Ropeblock, your partner for standard and custom designed sockets Ropeblock s product portfolio of lifting products is well established.

Through our knowledge and experience as a crane block and swivel manufacturer, our sockets have been designed to meet the latest lifting standards.

The socket product line consists of sockets to be used with both general purpose as well as high performance ropes.

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

4 Ropeblock, your partner for standard and custom designed sockets Ropeblock s product portfolio of lifting products is well established. After the initial introduction, two decades ago, Ropeblock s socket line has become the industry standard for many end-users and lifting system designers. Wire rope manufacturer s worldwide consider Ropeblock to be the brand of choice for their rope. Our time proven design has been awarded with both DNV and Lloyd s 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 Ropeblock s 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. Distribution Ropeblock has a strong and global network of stocking distributors. This ensures end-users and OEM s immediate availability to Ropeblock sockets. 4

5 Research and design Ropeblock s 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 Material Our standard socket range is available in quenched and tempered cast steel with mechanical properties meeting today s 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 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 / -20 C Charpy-V.

All parts are fully traceable to their certificate by batch or serial number marked on each component.

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.

6 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 / -20 C Charpy-V. All casting tolerances are in accordance with DIN 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. Testing Ropeblock 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). Finish All 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 requirements Our 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).
