The Rope Fastener (also known as wedge socket or wire rope socket) is one of the most critical safety accessories in the elevator suspension system. Its primary function is to securely lock and connect the end of the suspension wire rope to the elevator cabin or counterweight. Rope fasteners provided by Mekamic are CNC machined with high precision, ensuring absolute rope grip, superior load-bearing capacity, and keeping the elevator system operating smoothly, safely, and durably over time.
Material: Cast steel or high-quality galvanized alloy steel for excellent rust resistance and load-bearing capacity.
Compatible Rope Size: Designed for suspension wire ropes with diameters of 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, etc. (depending on the specific rope model).
Components: Includes the socket body, wedge, buffer spring, lock nuts, washers, and safety cotter pin.
Surface Finish: Precision threading, electro-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized to prevent corrosion in the harsh elevator shaft environment.
Load Capacity: Strictly complies with safety standards for the breaking load strength of both passenger and freight elevators.
Application: Connecting the suspension rope ends, distributing traction force evenly, and preventing rope twist or slippage.
