Our custom straight stainless steel ferrules are adapted to work with wire rope assemblies and minimise electro-chemical corrosion. Pressed with powerful equipment to ensure total strength, these ferrules will keep the termination point of a stainless steel rope under control.
Perks of Straight Stainless Steel Ferrules
Along with the other ferrules you can order from us, these straight stainless steel ferrules provide a firm fit and are a popular option when creating rope assemblies for safe lifting applications. Our made to measure stainless steel ferrules will be best suited to use in combination with rope that is made out of the same material. This ensures longevity and lessens the likelihood of corrosion occurring.
How our Stainless Steel Ferrules are Made
A straight ferrule creates a sturdy
bond with the rope, so long as it has been properly pressed. This is where our compression process comes into
its own, with significant forces exerted upon the stainless steel ferrule to prevent it from loosening or
shearing.
The way we manufacture our stainless steel straight ferrules also helps in this respect, as they are extruded in an unbroken chain and then cut to size. This eliminates flaws and maintains the same high standards found on all products sold here at RSD.
