McKissick® 416 Open Spelter Sockets

The McKissick® 416 Open Spelter Sockets are specialized mechanical fittings used in wire rope applications. These sockets are designed to provide a secure and reliable termination point for wire ropes, ensuring efficient load transfer and minimizing the risk of failure.
The open spelter socket design consists of a forged steel body with a socket-shaped cavity that accommodates the wire rope. The socket has an open side, allowing for easy installation and inspection of the wire rope. The socket is typically secured to a structure or another component using bolts or pins.
One of the key features of the McKissick® 416 Open Spelter Sockets is their high load capacity. They are designed to withstand heavy loads and are often 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 socket's interior surface 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, which can weaken the wire rope.
The McKissick® 416 Open Spelter Sockets are typically manufactured in accordance with industry standards and undergo rigorous testing to ensure their reliability and performance. They 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.
