| Efficiency
ratings of end terminations |
| |
This page lists several types of end
terminations used for overhead lifting applications.
All efficiency ratings are based on the difference between the actual breaking
strength of a rope and the attained breaking strength with that specific
fittings. The only fitting which will attain a 100% efficiency are spelter
sockets; provided they are properly attached. |
|
ALL other fittings are swaged or clamped
onto the rope. The swaging or clamping process compresses the rope to varying
degrees causing a slight loss of strength. Some publications refer to '100%'
efficiency with swaged sockets. Bear in mind, that most wire ropes have
an actual breaking strength up to approximately 5%-15% HIGHER
than the breaking strength listed in catalogue tables. With other words:
a fitting having an efficiency rating of 90% may very well develop 100%
of the rope's CATALOGUE breaking strength because the rope's
ACTUAL breaking may very well be 5%-15% higher. |

(1) Use only with 6-strand
wire rope. Efficiency rating depends on rope size and core type.
(2) Meets German DIN 3093 and prEN13411.
(3) Fabrication efficiency depends on fitting dimensions. Ask for information
on UNI-LOC™ Assemblies. |
