S-421T    
  • 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.
  • 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:
  • The wire rope should pass thru the “Go” hole in the wedge.
  • The wire rope should NOT pass thru the “No-Go” hole in the wedge.
  • Utilizes standard Crosby Red-U-Bolt wire rope clip.
  • Wedge socket terminations have an effeciency rating of 80% based on the catalog strength of XXIP wire rope.
  • 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.
