Slip Type Rope Sockets are available in various O.D sizes and consist of a body sub, carriage, slips, a set screw, and features simplicity in construction and assembly.
The slips are designed to cause the line to break under severe loading at a specific percentage of the full line tensile strength. Standard 50% and 80% slips are available, please specify when ordering, If during the operation the running tools become stuck, the operator is assured that the wire will break at the Rope Socket, rather than up-hole, allowing retrieval of the wire.

Clamp Type Rope Socket is used to provide a secure way of attaching a stranded wire to a Wireline Tool String.
The Clamp Type Rope Socket consists of a body section, a threaded bottom sub, and the cable head. The body section has a flat top so that a cutter bar will not peen the wire closed and a fishing neck to allow the Tool String to be retrieved if lost. The wire is threaded through the cable head and clamped securely into recesses using three set screws. When pulled upwards the wedge-shaped cable head clamps the wire in its jaws.
Other sizes are available on request.
