Abstract
A termination device for a suspension member of an elevator system includes a housing including a socket defined by two face plates and two side plates. At least one of the face plates and at least one of the side plates are integrally formed. A wedge is receivable within the socket with the suspension member. The wedge is configured to cooperate with the housing to apply a clamping force to the suspension member in response to an axial load acting on the suspension member.
