Aluminum Ferrules For Steel Wire Rope Slings

Description

Create strong, dependable, and durable eye terminations on your steel wire rope slings with Marvisons' high-quality Aluminum Ferrules. These essential components are specifically designed for the secure swaging (crimping) of steel wire ropes, forming permanent loops or eyes that are crucial for attaching hooks, shackles, or other rigging hardware. They are a vital part of fabricating custom wire rope slings for various general-purpose lifting, suspension, and tie-down applications.

Our Aluminum Ferrules are typically manufactured from seamless, high-grade aluminum, ensuring consistent quality and optimal malleability for proper crimping. When correctly swaged with the appropriate hydraulic press and dies, these ferrules form a solid, permanent bond with the wire rope, creating a termination that can achieve a significant portion of the wire rope's breaking strength. They offer excellent corrosion resistance inherently due to their aluminum composition. Designed to be compatible with various constructions of steel wire rope (e.g., 6x19, 6x37 independent wire rope core or fiber core), Marvisons' aluminum ferrules are manufactured to meet industry standards, such as EN 13411-3 (formerly DIN 3093), when properly applied. They provide a cost-effective and efficient solution for reliable wire rope sling fabrication.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Secure Eye Terminations: Creates strong, permanent loops or eyes on steel wire rope slings through swaging.
• High-Grade Aluminum: Manufactured from seamless aluminum for optimal crimping performance and inherent corrosion resistance.
• Reliable Performance: When properly swaged, forms a strong bond, contributing to the overall strength of the wire rope assembly.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Provides an economical and efficient method for wire rope termination.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for various steel wire rope constructions used in general lifting, rigging, and securing.
• Standards Compliant: Designed to meet relevant industry standards like EN 13411-3 when correctly applied.

Important Note: Proper swaging requires specific tools (hydraulic press) and adherence to manufacturer's instructions and relevant standards (e.g., EN 13411-3, ASME B30.9). Always ensure the ferrule size matches the wire rope diameter and construction. Aluminum ferrules are generally not recommended for stainless steel wire rope or highly critical, dynamic lifting applications where steel or copper ferrules might be required.

Ideal for:

• Fabricating Steel Wire Rope Slings (single-leg, multi-leg)
• Creating Permanent Eye Splices on Wire Ropes
• General Lifting and Rigging Applications (within safe working loads)
• Guy Wires and Tensioning Systems
• Fencing and Railing Applications
• Suspension Systems
• Industrial Material Handling
• Any application requiring a secure, swaged termination on steel wire rope.

Choose Marvisons' Aluminum Ferrules for Steel Wire Rope Slings for a reliable, strong, and compliant solution that ensures the integrity and safety of your wire rope assemblies.
