Forged Open Swage Sockets

– Manufacturers forge swage sockets from high-quality carbon steel bars and control hardness through spheroidized annealing.
– These sockets have a 100% efficiency rating based on the catalog strength of the wire rope when properly applied.
– Use swage sockets with 6×19, 6×37, IPS or EIP, EEIP, RRL, or IWRC wire ropes.
– Conduct destructive or proof load testing of the terminations before using swage sockets with any other type of wire rope lay, construction, or grade. Document all tests to ensure the assembly meets the ASME (ANSI) B30.9 standard.

Forged Open Swage Sockets are robust components used to terminate wire ropes and cables. Made through a forging process, they offer enhanced strength and durability by aligning the metal’s internal grain structure. The open design allows easy inspection and ensures a secure connection. These sockets are ideal for high-strength applications such as lifting, rigging, and structural support.

Key Features

  1. High Strength and Durability: Forged from high-quality steel to ensure maximum strength and longevity.
  2. Open Design: Allows for easy visual inspection and access during installation and maintenance.
  3. Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for use with various types of wire ropes and cables.
  4. Corrosion Resistant: Often treated or coated to resist corrosion, making them suitable for use in harsh environments.
  5. Secure Connection: Designed to provide a secure and stable connection, minimizing the risk of disconnection under load.
  6. Compliance with Standards: Manufactured to meet or exceed industry standards for safety and performance.

Applications

  1. Lifting and Rigging: Used in cranes, hoists, and other lifting equipment to secure wire ropes.
  2. Construction: Applied in building structures and temporary supports where secure cable terminations are necessary.
  3. Marine and Offshore: Ideal for use in marine environments for mooring and towing applications.
  4. Transportation: Used in securing loads and for various tie-down applications.
  5. Utility and Telecommunication: Utilized in the installation and maintenance of utility poles and communication towers.

How to Use Forged Open Swage Sockets

  1. Select the Correct Size: Ensure that the swage socket size matches the diameter of the wire rope or cable.
  2. Prepare the Wire Rope: Cut the wire rope to the required length and ensure the ends are clean and free from fraying.
  3. Insert the Wire Rope: Feed the wire rope through the open swage socket. Make sure it is positioned correctly.
  4. Swaging Process: Use a swaging machine or press to compress the swage socket onto the wire rope. This process deforms the socket around the wire, creating a strong, permanent connection.
  5. Inspection: After swaging, inspect the connection to ensure it is secure and there are no visible defects.
  6. Testing: Perform load testing if required to ensure the integrity of the swage connection.
  7. Regular Maintenance: Periodically inspect the swage socket and wire rope connection for wear, corrosion, and other potential issues.
