This International Standard identifies the different types of pulling eyes prepared at, or attached to, a steel wire rope end for connection to another rope when installing a new rope or re-reeving an existing rope on a machine.
This International Standard also specifies the minimum requirements for pulling eyes, including their geometry, strength, maximum line pull to which the pulling eye is intended to be subjected and information for use to be provided by the manufacturer.
The pulling eyes covered by this International Standard are not intended to be subjected to a load when the machine performs a service operation.
This International Standard applies to those pulling eyes prepared at, or attached to, ends of steel wire ropes conforming to ISO2408 and ISO10425.
This International Standard does not apply to steel wire ropes with fibre cores.
This International Standard does not cover those separate end connection accessories, which slide over the end of a rope and comprise an eye- and tubular-type braided rope, often referred to as a \'wire rope stocking\' or \'cable sock\'.
