Open spelter socket for Favelle Favco

The ALHX-0012-3000 open spelter socket serves as a terminal connection point for anchoring steel wire ropes in heavy lifting applications. It provides a permanent termination point at the end of the rope, allowing for secure attachment to hooks, shackles, or fixed anchor points within the crane rigging system. The socket is designed to accommodate ropes ranging from 40 mm to 42 mm in diameter.

This component is engineered for use on Favelle Favco tower and pedestal cranes. The spelter process involves securing the prepared wire rope strands within the socket cone using molten metal, which creates a fixed connection for the lifting line. The design allows for visual inspection of the wire rope at the point where it enters the socket body.

Spelter sockets are used to terminate wire ropes by distributing the load across the individual wires of the rope. By encapsulating the broomed-out wire ends in a solid metal cone, the assembly ensures that the rope maintains its structural integrity under tension. Regular inspection of the socket and the rope entry point is necessary to monitor for signs of wear or environmental degradation in the rigging assembly.
