Wire Rope End Sockets

Crosby Utility Wedge Sockets. The US422T Wedge socket terminations have an efficiency rating of 80%. The wedges are color coded for easy identification: Blue - largest wire line size for socket; Black - mid size wire line for socket; Orange - smallest wire line size for socket.
Cast into each socket is the name "McKissick", "Crosby" or "CG", its model number and its wire line range.

Crosby wedge socket designed especially for high performance rope. 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 rope. 

Crosby Wedge Sockets. Includes Socket, Wedge, Pin and Wire Rope Clip.

On the Crosby S421 Wedge Sockets, the pin diameter and jaw opening allows the wedge and socket to be used in conjunction with open swage and spelter sockets. It 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.

Crosby S501 Open Swage Sockets. These 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. Forged from special bar quality carbon steel, suitable for cold forming. Hardness controlled by spheroidize annealing.
