and retighten.
A termination made in accordance with the
above instructions, and using the number of
clips shown, has an approximate 80$% effi-
ciency rating. This rating is based upon the
catalog breaking strength of wire rope. If a
pulley is used in place of a thimble for turning
back the rope, add one additional clip.
The number of clips shown is based upon
using right regular or lang lay wire rope, 6x19
class or 6x37 class, fibre core or IWRC, IPS
or EIPS. If Scale construction or similar large
outer wire type construction in the 6x19 class
is to be used for sizes 1 in. and larger, add one
additional clip.
NOTE
The following information is
based upon the use of fist grip
clips on new rope.
The number of clips shown also applies to right
regular lay wire rope, 8x19 class, fibre core, IPS,
sizes 1-1/2 in. and smaller; and right regular lay
wire rope, 18x7 class, fibre core, IPS or EIPS,
sizes 1-1/2 and smaller.
One of the more popular end attachments for
wire rope is the wedge socket. For field or on-
the-job attachment, it is easily installed and
quickly dismantled.
Failure to install wedge sockets
in accordance with the following
instructions could cause DEATH
or serious injury.
The recommended method for the installation of
wedge sockets is as follows:
1. Inspect the wedge and socket. All rough
edges or burrs that might damage the rope
should be removed.
2. If the end of the rope is welded, the welded
end should be cut off. This will allow the dis-
tortions of the rope strands, caused by the
sharp bend around the wedge, to adjust
themselves at the end of the line. If the weld
is not cut off, the distortions will be forced up
the working line. This may result in the
development of high strands and wavy rope.
For other classes of wire rope not mentioned
above, it may be necessary to add additional clips
to the number shown.
