Pear Drop Rope Socket For Wireline Tool String 1.25" - 2.5"

The Rope Socket-Pear Drop With Sleeve is used to attach wireline to the tool string. The pear drop rope socket is the most convenient model, which clamps the wireline by the pear-shaped wedge. The principle of operation is that the wire, wrapped round a groove in the pear drop, is wedged in a taper between the pear drop and the mating sleeve.This wedge action grips the wire and is proportional to the tension applied to the wireline.

The benefits of this type of rope socket are that there are no sharp bends in the wire which reduces its ultimate tensile strength, and is a simple and quick way to make the connection to the wire.
