The deformation creates a load-rated, low-profile termination — far cleaner than a U-bolt clamp. AIMS Industrial stocks swage eye, fork, threaded stud, hook and sleeve fittings in 316 stainless steel and galvanised mild steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the main swage terminal types?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA swage eye terminal forms a closed loop for attachment to a shackle, turnbuckle or anchor point. A swage fork terminal has an open U-shape with a clevis pin for tensioned connections. A swage stud terminal has a threaded stem that screws into a turnbuckle or fitting. Swage sleeves (ferrules) are crimped onto a rope folded back through itself to form a thimble-protected eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is swaging used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwaging is used for wire rope rigging in lifting and architectural applications — slings, lifting assemblies, balustrade wire, structural cable, marine rigging, fall-protection systems. Each swage size matches a specific wire rope diameter; using an undersize sleeve or wrong die produces an under-strength termination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSwage Terminal + Fitting Selection — Quick Reference\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwage terminals + fittings terminate wire rope by permanently deforming a metal sleeve onto the rope end — load-rated termination with clean, low-profile finish.
