Description

Safety Wire PEPE-5.0 1.5mm 500mm 7X7 G316 Stainless Steel

Materials per wire:

1. 2 x 5.0mm G304 Pressed Eyes
2. Blank of 1.5mm 7×7 G316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope

Construction:

1. Cut Wire Blanks of 1.5mm 7×7 G316 where CoE to CoE Target length is 500mm
2. Each Pressed Eye extends the length of wire by 7.0mm to CofE when held as close as possible in the small vise grips
3. Cut blanks to 486mm = 500 – (2*7.0mm)
4. Select a Pressed Eye and using the smallest vise grips hold the pressed eye as close to the ‘tube’ as possible, then “round” the crimping tube with cold forging using
   • the bench swager and the 1.5mm aperture, or
   • “round” hand crimper
5. Using the C-Head and the Yellow Press with YCP-70C Dies (round 1.0mm and round 2.0mm)
   • Hold the rounded pressed eye as close to the ‘tube’ as possible
   • Place the open side of the round in the half tube side of the die set – holding the eye up tight from the side and into the dies.
   • Insert the blank all the way and place the formed pressed eye into the dies and exert compression force
     • until the pressure relief valve is triggered on the YCP-70C, or
     • until 1500 PSI on the Bench Press
6. Repeat for the other side
7. Align the faces of the pressed eyes.
