Hourglass Nickel Coated Copper Swage Sleeves ALL SIZES

Swages Nickel Coated Copper Hourglass (Ferrules) are ‘hand swages’ – also known as crimps or ferrules. They are made from nickel coated copper and they are designed to work with High and Medium Flexibility Stainless Steel Wire Rope. Each size of Swage is designed to work with a specific size of wire. Swages used to link two strands of wire together are known as “Duplex”. We have two styles available – Hourglass and Oval. Oval are generally viewed as ‘machine’ swages and normally require a hydraulic press. Hourglass Swages are viewed as ‘hand’ swages and normally require only a mechanical tool. Hourglass swages may not act as intended if they are hydraulically pressed.

Usage: The end of a length of wire is threaded through one side of a swage, the wire is then looped around a thimble and the end of the wire is threaded back through the swage.Swages Nickel Coated Copper Hourglass are normally used in concert with Thimbles (the tear drop shaped thin strips of metal that go inside of the Terminating Loop) so that when it is secured, the force of the bearing point is evenly distributed along the length of the thimble and minimizes wear and stretch on the wire cable. The swage and thimble are then secured using a manual crimping tool. The thimble forms the ‘loop’ that is normally fastened to the saddle, eye screw/bolt or a shackle already secured to the posts or uprights that form the frame or area that will contain the wire.

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
