Fehr Aluminum Swage Stops for 1/16″ Wire Rope Cable, Pack of 100 pcs

Description

Product Overview

Fehr Aluminum Swage Stops are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern material handling and rigging operations. Constructed from high‑grade aluminum alloy, each stop offers a balance of strength and lightweight performance that reduces overall load while maintaining structural integrity. The swage design creates a permanent, tamper‑proof connection by compressing the wire rope within a precisely machined cavity, eliminating the need for additional hardware such as bolts or pins. This results in a clean, low‑profile finish that minimizes snagging hazards and streamlines the installation process. The stops are sized specifically for 1/16 inch (approximately 1.6 mm) wire rope, a common gauge used in a variety of lifting, pulling, and securing applications across manufacturing, construction, and maritime environments. With a pack of 100 units, users have ample inventory to support large‑scale projects, routine maintenance, and emergency repairs without the need for frequent re‑ordering.

Usage

These swage stops excel in scenarios where a permanent, high‑strength termination is required. Typical use cases include securing cable assemblies on hoists, anchoring wire rope to structural members, and creating custom rigging loops for load‑bearing applications. Because the aluminum material is naturally resistant to corrosion, the stops perform reliably in outdoor settings, marine environments, and areas exposed to chemicals or moisture. Installation is straightforward: the wire rope is threaded through the stop, positioned in the swage cavity, and then compressed using a hydraulic swage press or a compatible hand‑operated tool. The resulting joint is as strong as the rope itself, distributing load evenly and preventing stress concentrations that could lead to premature failure. Technicians and field workers appreciate the simplicity of the process, which reduces installation time and eliminates the need for welding or complex fastening methods.

Why Choose Us

Fehr Bros Industries has a legacy of over a century in manufacturing reliable wire rope fittings, and this reputation is reflected in every swage stop we produce. Our commitment to quality begins with rigorous material selection; the aluminum alloy used is sourced from certified suppliers and undergoes heat‑treatment to achieve optimal tensile strength and fatigue resistance. Each stop is inspected for dimensional accuracy, ensuring a consistent swage cavity that matches the 1/16 inch rope diameter within tight tolerances. This precision reduces the risk of over‑compression or under‑compression, both of which can compromise the integrity of the rope‑stop assembly. In addition, Fehr provides comprehensive technical support, including installation guidelines, load‑rating charts, and on‑demand assistance from experienced engineers. Our after‑sales service includes a straightforward return policy for defective units and a dedicated hotline for troubleshooting, giving customers confidence that their investment is protected throughout the product lifecycle.

FAQ

What wire rope size is compatible with these swage stops?

The stops are specifically designed for 1/16 inch (approximately 1.6 mm) wire rope. Using a different size may result in an insecure fit.

Can these stops be used in marine applications?

Yes. The aluminum alloy is treated for corrosion resistance, making the stops suitable for exposure to saltwater and humid conditions.

Do I need a special tool to install the swage stops?

A hydraulic swage press or a compatible hand‑operated swage tool is required to compress the stop around the rope. The tool must apply sufficient pressure to achieve a permanent bond.

How many stops are included in the package?

Each package contains 100 individual swage stops, providing ample quantity for extensive projects or ongoing maintenance needs.

What is the load rating for these stops?

The load rating is determined by the wire rope’s own rating. The stop does not reduce the rope’s capacity when installed correctly; it simply transfers the load evenly across the rope’s cross‑section.
