Abstract
A wire rope assembly unit including a wire rope and a device for assembling the wire rope. The device is fastened at one end of the wire rope and has a connecting element arranged at the front on the end of the wire rope. The assembly unit has a sleeve that engages around an outer surface of an end section of the wire rope. The sleeve is made of a material of lesser rigidity than strands of the wire rope and, optionally, than the connecting element. The sleeve is pressed, hammered and/or rolled onto the wire rope and, optionally, onto the connecting element to produce a form-locked connection. Outer strands of the wire rope are separated from the wire rope in a rope section, in which the wire rope is arranged inside the sleeve, and the sleeve is connected to ends of the outer strands at its one edge.
