Bolts, nuts, and cotter pins are also available with open wedge sockets. These factors are propelling the open wedges market growth.

"High Efficiency of Open Sockets to Propel Market Growth "

These sockets are considered to be highly efficient because they not only assemble the jaws quickly but they also provide maximum support to the rope. Pressure exerted by these wedges is equal. It is possible to exert equal pressure by open wedge sockets as they have an increased body length and are large in size.

While removing these wedges damages can be inflicted. In order to prevent this damage square notch is attached to the lower part of the sockets. Another advantage of using these sockets is that they are very quick with installing and detaching the rope tail of the wire. As open wedge sockets are symmetrical there can be no chances of wrong or faulty installations. These factors are prone to fuel the market growth and development.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"Difficulty in Installing these Sockets to Bring Down Market Growth"

One of the main disadvantages of using open wedge sockets is that these devices are difficult to install. Many precautions will have to be taken before installing these sockets. Before installing wedge sockets the pin, wedge, and sockets must be carefully be inspected.

Rope sizes have to be adjusted according to the need. Once the size of the rope is determined, the next step is to properly align the center line of the pin along with the live end of the rope.
