Swage Sleeve Fittings

Wire Rope Sleeves, also known as swage sleeves, cable ferrules, or cable crimps, are wire rope clamp fittings commonly used to form loop ends or wire splices. A wire is passed through one or more sleeves before being looped around a thimble or pulley before passing back through the sleeve, which is then crimped to prevent the wire from loosening. Swage sleeves are generally preferred to U-bolt clips and fist grip clips because they do not require re-tightening and tend not to loosen over time. Crimps and ferrules for smaller wire diameters can be installed with a hand swage tool. Wire rope sleeves are permanently installed, and cannot be reused. Choose from plain finished aluminum or polished stainless steel.
