Abstract
A termination device for an aramid-based elevator rope comprises a socket having a tapered internal passageway adapted to receive a wedge and a rope. The passageway has first and second semi-cylindrical rope engaging surfaces. The wedge has a peripheral groove having a variable radius of curvature. The device clamps the length of rope between linear portions of the wedge and the rope engaging surfaces of the socket with a substantially uniform application of force on the cross-section of the rope.
