The ball terminals are spherical and swaged.
Ball sizes and materials are available in a wide range of variation.
Terminal processing
By attaching our original or commercially available metal terminals or parts to our wire ropes, the characteristics and functions unique to our wire ropes can be enhanced.
In addition to the selection of various wire ropes, we can process our wire ropes to your specifications by combining suitable materials and parts selected from among those conformable to various shapes and the management of materials and environmental chemicals.
Here, this section shows some of these terminal processing variations.
For more details, contact us by telephone or through inquiry form.
Ball terminals
| Material | Brass, stainless steel, soft iron |
|---|---|
| Ball diameter | Ø2 - 5 |
| Swaging strength |
Approx. 60% of the fracture strength of wire rope |
Stop terminals
The stop terminals are cylindrical and swaged.
Shapes, sizes and materials are available in a wide range of variation.
| Material | Brass, stainless steel, soft iron |
|---|---|
| Swaging strength |
Approx. 60% of the fracture strength of wire rope |
Die-cast terminals
The die-cast terminals have high strength because a wire rope is cast direct into a metallic mold.
We start processing from designing and manufacturing a special-purpose mold according to your needs.
Also, we prepare a provisional or trial mold according to your budget.
Clamp tubes
The clamp tubes are special-purpose parts for giving a loop to wire ropes.
You can select the parts according to the wire rope to be used.
Thimbles
The thimbles prevent wire ropes from being deformed for protection in an optimal way.
We undertake consistent processing of thimbles from design to assembly.
Ring terminals
The ring terminals are used for measuring equipment and others which need precise and rotatable support about axes.
Thread terminals
The thread terminals are recommendable when you need the fine adjustment of tension.
Adjust bolts
The adjust bolts are recommendable when the fine adjustment of outer tube length is required.
A terminals
The A terminals are used mainly for attaching pins and machine screws.
| [Reference] | Outer diameter after swaging |
|---|---|
| Flat swage | t1.7 - 2.7 |
| Round swage | Ø3.0 - 4.4 |
| Square swage | 3.2 - 4.0 |
OA terminals
The OA terminals are used mostly for sizes of around Ø1.0mm.
Even if the wire rope is coated, the OA terminals can be swaged without removing the coating film in most cases.
