SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the design of an escape system utilizing a metal rope, specifically focusing on the need for a stopper to prevent excessive cable pull. The term "stop sleeve" is identified as the correct jargon for this component, as referenced from McMaster Carr's catalog. This compression sleeve is essential for ensuring the integrity and safety of the escape system by limiting the movement of the cable.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of metal rope applications
  • Familiarity with compression sleeves
  • Knowledge of safety systems in design
  • Basic terminology related to rigging and cable systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "stop sleeves" on McMaster Carr for specifications
  • Explore materials used in metal rope applications
  • Learn about load ratings and strength requirements for safety systems
  • Investigate installation techniques for compression sleeves
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, safety system designers, and anyone involved in the design and implementation of rigging and escape systems will benefit from this discussion.

I'm in the process of designing an escape system that uses a metal rope. I'm hoping to use a stopper so that the cable is not pulled too far and came across the attached. Unfortunately i do not know the jargon to be able to research it (Possible Materials, strength, sizes, etc) and was hoping someone here could let me know what it is called.

Thank you.
