Round Aluminium Alloy Wire Rope End Stop 3.1 T / TKH Ferrules

MATCHING WIRE ROPE TO FERRULE
Selection of the correct ferrule is to take account of:
-The measured rope diameter
-The rope type (and core)
-The nominal fill factor, f (or metallic cross-sectional area factor, C) of the rope. Very important for fibre core ropes!
 

Case 1
For single layer round strand ropes with fibre core and cable-laid ropes having a fill factor of at least 0,36 (C≥0,283) and max 0,45 (C≤0,353), a ferrule having a size / Code number equivalent to the measured rope diameter is to be selected from the table on next page.
 

Case 2
For single layer round strand ropes with fibre core and cable laid ropes having a filling factor greater than 0,45 (C>0,353) and for single layer round strand ropes with metallic core and for rotation-resistant round strand ropes having a fill factor up to 0,62 (C≤0,487), a fer- rule having the next larger size / Code number than the measured rope diameter is to be selected from table on next page.
 

Case 3
For single layer round strand ropes with metallic core and for rotation-resistant round strand ropes and parallel-closed round strand ropes having a fill factor greater than 0,62 and up to 0,78 (0,487<C≤0,613) the ferrule is to be selected from table on next page.
 

Case 4
For spiral strand rope having a fill factor not greater than 0,78 (C≤0,613), ferrules are to be selected having two size / Code numbers larger than the actual rope diameter from table on next page. Two ferrules spaced two rope diameters apart are to be used per termination. After pressing a space is to be maintained between the ferrules.
