Spelter Sockets
Open & Closed Rope Spelter Sockets
Muncy Machine has manufactured spelter sockets for decades. Originally furnishing sockets designed for strand, Muncy added its R-Series line for the more industry-standard sockets dimensionally compliant with the RR-S-550 federal specifications.
Spelter Sockets for Mast Raising Lines in the Oilfield
Muncy Spelter sockets are often used for Mast Raising Lines, also called bull lines or bridle lines in the land drilling markets. This application often pairs three (3) open spelter sockets with one (1) closed socket per the two lines. The sockets become part of the system for raising and lowering the mast/derrick.
Spelter Socket Pins
Our spelter socket pins are manufactured from select steel with proper chemical and physical properties. We machine our cotter pin holes to position the pin through the socket ears with a tight, yet practical fit. Muncy also offer galvanized socket pins with a threaded end for nuts and/or a cotter, also called a safety bolt, nut and cotter pin.
