Terminated Wire Rope
Terminated Wire Rope
(OP)
Hi all,
I am looking for pre-terminated/fitted wire rope. The wire rope should be 1/8" diameter w/ some type of plastic coating (doesn't matter what plastic formulation is used), and the terminations should be ball ends.
I ask for pre-terminated because from my initial research, it looks like I have to have a swage press to add fittings to a wire rope, which I don't. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Do you know of any distributors that sell wire rope with ball type fittings attached?

RE: Terminated Wire Rope
If you want full-strength ball terminals, you may want a double-shank ball (like MS20663), and specify a) plastic coating must be stripped prior to swaging, b) swaging to be done by a rotary swaging hammer.
