Rope Services Direct supply swaged terminals which act as terminations in wire rope fittings. This is to be used in conjunction with our popular wire rope, which we can supply in a huge range of lengths and diameters. While you can purchase the rope as standalone equipment, it is rare that you should have need for this alone.
These fittings provide a secure end termination for wire ropes. We have a wide variety to choose from. To make it suitable for a number of applications. Our swaged terminals are one such type of end termination. You can find all product information and contact details for ordering below.
The main purpose of a swaged fitting is to provide an anchoring point at the very end of the rope.
The fitting has a hole at its centre in which the wire rope is positioned. An industrial press machine will apply tonnes of force to create a permanent connection between the rope and terminal.
Wire ropes need permanently connected fittings for certain operations. With just the rope alone, it doesn’t serve as many wide ranging and beneficial purposes.
Rope Services Direct can professionally fit your swaged terminal. We use industrial presses to apply the many forces required for a secure end fitting. If you do it yourself or by others who don’t know what they’re doing, you can’t guarantee a permanent or safe fitting.
Swaged fittings can maintain a high percentage of the breaking load of the wire rope. This figure can be as high as around 90%.
This equipment is used in a variety of industries including architectural, marine & oil and gas as just a few examples. There is an excellent range of terminals which we can swage onto wire rope. so please ask if you require anything specific.
The reason it enjoys such widespread usage across such a range of industries is thanks to the many benefits that we have examined above.
We have a wide ranging number of wire rope fittings available if a swaged terminal isn’t right for you. You can see our available stock here. Terminals that have been swaged are often used with other equipment. Such as turn buckles or rigging screws.

We also provide swageless terminals, which achieve the same aim, except they are manually hand-fitted rather than being machine driven liked swaged terminals. However a swageless terminal may not be as strong. Although they do allow fitting whilst on site.
