Wire Rope Socket

Wire rope sockets are a type of fitting used for securing wire ropes, cables, and chains. They are part of the supply class "Fittings For Rope, Cable, And Chain" in the supply group "Rope, Cable, Chain, And Fittings."

Wire rope sockets are designed to provide a secure termination point for wire ropes, cables, and chains. They are typically made of high-strength materials such as steel or stainless steel to ensure durability and reliability.

These sockets consist of a metal body with a cavity that holds the end of the wire rope or cable. The wire rope is inserted into the socket and secured using a wedge or other locking mechanism. This creates a strong and reliable connection that can withstand heavy loads and tension.

Wire rope sockets are commonly used in various industries such as construction, mining, marine, and transportation. They are often used in applications where a secure and permanent termination point is required for wire ropes, cables, and chains.

When selecting wire rope sockets, it is important to consider factors such as the size and type of wire rope or cable, the working load limit, and the specific application requirements. It is also essential to follow proper installation procedures and regularly inspect and maintain the sockets to ensure their continued performance and safety.
