A tool for homogeneous compression of metal sleeves having an essentially circular cross-sectional shape about spliced parts of steel wire ropes
Abstract
Abstract A tool designed to compress metal sleeves (2) having an essentially circular cross-sectional shape, about spliced portions ofsteel wire ropes (1) for the purpose of forming a strong and secure bond. The tool comprises two tool sections (4,5). The problem of avoiding deformation damages on the sleeve during the compression operation is solved in accordance with the invention in that the tool sections, (4,5) when moved close together, form a clamping grip (6,7) in the shape of an ellipse the smaller axis of which is positioned in the direction of movement of said tool sections (4,5) whereas the larger ellipse axis is positioned in the plane separating the two tool sections.
