Crosby S-421T Wedge Sockets

Crosby S-421T Wedge Sockets offer 80% efficiency and a secure "no-punch-out" wedge design for safe and easy wire rope termination.

Product Overview

Crosby S-421T Wedge Sockets are high-performance wire rope terminations designed to secure the "dead end" of a wire rope. These sockets utilize a unique design that secures the tail of the wire rope to the wedge, eliminating the potential for wedge loss or "punch out" while removing the need for an extra piece of rope for installation.

 

The socket basket is constructed from cast steel and is individually magnetic particle inspected to ensure structural integrity. These terminations offer an efficiency rating of 80% based on the catalog strength of XXIP wire rope.
