McKissick® 417 Closed Spelter Sockets

The McKissick® 417 Closed Spelter Sockets are mechanical fittings used for terminating wire ropes in various applications. These sockets are designed to provide a secure and reliable connection point for wire ropes, ensuring efficient load transfer and minimizing the risk of failure.
The closed spelter socket design features a forged steel body with a socket-shaped cavity that accommodates the wire rope. Unlike open spelter sockets, the closed version has a solid side, which means the wire rope is inserted through the closed end of the socket. The socket is typically secured to a structure or another component using bolts or pins.
One of the key features of the McKissick® 417 Closed Spelter Sockets is their high load capacity. These sockets are engineered to withstand heavy loads and are commonly used in applications such as lifting and rigging, cranes, and hoists. The socket's design and construction ensure optimal strength and durability, making it suitable for demanding and critical operations.
The interior surface of the socket is precision-machined to match the contours of the wire rope, ensuring a secure grip and efficient load transfer. This design feature helps to distribute the load evenly across the socket and reduces stress concentrations that could weaken the wire rope.
The McKissick® 417 Closed Spelter Sockets are typically manufactured in compliance with industry standards and undergo rigorous testing to ensure their reliability and performance. These sockets are often used in conjunction with other wire rope accessories, such as thimbles and clips, to create a complete and secure wire rope termination system.
