Nobles Threaded Swage Fitting Rigging Screws

Threaded swage fittings may be fitted to rigging screws providedthat compatibility is assured. The appropriate size rigging screwis one with a Grade L load rating, which matches the WLL of the

rope assembly. Nobles standard Grade P rigging screws can beused but must be derated to Grade L capacity when a stud endis fitted.

Rigging screws of different types and brand may have differentthread tolerances and barrel lengths. Details of the barrelsintended for use or sample barrels should be provided to ensurecorrect fitment. Nobles stud end swage fittings fittings have athread tolerance that matches Nobles rigging screw barrels.Stud end swage fitting thread orientation should match the wirerope lay - i.e. RH thread for RHOL rope.

CROSBY OPEN SWAGE SOCKETS

Forged from special bar quality carbon steel, suitable for cold

forming. Hardness controlled by spheroidize annealing.

Swage Socket terminations have an efficiency rating of 100%based on the catalogue strength of wire rope.

Stamp for identification after swaging without concern forfractures.

Crosby swage sockets incorporate a reduced machined area of theshank, which is equivalent to the proper after swage dimension.Before, swaging, this provides for an obvious visual difference inthe shank diameter. After swaging, a uniform shank diameter iscreated allowing for a QUIC-CHECK and permanent visualinspection opportunity.

Designed to quickly determine whether the socket has been

through the swaging operation and assist in field inspections, itdoes not eliminate the need to perform standard productioninspections which include gauging for the proper after swagedimensions or proof load testing.

WARNING

Swage sockets must be applied to the correct size andconstruction of wire rope.

Swage sockets must always be swaged by a competentperson using a suitable wire rope press and dies inaccordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

Incorrect use or application of swage sockets can result in anunsafe termination, which could lead to property damage,serious injury or death.

WIRELOCK

WIRELOCK is a two pack

socket capping compoundthat has the followingadvantages:

No heat

No acid

No hazardousmolten metal

No long cooling/curingprocess

No annealing of wiresat socket neck

No guessing of temperature

No loss of lubricantat socket neck

No special storageconditions

No expensive equipment

Provides 100% efficiency

Improves fatigue life

Is suitable for operationin extremes oftemperature

Is ideal for on siteapplication

Is approved by Lloyds Register of Shippingand Det Norske Veritas (D.N.V.)

Minimum amount of Wirelock required for agiven size of wire rope socket

Why chooseWIRELOCK

?

Because -

1. WIRELOCK is a convenient and very simple system to use.There are no special preparations, no external heat isrequired and the system can even be used on site, attemperatures down to and slightly below 0C.

2. Sockets, poured with WIRELOCK, can be put into servicewithin 50 minutes, in a temperature range of 18C to 24C.

3. The use of WIRELOCK eliminates the need for heating socketassemblies, melting metal and handling the molten metal.It also has the advantage of being considerably lighter thanwhite metal, making the subsequent handling of the socketeasier.

4. WIRELOCK is currently used in conjunction with virtually allthe commercially available sockets and ropes. Other non-standard uses include short basket sockets, armoured cablesand umbilical cables incorporating a strain member.

5. In common with most other resin systems WIRELOCK hasno problem in coping with cold or extremely cold operatingconditions, but does have a recommended upper operatinglimit of 115C (a series of creep tests confirm, however, thatWIRELOCK is much more efficient than zinc at 130C).

6. WIRELOCK performs very well under the most hostileenvironments. The only exceptions being immersion in strongalkaline solutions, such as caustic soda, or strong acids.

7. The lack of heat, during the pouring process, means thatthere is no annealing of the wires and the grease within the

rope at the neck of the socket remains intact. This decreasesthe chance of local, severe or internal corrosion in service.

8. WIRELOCK has the approval of Lloyds Register of Shippingas a socketing system.

WARNING

Incorrect use of WIRELOCK can result in an unsafetermination which may lead to property damage, seriousinjury or death.

Do not use WIRELOCK with stainless steel wire rope in saltwater environment applications.

Use only soft annealed iron wire for seizing.

Do not use any other wire (copper, brass, stainless, etc) forseizing.

Never use an assembly until the WIRELOCK has gelled andcured.

Remove any non-metallic coating from the broomed area.

Sockets with large grooves need to have those grooves filledbefore use with WIRELOCK.

WIRELOCK resin, in liquid state, is flammable.

Chemicals used in this product can give off toxic fumes andcan burn eyes and skin.

Never use out-of-date material.

Use only in well-ventilated work areas.

Never breathe fumes directly or for extended time.

Always wear safety glasses to protect eyes.

Always wear gloves to protect hands and avoid direct contactwith skin.

Sizes range suits wire ropes 10 - 32mm

WARNING

Loads may slip or fall if the wedge socket is not installedcorrectly

Read and understand the instructions before installing andusing the wedge socket

Apply the first load to fully seat the wedge and wire rope in thesocket. This load should be equal to or greater than the loadsexpected in use

Do not interchange wedges between different brands and sizes

Where a wedge type socket is fitted to a wire rope, the nominal

diameter of the wire rope shall be equal to the nominal size ofthe wedge-type socket and the loaded end of the rope shall enterthe socket body so that when loaded it will not bend where itleaves the socket body. Where wedge-type sockets are used withrotation resistant wire rope, extra care must be taken in thebrazing of the ends or in serving the rope before fitting toprevent disturbance to the rope construction.

Inspection Before Use

1. Always inspect socket, wedge and pin before using.

2. Do not use any parts showing deformation, excessive wear,nicks, gouges or excessive corrosion.

Care In Use

1. Do not use modified or substitute parts and do not mix and

match wedges or pins between models or sizes.

2. Repair minor nicks or gouges to socket or pin by lightlygrinding until surfaces are smooth. Do not reduce originaldimension more than 10%. Do not repair by welding.

3. Inspect permanent assemblies as required and frequently insevere operating conditions.

4. Always select the proper wedge and socket for the wire ropesize.

CROSBY SUPER TERMINATOR

The Crosby S-423T Super TERMINATOR is the first wedge socket

designed to take advantage of the performance propertiesassociated with high performance, high strength, compactedstrand, rotation resistant wire ropes.

The Super TERMINATOR offers several advantages over traditionalmethods of wedge socket terminations.

The innovative design will significantly increase the terminationefficiency over existing wedge sockets available today.

Terminations on most ropes have a minimum efficiency ratingof 80% of the rope's catalogue breaking strength.

Patent pending design eliminates the difficulty of installinghigh performance, high strength, compacted strand, rotationresistant wire rope into a wedge socket termination.

Proper application of the Super TERMINATOR eliminates thefirst load requirement of conventional wedge socket

terminations.Additional features:

Wire rope sizes available 14mm - 32mm

Available as a complete assembly, or as a wedge kit that canbe retrofitted onto existing Crosby S-421 TERMINATORwedge sockets.

Wedge accessories provided with a zinc finish.

Meets or exceeds all ASME B30.26 requirements including:

identification, ductility, design factor, proof load andtemperature requirements. Importantly, they meet othercritical performance criteria not addressed by ASME B30.26including fatigue life, impact properties and materialtraceability.

Available with bolt, nut and cotter (S-423TB).

Basket is cast steel and individually magneticparticle inspected.

Pin diameter and jaw opening allows wedgeand socket to be used in conjunction withclosed swage and spelter sockets.

Secures the tail or dead end of the wirerope to the wedge, thus eliminates lossor punch-out of the wedge.

Eliminates the need for an extrapiece of rope and is easilyinstalled.

The TERMINATOR wedgeeliminates the potentialbreaking off of the taildue to fatigue.

The tail, which issecured by the base ofthe clip and the tensiondevice, is left undeformedand available for reuse.

NOTE: Due to the uniqueconstruction of various ropes,

Crosby cannot make a broadgeneral statement that all currentand future design ropes, whenproperly assembled with theSuper TERMINATOR will achievea minimum 80% terminationefficiency. Contact Nobles todetermine efficiency rating fora specific rope.

The grips in a connection should be spaced along the wire rope at

distances between adjacent grips of approximately six ropediameters, with the position of the grip nearest the endconnection as shown.

The sequence of tightening an assembly of wire rope grips on awire rope connection after they have been correctly positioned isfrom the thimble outwards.

The tightening torque applied to the nuts should always complywith any recommendations provided by the manufacturer;however, where recommendations are not provided by themanufacturer, the tightening torque applied to the nuts shouldcomply with recommendations given in the table.

WIRE ROPE GRIPS - Not to be used for lifting

TO AS 2076

When properly applied, wirerope grips afford a simplemechanical means ofsecuring the end of a wirerope. They are appropriatefor temporarily securing theend of a wire rope that mayneed to be shortened fromthe gripped end.

Inspection: A terminationmade with wire rope grips isto be inspected at regularintervals. The nuts may require further adjustment.

Live Running Ropes: Wire rope grips shall not be used for

making terminations on live running ropes (i.e. One that appliesforce to a moving object) nor where the rope is required tosupport persons or dangerous or substantial loads.

Rope Lengthening: Wire rope grips should not be used wherethere is a likelihood of the rope having to be lengthened at that end.Lengthening would bring at least part of the rope on which the griphad been fastened into a position now subject to full load. Thedanger is that this part of the rope may have been damaged by theeffects of fatigue or by pressure exerted by the grip.

Method of Application: The efficiency of a wire rope terminationmade with wire rope grips depends on the number perconnection, the correct placement on the rope, and the care andskill in the fitting and tightening of the grips.

The number of wire rope grips per connection should not be lessthan the minimum specified in the table.

Correct method of fitting wire rope grips

Incorrect method of fitting wire rope grips

WARNING

Wire rope grips should not be used for lifting purposes andare not intended for the permanent fastening of a rope that issubject to high dynamic loading.

Where wire rope grips are fitted to rope constructed of highergrade wire than 1770 MPa IWRC, the assembly may need tobe derated or additional grips may be required.

CABLE GRIPS

A Cable Grip is a woven sleeve and eye which fits onto a cable to

become an attachment point for hauling and/or securing thecable. Also referred to as a sock, stocking or puller.

Operational Characteristics

Because of its unique helical design the cable grip willimmediately shrink onto the cable when fitted over the end ofthe cable. When load is applied to the cable grip, via the haulingrope, the effective grip increases in proportion to the axial loadplaced upon it. A properly selected and fitted cable grip, usedunder correct operating procedure, should never slip.

Heat Shrink

NCG grips are fitted with a medium wall glue lined heat shrinkbehind the ferrule to cover the protruding wires and reduce the

risk associated will manual handling.

Identification

All NCG Cable Grips are stamped on the ferrule with the NCG logoand their corresponding breaking strength, size range and serialnumber.

The Strength of Grips

Strengths shown in tables are Ultimate Tensile Strengths testedon the mean cable diameter. Since field conditions offer such amagnitude of variable factors it is difficult to list a guaranteed

strength. The main factors that will reduce the strength of a CableGrip are uneven load on the strand, caused by irregularities in thecable end, and abrasion of the wires. Fitting an incorrect size gripwill lead to premature failure. Further, always inspect a cable gripfor signs of wear; a damaged grip should be replaced.

Safety Factor

A safety factor of at least 3:1 is recommended for general haulingapplications where the correct grip has been correctly fitted.Using this as a guide, each hauling application should beevaluated on its own merit to determine an appropriate safetyfactor.

Grip Types

Tubular

These grips are of cylindrical construction of 1 to 5 plys(depending on strength requirements) with 1 of 3 eye stylesfor various applications. These are the most common typeof grips and are fitted over the end of the cable.

Lace-Up

These grips are a flat construction. This allows the grip to bewrapped around the cable at any position then secured by a lace.These grips are used where it is impractical to use a tubular gripwhich has to be fitted and removed over the end of the cable.Lace-up grips can also be used in the central portion of a haulingjob to load share with a tubular grip. These grips are available inoffset eye and double eye types.

Eye Styles

Single Eye

These are single eye, integrally woven on the central axis of thegrip. These are used mainly for general cable hauling.

Offset Eye

This style allows the cable to be passed through the grip so as tosecure the grip at any point along the cable. It is used mainly forstrain relief.

Double Eye

Again this eye type allows the cable to pass through the grip.The extra eye allows the cable to be lifted into position with oneeye whilst the other eye is used to anchor the cable to a fixture.

WARNING

NCG Cable Grips are NOT lifting devices.

ALWAYS

Select the correct grip for the particular job.

Store in a clean dry environment.

Store monofilament nylon grips away from sunlight.

Store every grip before and after each pull.

Prepare cable ends by chamfering the end to approx. 30.

Approximately 30mm from the mouth end of the grip it isrecommended that anchoring or binding is used to guardagainst accidental release and ensure maximum reliability. It isalso helpful to tape down securely the mouth end of the grip toreduce the risk of fouling.

NEVER

Use a grip of incorrect size or specification.

Use a damaged grip.

Push the mouth of any grip against flat surfaces.

Haul over abrasive surfaces, however if this is not possibleensure regular inspections of the grip.
