Forged Closed Swage Sockets
Forged closed swage sockets are robust fittings for wire ropes, forged for strength and safety. They securely terminate wire ropes, preventing slippage, and are ideal for heavy lifting applications.
Forged Closed Swage Sockets
Forged closed swage sockets are essential components in rigging and lifting applications, designed to create a secure attachment point for wire rope. Here’s a description of their key features, applications, and how to use them:
Key Features:
- Forged Construction: These sockets are made from high-quality steel for strength, durability, and resistance to heavy loads.
- Closed Design: The swage socket’s closed design securely contains the wire rope, reducing the risk of slippage.
- Precision Machined: Precision machining ensures proper fit and alignment with the wire rope, enhancing safety and load capacity.
- Threaded End: Some models have a threaded end for easy installation onto rigging components like shackles, eyebolts, or lifting attachments.

Applications:
- Lifting and Rigging: Forged closed swage sockets provide secure attachment points for lifting and rigging applications. Industries such as construction, maritime, oil and gas, and heavy machinery employ them.
- Wire Rope Termination: They are specifically designed to terminate wire ropes, providing a safe and reliable connection between the wire rope and other rigging hardware.
- Structural Support: In addition to lifting and rigging, they can also be utilized for structural support applications where wire ropes are used to suspend or support loads.
How to Use:
- Select the Correct Size: Choose a forged closed swage socket that matches the diameter of your wire rope. Using the wrong size can compromise safety and load capacity.
- Prepare the Wire Rope: Properly cut and prepare the wire rope according to manufacturer specifications. Ensure the rope end is clean and free of frays or damage.
- Insert the Wire Rope: Insert the prepared end of the wire rope into the socket until it reaches the bottom, ensuring that the rope fully seats within the socket.
- Swage or Crimp: Depending on the design of the socket, use an appropriate swaging or crimping tool to secure the wire rope in place. This process involves compressing the socket onto the wire rope to create a tight, secure connection.
- Inspect: Properly terminate the wire rope, then inspect the assembly for any signs of damage, deformation, or irregularities.. Ensure that the connection is secure and meets safety standards before putting it into service.
