Wire Rope Ends,
Wire Rope Ends,
(OP)
I have an application that will use dia 10mm (or 3/8) wire rope.
My question is, I am looking at swaged sockets, in particular the screw terminal. Is the intended use of a screw terminal to adjust rope length?
Also is there any issue with the nuts on the thread unscrewing due rope tension and wire ropes inherent want to untwist?

RE: Wire Rope Ends,
What is your application? Is this a hoisting application or what?
RE: Wire Rope Ends,
Have been on holiday, back at desk now.
Anyways, yes it is a sort of hoist, using 10mm dia rope (total length ~5m). So a dynamic situation.

RE: Wire Rope Ends,
Is the tolerance on the length of the cable the problem?
Prestressed cable are available so that tensile strain is the only variable for the length of the cable.
