G417 Closed Spelter Socket for Wire Rope Sling
Gostern G417 Closed Spelter Socket for Wire Rope Sling is a high-strength termination fitting designed for permanent attachment to wire rope slings and cable assemblies. The socket features a closed (blind) hole design – the wire rope is inserted into the socket and secured using the spelter (poured metal/zinc) process , creating a strong, reliable, and tamper-proof end fitting with efficiency up to 100% of the wire rope's breaking strength . Manufactured in compliance with G417 (Federal Specification) and ASME B30.26 standards , this socket is the preferred termination for overhead lifting, crane hoist lines, and heavy-duty rigging applications where maximum strength and safety are required .
This Wire Rope Spelter Socket is forged from high quality carbon steel with excellent tensile strength, impact resistance, and durability. The closed socket design features a smooth, radiused interior that distributes load evenly across the wire rope, preventing stress concentration and extending service life . The socket is available with a hot dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in outdoor and marine applications, or plain finish for indoor use . Each socket is clearly marked with its wire rope diameter range and rated capacity for easy identification . It is widely used as G417 Cable Sling Socket for overhead crane hoist lines, as Swaged Socket for Wire Rope for heavy equipment rigging, as Wire Rope End Fitting for mining and construction applications, and as Heavy Duty Lifting Socket for marine and offshore operations . Available for wire rope diameters from 6mm to 32mm (1/4" to 1-1/4") , with working load limits (WLL) matched to the wire rope rating (typically 5:1 safety factor) .
The closed spelter socket wire rope sling is used for suspension bridge, roof, and oil rig construction scenarios

Sockets attached to steel wire rope, used for lifting, anchoring system, anchor cables of oil platforms, towing cables or for fastening cables in construction purposes such as bridges, roof construction etc.
Sockets are the strongest steel wire rope end fitting available, and if they are assembled in the proper way they can meet at least the breaking strength of the steel wire rope.
