Green Pin ® wedge sockets may be used within the range of wire rope diameters as shown in the table further on in the catalogue. When using open wedge sockets the following precautions should be taken: • before use always inspect the socket, the wedge and the pin • use only with standard 6-8 strand wire rope • always be sure that socket and wedge have the correct size for the wire rope diameter • the loaded part of the steel wire rope should be mounted in the centre line of the pin • when installing the wire rope, always pre-load the wedge with the wire rope in place • never weld the tail on standard wire rope; the tail should have a length of at least 6 times the wire rope dia- meter with a minimum of 150 mm, secure the dead end of the rope with a wire rope clip as shown in figure 3 • before applying the first load always use a hammer to seat the wedge and rope as deep as possible into the socket • check the assembly regularly to re-tighten or re-position if necessary • never side load the wedge socket as it has not been designed for that purpose • load may slip if the connection is not properly installed • the efficiency of a wire rope - wedge socket connection is 80% of the minimum breaking load of the wire but limited to the minimum breaking load of the socket • only use the original wedge supplied by the manufacturer of the socket and be sure it is suitable for the diameter of the rope used • never use a wedge from any other supplier than the original socket supplier as the dimensions will not match Figure 2 Figure 3 RIGHT RIGHT WRONG WRONG
