Swage Sockets
Swage sockets incorporate a reduced machined area of the shank which is the equivalent to the proper
after swage dimension. Before swaging, this provides for an obvious visual difference in the shank diameter.
After swaging, a uniform shank diameter is created allowing for a QUIC CHECKTM permanent visual
inspection opportunity.
Designed to quickly determine whether the socket has been through the swaging operation and assist in field inspections, it does not eliminate the need to perform standard production inspections which include gauging for the proper after swage dimensions or proof loading.
- Forged from special bar quality carbon steel, suitable for cold forming.
- Hardness controlled by spheroidize annealing.
- Swage socket terminations have an efficiency rating of 100% based on the catalogue strength of wire rope.
- Stamp for identification after swaging without concern for fractures
(as per directions in National Swaging Brochure).
In accordance with ANSI B30.9, all slings terminated with swage sockets shall be proof loaded.
