Swage Terminal
A swage terminal is a product used to terminate wire. A swaging machine is used to terminate the wire. The wire is passed into a deep hole in the swage terminal which is then pressed onto the terminal by applying force. This type of product is used in the architectural and marine industries. There are many companies globally who manufacture swage terminals, including Sta-Lok. See also *Swage *Swageless terminal In 1973 Sta-Lok launched the swageless terminal system for wire rope at the London Boat Show. The swageless terminal can be fitted by using hand tools, unlike a swage terminal which requires a special press, roller die or rotary hammer machine ... {{DEFAULTSORT:Swage Terminal Structural connectors ...

Swaging
Swaging () is a forging process in which the dimensions of an item are altered using dies into which the item is forced. Swaging is usually a cold working process, but also may be hot worked. The term swage may apply to the process (verb) or to a die or tool (noun) used in that process. Origin The term "swage" comes from the Old French term ''souage'', meaning "decorative groove" or "ornamental moulding". Swages were originally tools used by blacksmiths to form metal into various shapes too intricate to make with a hammer alone. These have handles for holding or pegs for attaching to an anvil, and often a flat head for striking with a hammer. Swage blocks are anvil-like dies with various shapes forged into them, which are also used for forming metal. Swages called " fullers" are specific to making grooves in swords and knives. ''Swage'' is most often pronounced ( AHD format: swāj). Another (less common) pronunciation sometimes heard in the metalworking industries is ( ...

Swageless Terminal
In 1973 Sta-Lok launched the swageless terminal system for wire rope at the London Boat Show. The swageless terminal can be fitted by using hand tools, unlike a swage terminal which requires a special press, roller die or rotary hammer machine to crimp it onto a wire. This makes them very useful if the wire assembly must be made-up on site. A swageless terminal will work under constant loading and variable shock loading, making it stronger than the wire rope. Regardless of manufacturer the basic principle of operation is the same. The cable has its outer layers wrapped around a metal cone, with the rope's core running through a hole in the middle of the cone. The assembly sits inside a conical outer body. When the cable is in tension, the action is such that the cone and wire are drawn further into the conical bore of the outer body resulting in a large reaction load. This load grips the wire and prevents further movement. As with swage terminals, swageless terminals are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
