Tianjin Founder Metal Co.,Ltd supply high quality stainless steel wire rope fittings for various uses including architectural,marine,yacht rigging and structural applications. 


We supply a wide range of wire rope end terminations and fittings to suit regular and bespoke wire rope and rigging requirements. Today we will talk about how to fit swage terminals below:

Our swageless terminal’s center compression cone is also Stainless Steel. There are cheaper alternatives on the market which has been causing problems with rust etc near sea water as the center cone was a cheaper zinc plated steel which has very poor corrosion resistance.

We stock the Swageless Jaw/Fork, Eye and Threaded Stud versions to suit Wire Rope. They are easier to fit and offer full corrosion resistance for outdoor use such as balustrading and yacht rigging projects.

How to fitting the Swageless Compression terminals to the end of you Steel Wire Rope 

1 Open your Swageless terminal

2 Put the Steel Wire Rope Through the bottom part of the terminal

3 Put the center cone over your Steel Wire rope leaving approx 3-4mm sticking out of the tope of the center cone

4 Unravel outer strands 2" to 3" to expose central core

5 Slide wedge component over central core of wire rope

6 Reposition outer strands

7 Final Assembly-Simply screw your Terminal together with the certer cone directly under the top part of the terminal
