Product Description
Wedge socket terminations have an efficiency rating of 80% based on the catalog strength of XXI wire rope.
• Meets or exceeds all requirements of ASME B30.26 including identification, ductilit , design factor, proof load and temperature requirements. Importantly, these sockets meet other critical performance requirements including fatigue life, impact properties and material traceability, not addressed by ASME B30.26.
• Type Approval certification in accordance with ABS RULES FOR CONDITIONS OF CLASSIFICAION, PART 1 2017 STEEL VESSELS AND ABS GUIDE FOR CERTIFICATION OF LIFTING APPLIANCES 2017 available. Certificates available when requested at time of order and may include additional charges
• Basket is cast steel and individually magnetic particle inspected.
• Pin diameter and jaw opening allows wedge and socket to be used in conjunction with closed 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.
• 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 through 1-1/8 standard S-421 wedge socket can be retrofitted with the new style TERMINATOR wedge.
• Available with Bolt, Nut, and Cotter Pin.
• U.S. patent 5,553,360, Canada patent 2,217,004 and foreign equivalents.
• Meets the performance requirements of EN 13411-6.
• Available with API-2C certification upon request
* Nominal NOTE: For intermediate wire rope sizes, use next larger size socket. The S-423T Super TERMINATOR wedge is designed to be assembled only into the Crosby S-421T TERMINATOR socket body. IMPORTANT: The S-423TW for sizes 5/8” through 1-1/8” (14mm through 28mm) will fit respective size standard Crosby S-421T basket. The 1-1/4” (30-32mm) S-423TW will only fit the Crosby S-421T 1-1/4” basket marked with TERMINATOR.
