ABSTRACT:
An end fitting with optimized weight for supporting an end of a device, such as an insulator, placed under tension. The end fitting has a mounting sleeve for coupling the end fitting to a core member, a mounting hole for receiving a cylindrical mounting pin therethrough and a cutout or removed portion positioned between the mounting hole and the mounting sleeve for optimizing the weight of the end fitting. The mounting hole can optionally be provided with a pair of contacting points spaced laterally relative to the vector line of force to redirect the tensile load applied to the end fitting by a mounting pin located in the mounting hole. The end fitting is especially useful in insulators subjected to tensile loads.
