Welcome to Associated Wire Rope & Rigging .
Details the OSS series featuring a high-security pin connection. Supporting an extensive MBL range from 9 to 3527 UStons, these sockets accommodate wire diameters from 6mm to 204mm (1/4″ to 8″). The document provides a complete dimensional matrix for models OSS 196 P through OSS 180 P, highlighting their quenched and tempered steel construction and standard blue primer or galvanized finishes.
The Open Spelter Socket with Pin is a critical securement component designed for high-capacity lifting and structural rigging. Manufactured from quenched and tempered cast steel, these sockets provide a robust termination point for wire ropes and strands, ensuring maximum load transfer and stability in the most demanding maritime and industrial environments.
Below is a partial specification table. Please contact our technical team for full dimensional details (A, B, C, D, H), MBL verification, and strand diameter requirements based on your specific application.
⚠ Safety Warning: Always adhere to the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) and ensure that the wire rope or strand is properly seated and speltered by qualified personnel. Surface finishes like galvanizing may add to overall thickness; always verify fit prior to use. Refer to the comprehensive safety documentation on pages 136-149 for full installation and maintenance procedures.
