Crosby® The Terminator™ Wedge Socket

Crosby® The Terminator™ Wedge Socket
  • Wedge Sockets – Warnings & Application Instructions
  • 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.

1. The wire rope should pass through the “Go” hole in the wedge.
2. The wire rope should NOT pass through the “No-Go” hole in the wedge.
• Utilizes standard Crosby Red-U-Bolt® wire rope clip.
• Generates a minimum efficiency of 80% based on the catalog breaking strength of wire rope.
• Standard S-421 wedge sockets can be retrofitted with the new style TERMINATOR™ wedge.
