Abstract: A cable termination system and method of assembly is provided that clamps strength members of the cable after they have been wrapped around a winding member. The clamping force required is therefore reduced by the capstan effect of the winding member. The winding member is preferably a torus that encircles the cable, and the system may comprise a number of progressively larger tori arranged in sequence along the cable to provide sufficient room for wrapping all of the strength members around them.

Abstract: An armoured cable termination system and method of assembly is provided that clamps the armour wires of the cable over and around the back of a conical inner armour clamp member. The wires are also retained between the inner clamp member and an outer body and a securing end plate. The armour wires are splayed by the inner clamp member, which is forced onto the cable to displace the armour wires. The forcing mechanism is used to support an armour wire former that bends the armour wires around the back of the inner clamp member. The top clamp is then forced onto the termination assembly, such that the armour wires adopt a smooth curve around the back of the inner clamp and are securely clamped along their length. The assembly may then be mounted to a flexible pulling head for pulling it into contact with a structure.
