Swage Terminal + Fitting Selection — Quick Reference
Swage terminals + fittings terminate wire rope by permanently deforming a metal sleeve onto the rope end — load-rated termination with clean, low-profile finish. Used in rigging + balustrade + architectural + marine + tensioning applications.
| Swage Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| Swage Eye Terminal | Closed loop on wire rope end — sling + lifting + anchor connection |
| Swage Fork Terminal | Clevis-pin attachment — adjustable tensioning + rigging |
| Swage Threaded Stud | Threaded end for turnbuckle + tensioning + connection |
| Swage Sleeve / Ferrule (Crimped) | Forming eye in wire rope — used with thimble |
| Stainless Steel 316 Swage | Marine + balustrade + outdoor — chloride-resistant |
| Galvanised Carbon Steel Swage | General industrial + structural rigging |
| Architectural Balustrade Swage Fittings | Wire balustrade systems — building + deck wire |
| Aluminium Swage Sleeve | Soft sleeve for soft + small-diameter wire |
Critical: Swaging requires the CORRECT TOOL + DIE for each sleeve + rope diameter combination — hand-crimp tool for small (3mm), hydraulic press for medium-large (6-20mm rope). Inspect every swage for full deformation + correct geometry (no cracks + correct length). Load rating: ALWAYS match swage fitting to wire rope WLL — undersized swage = catastrophic failure under load. Test swaged terminations to 50% WLL before deploying in lifting service. Companion: lifting equipment, rigging + lifting slings, turnbuckles, shackles.
AIMS Industrial supplies swage terminals and swage fittings for wire rope termination and rigging applications. Swaging is the process of permanently deforming a metal sleeve fitting onto the end of a wire rope to create a secure, load-rated termination — delivering a clean, low-profile finish with no knots and no loose thimble hardware.
Swage terminal types available:
- Swage Eye Terminals — A closed loop (eye) end fitting for attaching to shackles, turnbuckles or anchorage points. The most common swage terminal for rigging and tensioning systems.
- Swage Fork (Clevis) Terminals — Open U-shaped fork end for pin connections to brackets, eyebolts or other fittings. Common in architectural, structural and marine tensioning.
- Swage Stud (Threaded) Terminals — A threaded stem end for direct connection to threaded connectors, turnbuckles and tensioners. Allows fine adjustment of wire rope tension.
- Swage Hook Terminals — For quick-release or load-hook connections in rigging and lifting configurations.
Swage terminals are available in 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in marine and outdoor environments, and in galvanised mild steel for general industrial and construction applications. Sizing is matched to wire rope diameter — typically 3mm through to 16mm.
