ABSTRACT:
A device for supporting a long cable to permit the ends of the cable, such as swaged end fittings, to be tested by a conventional tension/compression tester. The device includes a drum upon which the cable is wound. The drum is supported by a pair of vertical flanges which in turn are connected to a movable platform of the tension/compression tester. One end of the cable is connected to a fixed base of the tester. A small section of the remaining portion of the cable that is not wound around the drum is engaged by a movable clamp which is fastened to one of the vertical flanges. The cable is tested by movement of the platform away from the base until a predetermined load is reached. A majority of the applied force is absorbed by the portion of the cable that is wound on the drum. The remainder of the applied force is absorbed by the adjustable clamp. Consequently, during the test there is limited slippage of the cable on the drum.
