Rope Services Direct supply swaged terminals which act as terminations in wire rope fittings. This is to be used in conjunction with our popular wire rope, which we can supply in a huge range of lengths and diameters. While you can purchase the rope as standalone equipment, it is rare that you should have need for this alone.

These fittings  provide a secure end termination for wire ropes. We have a wide variety to choose from. To make it suitable for a number of applications. Our swaged terminals are one such type of end termination. You can find all product information and contact details for ordering below.

What does swaged mean?

The main purpose of a swaged fitting is to provide an anchoring point at the very end of the rope.

The fitting has a hole at its centre in which the wire rope is positioned.  An industrial press machine will apply tonnes of force to create a permanent connection between the rope and terminal.

Wire ropes need permanently connected fittings for certain operations. With just the rope alone, it doesn’t serve as many wide ranging and beneficial purposes.

Rope Services Direct can professionally fit your swaged terminal. We use industrial presses to apply the many forces required for a secure end fitting.  If you do it yourself or by others who don’t know what they’re doing, you can’t guarantee a permanent or safe fitting.

Swaged fittings can maintain a high percentage of the breaking load of the wire rope. This figure can be as high as around 90%.

Swaged Terminals

Terminals are types of wire rope fittings which must be fitted to a wire-rope by a professional as specialist machinery is required. A terminal is machine pressed onto the very end of a wire-rope using many tonnes of pressure to ensure a professional and secure connection. Terminals are used for the connection of wire rope to a fixing point for securing, and are commonly utilised together with turn-buckles and rigging screws.
Available from 3mm to 10mm in stainless or 3mm to 20mm in machined mild steel all of which can be pressed by our skilled team on our own presses.
