Wedge Sockets

The Terminator

Crosby’s New and Improved Wedge Socket

S421T Drawing S4521T'
  • Basket is cast steel.
  • Wedge socket terminations have an effeciency rating of 80% based on the catalog
    strength of XXIP wire rope.
  • Crosby products meet or exceed all the
    requirements of ASME B30.26 including identification, ductility, design factor,
    proof load and temperature requirements.  Importantly, Crosby products
    meet other critical performance requirements including fatigue life, impact
    properties and material traceability, not addressed by ASME B20.26.
  • 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.
  • 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 wedge, is left undeformed and available for
    reuse.
  • 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.
  • 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 and foreign equivalents.
