  • Ropeblock, your partner for standard and custom designed sockets

    s e e o u r w a r n i n g a n d s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n4

    Ropeblocks product portfolio of lifting products is well established.

    After the initial introduction, two decades ago, Ropeblocks socket line

    has become the industry standard for many end-users and lifting system

    designers. Wire rope manufacturers worldwide consider Ropeblock to

    be the brand of choice for their rope. Our time proven design has been

    awarded with both DNV and Lloyds Register type approvals, establishing

    our unique position in the industry.

    Through our knowledge and experience as a crane block and swivel

    manufacturer, our sockets have been designed to meet the latest lifting

    standards. This is one of the reasons why many crane manufacturers

    specify Ropeblocks socket in their cranes and structures.

    The socket product line consists of sockets to be used with both general

    purpose as well as high performance ropes. They may be used for both

    quasi-static applications such as bridge suspensions, pendant lines etc.

    and of course also for more dynamic situations such as in lifting, rigging

    and mooring applications. Ropeblock sockets are used in extreme

    environments such as dredging, mining, arctic and subsea applications.

    Besides the standard line that is shown in this catalogue, Ropeblock can

    design, engineer and manufacture any special socket solution that a

    certain application might require.

    DistributionRopeblock has a strong and global network of stocking distributors. This

    ensures end-users and OEMs immediate availability to Ropeblock

    sockets.

  • Research and designRopeblocks engineering team is continuously researching the

    limits and limitation of socket design, material usage, application

    and certification requirements. These extensive studies have led to

    innovative designs with articles published in several industry leading

    trade magazines.

    Some of the key-features of Ropeblock sockets include: n A groove-less spelter design: this reduces peak stress areas,

    enabling the function of the wire-gripping-slide action n Anti-Rotation notch: this prevents the resin-wire mixture in

    the cone to rotate and move upwards in a zero-load situation n Sockets are castings: research has shown that, when

    subjected to multi-directional loads, a casting provides

    optimal load resistance, compared to forgings n Design and materials are optimized for fatigue resistance n 3D FEM analysis is done for each component

    MaterialOur standard socket range is available in quenched and tempered

    cast steel with mechanical properties meeting todays tough

    market requirements. The Short Bow range (SBS, p 17) is also made

    of quenched and tempered cast steel, with a different chemical

    composition and with extremely high mechanical properties

    s e e o u r w a r n i n g a n d s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n 5

  • to achieve an unmatched weight to MBL ratio. All our sockets are

    suitable for usage in a sub-zero temperature environment. Materials

    meet or exceed an impact value of > 42 Joule / -20C Charpy-V.

    All casting tolerances are in accordance with DIN 1683-1 GTB 17,

    unless otherwise specified.

    The Ropeblock socket is marked with size, wire rope diameter and

    batch or serial number. All parts are fully traceable to their certificate

    by batch or serial number marked on each component.

    TestingRopeblock sockets are subject to the most stringent surface and

    volumetric NDT procedures, excluding any risk for production flaws.

    These procedures are accepted by IACS authorities.

    Sockets can be proof loaded in accordance with the Ropeblock testing

    program, this implies testing up to 30% of the MBL of the socket.

    Higher proof loads are available upon request. In-house access to a

    vertical socket test bed, as well as a horizontal general purpose test

    bed is available to ensure fast reaction time. Custom designed testing

    tools have been developed to test all elements, including the cone

    (or spelter).

    FinishAll Wedge, Spelter and Fast and Super reeve Connector Sockets are

    finished with a Ropeblock-blue coating, or a hot dip galvanized finish.

    Swage sockets and sleeves are available in a self coloured finish.

    Special requirementsOur engineers are ready to work on any special requirements you may

    have. Advanced 3D CAD and Finite Element Method (FEM) techniques

    decrease the time-to-market of new innovative socket designs.

    These designs include, but are not limited to, different materials

    (e.g. stainless steel), advanced features (e.g. swivel socket), aesthetic

    designs (e.g. for bridge work).

    Warning and safety information

    Factor of Safety (FoS)

    Factor determined as the ratio between MBL and

    WLL. Also referred to as the Safety Factor (SF),

    Design Factor (DF) or Design Safety Factor (DSF).*

    Design Dynamic Factor (DDF)

    The factor specified by the designer of the lifting

    appliance (e.g. crane). DDF is not the same as DAF,

    which is defined separately and applicable to a

    specific operation. DDF = Design load / SWL.

    Design load

    Load used for the purposes of design, derived

    by combining relevant characteristic load(s)

    (both static and dynamic) with appropriate load

    factor(s). The design load represents all foreseeable

    loads and combinations thereof (including all

    directions) that the lifting appliance will be subject to.

    Design load shall not be confused with SWL.

    Proof Load (PL)

    The predetermined test load, greater than the SWL

    or WLL to which an item of lifting equipment is

    subjected before acceptance for use.

    Design temperature

    Reference temperature, specified by the designer

    of the lifting appliance, used as a criterion for the

    selection of material grades and properties.

    Minimum operating temperature

    Lowest temperature, determined by a competent

    person, the item of Lifting Equipment can be

    operated at without compromising safety.

    Competent person

    A competent person as defined in ISO 9927-1.

    To determine fit-for-use the level Expert

    Engineer** is required. Alternatively, a qualified

    person nominated as such by their employer.

    * Note:

    The Factor of Safety is the actual MBL/WLL ratio the

    item itself has. The Design Factor is the MBL/WLL ratio

    required for the job the item is engineered to do. The FoS

    shall therefore be DF and is in most cases the same.

    ** Note:

    An expert engineer is an engineer with experience in the

    design, construction or maintenance of cranes, sufficient

    knowledge of the relevant regulations and standards

    and the equipment necessary for carrying out the

    inspection. Furthermore, an expert engineer is an

    engineer who is in a position to judge the safe condition

    of the crane and to decide which measures shall be

    taken in order to ensure continued safe operation.

    Particular service conditions are defined in

    combination with the applicable design

    standards or rules.

    With regard to WLL, the client shall act as the

    competent person to establish fit-for-use under the

    given particular service conditions against the

    factor of safety of the item of lifting equipment.

    With regard to MBL, the client shall act as the

    compe tent person to establish the SWL in conjunc-

    tion with the given particular service conditions.

    Warning and safety information

    Warnings and information on useTransport

    The products shall be handled with care.

    Depending on the surface it is placed on,

    the product may tilt and tip over, roll or slide.

    A potential crushing hazard exists. Lashing of

    handling lifting points shall be used for their

    intended purpose only.

    NEVER USE IN OR WITH THE APPLICATION. Use other

    lifting equipment to handle the product if required.

    Installation

    Always verify that the product is in its proper and

    intended condition suitable for your application.

    Make sure all optional features are properly secured.

    If in doubt, contact your sales representative or

    Ropeblock.

    Lifting points (on optional features) are designed for

    ONE unit only. NEVER PICK STACKED UNITS WITH

    ONE LIFTING POINT. Do not add components or

    mass to the product unless it has been designed by

    Ropeblock and intended for this purpose.

    Operation

    Always follow the prescribed inspection protocols

    and ensure that the product condition complies

    with the requirements for the job and the product

    has been properly maintained.

    The Safe Working Load (SWL), Allowable Line Pull

    (ALP) or Working Load Limit (WLL) shall never be

    exceeded.

    To ensure structural integrity of the product, only

    fully closed and properly fitted products may be

    put into operation in your system. All locks, pins

    and retainers shall be properly assembled and/or

    tightened prior to any operation to eliminate

    potential falling objects or loads that may inflict

    injury or death. Always understand the actual

    working load and the SWL or WLL of your system

    and components. The SWL or WLL shall exceed the

    intended working load you plan to lift or tension,

    including its rigging. Ensure you are following the

    applicable local and national regulations.

    Attaching the load

    The lashing or rigging arrangement shall at all times

    be in accordance with acceptable practice and be

    appropriate to the application and intended lift.

    We recommend using hardware that matches the

    shape of the counterpart.

    Tugging

    If there is tugging, this shall be such that the

    rigging, and consequently the Ropeblock product,

    is free from significant forces perpendicular to the

    vertical hoisting forces from the load. Perpendicular

    forces are a side load and create a bending moment.

    Unless specifically indicated, your product is not

    designed for this. Tugging lines are intended only

    to hold the product in position.

    Warning and safety information

    SocketsGeneral

    Safety measures should be taken into account when

    using our sockets. Carefully follow all installation

    instructions. Important information can be found

    below. Ropeblock sockets provide adequate ductility

    and should be considered fit for purpose until

    minimum operating temperatures of -40C in general

    service application. Check your application specific

    criteria with the set design temperature against the

    specifications set forth in de applicable design

    standards or rules. Ropeblock sockets meet or

    exceed 42J/-20C Charpy V impact values.

    Excluding limitations set forth by the wire rope

    and/or resin or spelter material as described in

    the EN and ISO standards (typ. 80C for fibre

    core ropes and 110C for resin), sockets will be

    affected by higher temperatures too, but

    continue to serve with below approximate

    limited work load capacity rating at these

    elevated temperatures.

    110C with 100% capacity rating

    150C with 92% capacity rating

    200C with 83% capacity rating

    250C with 75% capacity rating

    300C with 67% capacity rating

    Your application requires compensation for this.

    For intermittent use at elevated temperatures the

    temperature the socket body will reach should be

    determined. Use above 300C is not recommended,

    contact Ropeblock for further guidance.

    Dimensional tolerances depend on the

    manufacturing techniques applied and are

    different between machined components (pins)

    and cast components (socket bodies and

    wedges). Also surface finish e.g. hot dip

    galvanizing or even paint may add to the overall

    thickness and fork distance. Please contact

    Ropeblock for further guidance and a detailed

    dimensional tolerance sheet.

    All spelter sockets and wedge sockets receive the

    vigorous Ropeblock Non Destructive Testing

    (NDT) regime. This working program is covering

    both surface inspections (MT and visual) as well

    as volumetric inspections (UT). Volumetric RT

    inspections can be done on request. Certificates

    are available when so ordered.

    Socket(pin)s may be used as an orientating

    hinge-point. To prevent excessive wear and

    additional rope bending they should not be used

    as a friction hinge point under load. Further

    design evaluation and creating a proper

    functional hinge point is advised.

    Check for potential pin rolling with axial movement

    that may develop depending operation.

  • 19

    Warning and safety information

    Proof testing individual sockets

    Sockets can be individually proof tested on

    request. The default proof load value is 30% of

    the catalogue MBL of the socket. Testing to 40%

    can be done on request. Higher values will require

    special consideration.

    Proof testing socketed assemblies

    Per EN 13411-4:2011 type testing may be required.

    Please see the standard and annex C and F for

    further guidance. (Alternatively ISO 17558:2006.)

    Depending the application, end-user requirement

    and / or local regulations, socketed assemblies may

    require to be proof tested individually with a proof

    load relative to the Work Load Limit or Safe Working

    Load assigned to the socketed assembly.

    Spelter Sockets

    Proper spelter socket terminations have an

    efficiency equal to the breaking load of the

    wire. This can be limited by the minimum

    breaking load of the socket (MBL), as

    mentioned in the tables.

    For further performance specifications, see

    our type approvals.

    Please read the instructions of the resin

    manufacturer carefully before use. Incorrect

    use of the resin or spelter material can

    result in an unsafe termination. Look for the

    expiration date of the resin. More

    information can also be obtained from your

    wire rope supplier.

    Always remove any dirt and grease from the

    wire rope broom and socket basket.

    Ensure that the broomed wires are evenly

    spaced in the basket and that the wire and

    basket are aligned with each other.

    When using white metal or zinc, the socket

    may be preheated up-to 350C (660F).

    Make sure the base of the socket is properly

    sealed. This to prevent resin leakage, which

    may cause voids.

    It is recommended to pour on one side as this

    will help eliminate air bubbles being formed.

    Check for proper penetration of the resin to

    the bottom. Recommendation to use a 1mm

    probe wire between the strands to validate

    resin penetration if possible.

    Re-grease the wire rope at the neck.

    Never use an assembly before the resin is

    fully hardened.

    Procedures in EN 13411-4 or ISO 17558 or

    equivalent should be followed.

    Socketing should always be executed by

    qualified and competent personnel only.

    Additional for Fast Connector Sockets

    The FCS Spin Resistant connector shall be

    used with non-rotation resistant wire rope and

    may be used with rotation resistant wire rope.

    The FCS standard (rotating) connector shall

    be used with non-rotating or cat 1. rotation

    resistant wire rope only.

    Normal socketing procedures for spelter

    sockets shall be followed.

  • 20

    Warning and safety information

    Remove seizing after and up to the bottom

    of the basket when the seizing is in contact

    with the housing.

    The lugs are not a lifting device; they are

    designed to fit a tool used to pull the

    connector through the reeving system with

    a standard shackle. One may leave the tool

    once assembled if clearance in the application

    allows for it.

    Additional for Super reeve Connector Sockets

    The SCS Spin Resistant connector shall be used

    with non-rotation resistant wire rope and may

    be used with rotation resistant wire rope.

    The SCS standard (rotating) connector shall

    be used with non-rotating or cat 1. rotation

    resistant wire rope only.

    The basket length differs from normal.

    Measure appropriately for required broom

    height. Seizing should match your working

    method.

    Use a cover to protect the thread.

    Resin penetration may be more difficult in the

    tight SCS buttons, esp. with large fill factor

    ropes with a large number of wires (e.g. high

    performance ropes like 35x7). Normal

    socketing procedures for spelter sockets shall

    be followed with the addition of the following

    recommendations for resin:

    - Do NOT use booster packages to speed

    up curing.

    - Reduce mixing time when possible, but keep

    resin mfg instructions.

    - At higher ambient temperatures we

    recommend to refrigerator cool the resin to

    delay curing / increase gel time. And if

    possible to cool the pre-assembly too to the

    same temperature as the resin. Follow resin

    manufacturers limitations.

    - It is recommend to stay out of direct sunlight

    on hotter days.

    - Suggest to use low viscous resin. (typ. found

    in smaller cans.)

    - Suggest wire poking around in the socket

    basket, as you pour, which should release air

    bubbles more easy and promote resin

    penetration to the bottom.

    - To prevent air becoming trapped, consider

    pouring without putty at the bottom and

    placing the putty once the resin comes out at

    the bottom. (Two pair of hands needed.)

    Remove seizing after and up to the bottom of

    the basket when the seizing is in contact with

    the housing.

    The connector cap shall be secured after

    socketing by means of a high strength thread

    locking adhesive. (E.g. Loctite 270, etc.)

    The connector cap is not a lifting device; it is

    used to pull the connector through the reeving

    system with a standard shackle.

    The connector shall always be installed in the

    socket housing and used with the retainer

    properly mounted and secured.

    The SCS connector is not recommended

    for re-use.

    Wedge Sockets

    Always mount the loaded part of the wire in

    the centre line of the pin (see figures below).

    Make sure you are using the correct house,

    rope and wedge size combination.

    Nominal intermediate rope sizes should be

    used with the biggest socket within the range.

    Secure properly the dead end with a wire

    rope clip.

    Do not attach the dead end to the live wire.

    The dead end should have a length of 6 times

    the wire diameter with a minimum of 150 mm.

    Ensure that the wire rope and wedge are fully

    seated after the first load.

    A load may slip if the connection is not

    properly installed.

    Inspect the connection regularly.

    The efficiency of a 6 or 8 strand wire rope and

    most high performance ropes with a Ropeblock

    wedge socket connection is 80% of the MBL of the

    wire rope, but limited to the MBL of the socket.

    Check your wire rope supplier for efficiency

    Warning and safety information

    Swage sockets and sleeves (Flemish eye ferrule)

    Swage Sockets and Sleeves are recommended

    for use on 6 x 19 or 6 x 37 IPS or XIP (EIP), XXIP

    (EEIP), RRL, FC, or IWRC wire ropes. They are

    also approved for use on galvanized bridge

    rope. They are not recommended for use on

    fibre core ropes without further measures.

    Properly applied Swage Sockets may reach an

    efficiency rating of 100% and shall have a

    minimum efficiency of 90% per EN 13411-8.

    This rating is based on the catalogue strength

    of wire rope. This can be limited by the

    minimum breaking load of the socket (MBL)

    Swaged sleeves should generate an efficiency

    of at least 90% per EN 13411-3.

    For further performance specifications, please

    contact Ropeblock.

    Swage sockets and sleeves are forged from

    special steel quality and heat treated for cold

    swaging.

    Proper swaging methods must be followed for

    all Swage Sockets and Sleeves.

    Always use the matching dies to the socket or

    sleeve.

    Ensure the dies are aligned and within the

    limits for admissible wear.

    The position of the rope end should be verified

    prior to swaging and after swaging.

    Multiple progressive pressings are required to

    prevent flash, which could develop into a

    permanent mark or possibly a crack in the

    sleeve. A color change will not indicate proper

    swaging

    A light oil lubricant should be applied to each

    die and wiped clean after swaging

    For swaging practice details contact the die

    manufacturer

    Always verify after swaging dimensional limits.

    Each swaged termination shall be free of any

    flaws and surface defects and shall not exhibit

    any sharp edges or rough surfaces.

    The outline of EN 13411-3 / EN 13411-8 or

    equivalent should be followed

    Caution: Proper swaging practices are the

    responsibility of the sling manufacturer.

    Before using Swage Sockets or Sleeves with

    other type lay, construction or grade of wire

    rope, it is recommended that the termination

    be type tested to prove the adequacy of the

    assembly

    For Flemish eye constructions we recommend

    to follow internationally prescribed

    construction, safety criteria and inspection

    procedures. (e.g. EN 13414, ISO 8792 and

    ASME B30.9)
