Oval Copper Swage Sleeves ALL SIZES

Oval Copper Swage Sleeves connect to Stainless Steel Wire Rope. An Oval Copper Swage Sleeve may be called a crimp, clamp, ferrule, or tube. These Swage Sleeves are oval in shape and conform to internationally accepted standards (EN 13411-3 and DIN 3093 are the standards to which these items are produced). Hourglass Swages are “manual swages”. We recommend swaging/crimping these Sleeves with a Hydraulic Press to retain a predictable finish and reliable MBS. Sleeves below 3mm may be crimped manually, but larger OVAL sleeves MUST be crimped hydraulically. Oval Sleeves require thimbles for their use.

Usage: The Swage Sleeves anchor together 2 strands of wire. Copper and Stainless ferrules are compatible with Stainless Steel Wire Rope. Stainless Swage Sleeves suit aggressive environments. The increased malleability of copper allows for easy swaging. To clarify, swaging is the process of uniformly crushing a fitting from a starting diameter to a finished diameter. Therefore, the chosen swaging tool must achieve a cold pressure weld. Logically, the requisite pressure and tool size varies with the size of the wire and the fitting. Proper sizing and swaging technique using Swage Sleeve splicing confers 90% of the wire rope breaking strength given the resultant splice conforms with published and tested tables.

How to plan regular cleaning & Maintenance for increased product durability... Read More To ensure the longevity of your product, a planned regular cleaning and maintenance approach is highly recommended. Whether the product is wire, fittings, or even tools -the frequency of cleaning, maintenance and inspection will vary depending on many factors such as environment, usage levels, required performance, and any inherent risk or safety factors. All of these things are worthy of consideration when planning predictive and/or preventative maintenance...

Given the vast proportion of Australia's population resides near a shoreline - the effect of a marine environment is often the most significant factor in product longevity

The table below proposes a cleaning schedule based only on "environment". It is intended as a guide and should be varied as required. We recommend using non-aggressive cleaning agents and fresh water for routine maintenance.

Environment Agression Level Distance from Coast Cleaning Schedule
Indoors environment Very Low N/A Every 18 - 48 Months
Clean inland environment Low 20km + Every 10 - 12 Months
Moderate urban or coastal environment Medium 1-5km Every 4 - 6 Months
Harsh urban or coastal environment High < 500m Every 2 - 3 Months
Severe coastal/ marine environment Extreme < 500m Every 1 - 2 Weeks
