Recommended Fastener Torque; Wire And Braided Rope Installation - BRADEN PD12C Series Installation Maintenance And Service Manual

RECOMMENDED FASTENER TORQUE

Higher or lower torques for special applications will be specifi ed such as the use of spanner nuts, nuts on shaft
ends, jam nuts and where distortion of parts or gaskets is critical.
Lubricated torque values based on use of SAE 30wt engine oil applied to threads and face of bolt or nut.
Avoid using thread lubricants (such as anti-seize compound) as the applied torque may vary by 10 - 40%, de-
pending upon the product used.

WIRE AND BRAIDED ROPE INSTALLATION

ANCHORING WIRE ROPE
Early Style
Wire Rope
Anchor
Take the free end of the wire rope and insert it through
the small opening of the anchor pocket. Loop the wire
rope and push the free end about half of the way back
through the pocket. Install the wedge, then pull the slack
out of the wire rope. The wedge will slip into the pocket
and secure the wire rope into the drum. The early style
anchor wedge is designed to accommodate several dif-
ferent sizes of wire rope. You may anchor 7/16 and 1/2
in. (11 & 13 mm) wire rope by inserting the wedge, large
end fi rst. Anchor 9/16 and 5/8 in. (14 & 16 mm) wire
rope by inserting the wedge, small end fi rst.
