bolt, plastic strap or
wire) in the shipping holes (9) of the wedge or the
socket after assembling them. Discard these
materials because they can prevent the wedge from
tightening in the socket.
• Only use a wedge and socket which are the correct
size for the wire rope being used. Do not mix and
match parts from one assembly with parts from
another assembly.
• The Terminator™ socket and wedge has “go” and “no
go” holes to check for proper rope size.
• Attach the wire rope clip to the dead end of the wire
rope after assembling the wire rope to the wedge and
socket.
WARNING
Falling Load Hazard!
The wire rope can break if the following precaution is not
observed:
• Do not attach the dead end of wire rope to the live
end of wire rope with a wire rope clip. The wire rope
clip will transfer the load from the live side of the wire
rope to the dead end, seriously weakening the
attachment.
