The Crosby S-423T Super TERMINATOR™ is the first wedge socket designed to take advantage of
the performance properties associated with high performance, high strength, compacted strand,
rotation resistant wire rope.
The Super TERMINATOR® offers several advantages over
traditional methods of wedge socket terminations:
- The innovative design will significantly increase the termination S-423T
efficiency over existing wedge sockets available today.
Super
- Terminations on most ropes have a minimum efficiency rating
of 80% of the rope’s catalog breaking strength. Terminator ®
- Design eliminates the difficulty of properly seating the wedge with
high performance, high strength, compacted strand, rotation
resistant wire rope into a wedge socket termination.
- Proper application of the Super TERMINATOR®
eliminates the “first load” requirement of
conventional wedge socket terminations.
- US Patent 8,375,527 B1.
Additional features:
- Wire rope sizes available:
5/8” -1 1/4”, 14 mm- 32 mm
- Available as a complete assembly, or as a wedge
kit that can be retrofitted onto existing Crosby
S-421T TERMINATOR® wedge sockets.
- Wedge accessories provided with a zinc finish.
- Meets or exceeds all ASME B30.26 requirements
including: identification, ductility, design factor, proof
load, and temperature requirements. Importantly, they
meet other critical performance criteria not addressed
by ASME B30.26 including: fatigue life, impact properties
and material traceability.
- Available with bolt, nut and cotter (S-423TB)
