<p>A method of securing a termination element to an end portion of a wire rope, the termination element having an elongated, ductile tubular sleeve portion, including the steps of positioning the end portion of a wire rope within the tubular sleeve portion, positioning the sleeve portion between co-acting dies (50,52), the dies having an opening that is non-circular in cross-section, closing the dies (50,52) a first time to deform the sleeve portion about the wire rope and into a non-circular external cross-section shape, opening dies (50,52), rotating the sleeve portion less than 180 DEG , closing the dies (50,52) a second time to form the sleeve portion into a final external non-circular shape and opening the dies (50,52) to remove the termination element. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
