Sockets

Open Spelter Socket With PIN

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.

Engineered for Ultimate Structural Integrity: High-Performance Open Spelter Sockets

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.

Maximum Safety Features
  • Premium Material: Manufactured from Quenched and Tempered Cast Steel for superior fatigue resistance and structural durability.
  • High Breaking Loads: Standard capacities range from a Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) of 9 UStons up to 3527 UStons.
  • Quality Certified: All sockets are provided with an EN 10204-2.1 declaration of conformity and an EN 10204-3.1 material certificate.
  • Corrosion Protection: Standard finish includes blue primer coating and hot-dipped galvanizing (models OSS 196 through OSS 100 are galvanized only).
Industrial Flexibility
  • Extensive Wire Compatibility: Precision-engineered for wire rope diameters ranging from 1/4″ to 8″ and strands from 2/16″ to 7-1/2″.
  • Critical Tolerances: Manufactured with dimensional tolerances of ±5% for the jaw opening (W) and pin diameter (ØP) to ensure a secure fit.
  • Adaptable Design: Suitable for a wide variety of mobile crane, crawler crane, and offshore structural applications.
  • Custom Engineering: While standard models cover most industrial needs, custom dimensional tolerances and finishes are available upon request.

Open Spelter Socket (with Pin) Technical Specifications

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.
