Wire Rope Strand Terminations

Wire Rope & Strand Terminations

CHOICE OF WIRE ROPE TERMINATIONS
The choice of the correct wire rope termination is second in importance only to the selection of the most suitable wire rope for a particular application. In addition, the attachment of terminations to ropes should be carried out with the necessary skill and equipment to ensure that the load can be effectively transferred from the rope to the termination. When ropes are being replaced the terminations should be checked to ensure they are in good mechanical order before re-use.
WARNING
Wire Rope Terminations must be applied to the correct size and construction of wire rope. Wire Rope Terminations must always be fitted in accordance with any manufacturers recommendations. Incorrect use or application of Wire Rope Terminations can result in an unsafe condition, which could lead to property damage, serious injury or death. Special purpose or high technology wire ropes such as Casar may exceed the capacity of standard terminations. Swage Fittings must always be swaged by a competent person using a suitable wire rope press and dies in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

Nobles Threaded Swage Fitting Rigging Screws

Threaded swage fittings may be fitted to rigging screws provided that compatibility is assured. The appropriate size rigging screw is one with a Grade L load rating, which matches the WLL of the rope assembly. Nobles standard Grade P rigging screws can be used but must be derated to Grade L capacity when a stud end is fitted. Rigging screws of different types and brand may have different thread tolerances and barrel lengths. Details of the barrels intended for use or sample barrels should be provided to ensure correct fitment. Nobles stud end swage fittings fittings have a thread tolerance that matches Nobles rigging screw barrels. Stud end swage fitting thread orientation should match the wire rope lay - i.e. RH thread for RHOL rope.

CROSBY OPEN SWAGE SOCKETS
Forged from special bar quality carbon steel, suitable for cold forming. Hardness controlled by spheroidize annealing. Swage Socket terminations have an efficiency rating of 100% based on the catalogue strength of wire rope. Stamp for identification after swaging without concern for fractures. Crosby S-501 Swage Sockets are recommended for use on 6 x 19 - 6 x 41 IWRC 1770 or 1960 grade wire rope. Before using on any other construction or grade of rope the termination should be destruction tested to determine the adequacy of the assembly to be manufactured.
Crosby swage sockets incorporate a reduced machined area of the shank, which is equivalent to the proper after swage dimension. Before, swaging, this provides for an obvious visual difference in the shank diameter. After swaging, a uniform shank diameter is created allowing for a QUIC-CHECK and permanent visual inspection opportunity. Designed to quickly determine whether the socket has been through the swaging operation and assist in field inspections, it does not eliminate the need to perform standard production inspections which include gauging for the proper after swage dimensions or proof load testing.

NOBLES OPEN SWAGE SOCKETS
Nobles Open and Closed Swage Sockets have been developed to suit different purposes. As such they ARE NOT designed with compatable interface dimensions. If this is a requirement then this should be specified at the time of order or Crosby sockets should be used. Nobles Open Swage Sockets are recommended for use on 6 x 19 - 6 x 36 IWRC 1770 grade wire rope (and strand) as designated in the table below. Before using on any other construction or grade of rope the termination should be destruction tested to determine the adequacy of the assembly to be manufactured. The difference between end fittings suitable for wire rope and strand is the swaged length. Nobles type testing has demonstrated that to reliably achieve the required strength the following minimum swaged lengths are required: 7 x rope nominal diameter for wire ropes 10 x strand nominal diameter for strand
WARNING
Swage sockets must be applied to the correct size and construction of wire rope. Swage sockets must always be swaged by a competent person using a suitable wire rope press and dies in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

WIRELOCK
WIRELOCK is a two pack socket capping compound that has the following advantages: No heat No acid No hazardous molten metal No long cooling/curing process No annealing of wires at socket neck No guessing of temperature No loss of lubricant at socket neck No special storage conditions No expensive equipment Provides 100% efficiency Improves fatigue life Is suitable for operation in extremes of temperature Is ideal for on site application Is approved by Lloyds Register of Shipping and Det Norske Veritas (D.N.V.)
WIRELOCK
Why choose WIRELOCK ?
Because
1. WIRELOCK is a convenient and very simple system to use. There are no special preparations, no external heat is required and the system can even be used on site, at temperatures down to and slightly below 0C. 2. Sockets, poured with WIRELOCK, can be put into service within 50 minutes, in a temperature range of 18C to 24C. 3. The use of WIRELOCK eliminates the need for heating socket assemblies, melting metal and handling the molten metal. It also has the advantage of being considerably lighter than white metal, making the subsequent handling of the socket easier. 4. WIRELOCK is currently used in conjunction with virtually all the commercially available sockets and ropes. Other nonstandard uses include short basket sockets, armoured cables and umbilical cables incorporating a strain member. 5. In common with most other resin systems WIRELOCK has no problem in coping with cold or extremely cold operating conditions, but does have a recommended upper operating limit of 115C (a series of creep tests confirm, however, that WIRELOCK is much more efficient than zinc at 130C). 6. WIRELOCK performs very well under the most hostile environments. The only exceptions being immersion in strong alkaline solutions, such as caustic soda, or strong acids. 7. The lack of heat, during the pouring process, means that there is no annealing of the wires and the grease within the rope at the neck of the socket remains intact. This decreases the chance of local, severe or internal corrosion in service.

WARNING
Incorrect use of WIRELOCK can result in an unsafe termination which may lead to property damage, serious injury or death. Do not use WIRELOCK with stainless steel wire rope in salt water environment applications. Use only soft annealed iron wire for seizing. Do not use any other wire (copper, brass, stainless, etc) for seizing. Never use an assembly until the WIRELOCK has gelled and cured. Remove any non-metallic coating from the broomed area. Sockets with large grooves need to have those grooves filled before use with WIRELOCK. WIRELOCK resin, in liquid state, is flammable. Chemicals used in this product can give off toxic fumes and can burn eyes and skin. Never use out-of-date material. Use only in well-ventilated work areas. Never breathe fumes directly or for extended time. Always wear safety glasses to protect eyes. Always wear gloves to protect hands and avoid direct contact with skin.

CROSBY TERMINATOR WEDGE SOCKETS
Where a wedge type socket is fitted to a wire rope, the nominal diameter of the wire rope shall be equal to the nominal size of the wedge-type socket and the loaded end of the rope shall enter the socket body so that when loaded it will not bend where it leaves the socket body. Where wedge-type sockets are used with rotation resistant wire rope, extra care must be taken in the brazing of the ends or in serving the rope before fitting to prevent disturbance to the rope construction.
Inspection Before Use

1. Always inspect socket, wedge and pin before using. 2. Do not use any parts showing deformation, excessive wear, nicks, gouges or excessive corrosion. 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. Standard S-421 wedge socket can be retrofitted with the new style TERMINATOR wedge Crosby Terminator Wedge Sockets incorporate the QUIC-CHECK Go and No-Go feature cast into the wedge. The wire rope should pass through the Go hole in the wedge and should NOT pass through the No-Go hole. Generates a minimum efficiency of 80% based on the breaking strength of grade 1960 wire rope. Sizes range suits wire ropes 10 - 32mm
Care In Use
1. Do not use modified or substitute parts and do not mix and match wedges or pins between models or sizes. 2. Repair minor nicks or gouges to socket or pin by lightly grinding until surfaces are smooth. Do not reduce original dimension more than 10%. Do not repair by welding. 3. Inspect permanent assemblies as required and frequently in severe operating conditions. 4. Always select the proper wedge and socket for the wire rope size.

CROSBY SUPER TERMINATOR

The Crosby S-423T Super TERMINATOR is the first wedge socket designed to take advantage of the performance properties associated with high performance, high strength, compacted strand, rotation resistant wire ropes. The Super TERMINATOR offers several advantages over traditional methods of wedge socket terminations. The innovative design will significantly increase the termination efficiency over existing wedge sockets available today. Terminations on most ropes have a minimum efficiency rating of 80% of the rope's catalogue breaking strength. Patent pending design eliminates the difficulty of installing high performance, high strength, compacted strand, rotation resistant wire rope into a wedge socket termination. Proper application of the Super TERMINATOR eliminates the first load requirement of conventional wedge socket terminations. Meets or exceeds all ASME B30.26 requirements including: identification, ductility, design factor, proof load and temperature requirements. Importantly, they meet other critical performance criteria not addressed by ASME B30.26 including fatigue life, impact properties and material traceability. Available with bolt, nut and cotter (S-423TB). 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 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 tension device, is left undeformed and available for reuse.
Additional features:
Wire rope sizes available 14mm - 32mm Available as a complete assembly, or as a wedge kit that can be retrofitted onto existing Crosby S-421 TERMINATOR wedge sockets. Wedge accessories provided with a zinc finish.
NOTE: Due to the unique construction of various ropes, Crosby cannot make a broad general statement that all current and future design ropes, when properly assembled with the Super TERMINATOR will achieve a minimum 80% termination efficiency. Contact Nobles to determine efficiency rating for a specific rope.

WIRE ROPE GRIPS TO AS 2076
When properly applied, wire rope grips afford a simple mechanical means of securing the end of a wire rope. They are appropriate for temporarily securing the end of a wire rope that may need to be shortened from the gripped end. Inspection: A termination made with wire rope grips is to be inspected at regular intervals. The nuts may require further adjustment. Live Running Ropes: Wire rope grips shall not be used for making terminations on live running ropes (i.e. One that applies force to a moving object) nor where the rope is required to support persons or dangerous or substantial loads. Rope Lengthening: Wire rope grips should not be used where there is a likelihood of the rope having to be lengthened at that end. Lengthening would bring at least part of the rope on which the grip had been fastened into a position now subject to full load. The danger is that this part of the rope may have been damaged by the effects of fatigue or by pressure exerted by the grip. Method of Application: The efficiency of a wire rope termination made with wire rope grips depends on the number per connection, the correct placement on the rope, and the care and skill in the fitting and tightening of the grips. The number of wire rope grips per connection should not be less than the minimum specified in the table. Incorrect method of fitting wire rope grips The tightening torque applied to the nuts should always comply with any recommendations provided by the manufacturer; however, where recommendations are not provided by the manufacturer, the tightening torque applied to the nuts should comply with recommendations given in the table.
Not to be used for lifting

The grips in a connection should be spaced along the wire rope at distances between adjacent grips of approximately six rope diameters, with the position of the grip nearest the end connection as shown. The sequence of tightening an assembly of wire rope grips on a wire rope connection after they have been correctly positioned is from the thimble outwards.

WARNING
Wire rope grips should not be used for lifting purposes and are not intended for the permanent fastening of a rope that is subject to high dynamic loading. Where wire rope grips are fitted to rope constructed of higher grade wire than 1770 MPa IWRC, the assembly may need to be derated or additional grips may be required.

CABLE GRIPS
A Cable Grip is a woven sleeve and eye which fits onto a cable to become an attachment point for hauling and/or securing the cable. Also referred to as a sock, stocking or puller.
Safety Factor
A safety factor of at least 3:1 is recommended for general hauling applications where the correct grip has been correctly fitted. Using this as a guide, each hauling application should be evaluated on its own merit to determine an appropriate safety factor.
Operational Characteristics
Because of its unique helical design the cable grip will immediately shrink onto the cable when fitted over the end of the cable. When load is applied to the cable grip, via the hauling rope, the effective grip increases in proportion to the axial load placed upon it. A properly selected and fitted cable grip, used under correct operating procedure, should never slip.
Grip Types
Tubular These grips are of cylindrical construction of 1 to 5 plys (depending on strength requirements) with 1 of 3 eye styles for various applications. These are the most common type of grips and are fitted over the end of the cable.
Heat Shrink
NCG grips are fitted with a medium wall glue lined heat shrink behind the ferrule to cover the protruding wires and reduce the risk associated will manual handling.
Identification
All NCG Cable Grips are stamped on the ferrule with the NCG logo and their corresponding breaking strength, size range and serial number. Lace-Up
WARNING
NCG Cable Grips are NOT lifting devices. ALWAYS Select the correct grip for the particular job. Store in a clean dry environment. Store monofilament nylon grips away from sunlight. Store every grip before and after each pull. Prepare cable ends by chamfering the end to approx. 30. Approximately 30mm from the mouth end of the grip it is recommended that anchoring or binding is used to guard against accidental release and ensure maximum reliability. It is also helpful to tape down securely the mouth end of the grip to reduce the risk of fouling. NEVER Use a grip of incorrect size or specification. Use a damaged grip. Push the mouth of any grip against flat surfaces. Haul over abrasive surfaces, however if this is not possible ensure regular inspections of the grip.
These grips are a flat construction. This allows the grip to be wrapped around the cable at any position then secured by a lace. These grips are used where it is impractical to use a tubular grip which has to be fitted and removed over the end of the cable. Lace-up grips can also be used in the central portion of a hauling job to load share with a tubular grip. These grips are available in offset eye and double eye types.
Eye Styles
Single Eye These are single eye, integrally woven on the central axis of the grip. These are used mainly for general cable hauling. Offset Eye This style allows the cable to be passed through the grip so as to secure the grip at any point along the cable. It is used mainly for strain relief. Double Eye Again this eye type allows the cable to pass through the grip. The extra eye allows the cable to be lifted into position with one eye whilst the other eye is used to anchor the cable to a fixture.
The Strength of Grips

Strengths shown in tables are Ultimate Tensile Strengths tested on the mean cable diameter. Since field conditions offer such a magnitude of variable factors it is difficult to list a guaranteed strength. The main factors that will reduce the strength of a Cable Grip are uneven load on the strand, caused by irregularities in the cable end, and abrasion of the wires. Fitting an incorrect size grip will lead to premature failure. Further, always inspect a cable grip for signs of wear; a damaged grip should be replaced.
