What Are Wire Rope Fittings?

Wire rope fittings are components used to secure the ends of wire rope so they can attach to another object. There are several types of fittings that come in a variety of finishes and sizes. Some of the most common types include swaged terminations, wire rope clips, poured sockets and obviously, Electroline swageless fittings. In addition to securing the ends of wire rope, these fittings serve numerous additional purposes. For example, wire rope fittings are used with electric and manual winches to securely rig heavy equipment and loads. In these applications, a wire rope clip consisting of a U-shaped bolt that features a grooved base and nuts will tightly hold the wire rope. A wire sleeve is used with the rope clip to prevent wear and damage to the cable. Assembling wire rope ends with the proper fitting is necessary for machinery operations in diverse environments.

Applications of Wire Rope Fittings

Wire rope fittings are used throughout many industries in both commercial and industrial applications. Any time a wire rope is used, a fitting is required to secure its ends and connect it to other equipment or components. Some industries that rely on wire rope fittings most frequently include:

Architecture and Engineering
Automotive
Construction
Energy and Power
Military
Transportation

Wire rope fittings are used for many heavy-duty applications that involve lifting, hoisting, supporting, or securing machinery and other components. They are also used in many non-industrial settings, such as sailboat rigging, railings for walkways, bridges, ships and with certain types of athletic equipment.
