In mechanically swaged fittings, high pressure presses and precision dies cause the metal of the socket to flow around the wires and strands to result in the ultimate compactness and strength with minimum weight.
The material is weldless, drop-forged steel. Normally, only regular lay rope is used in the swaged sockets. The swaged assemblies are interchangeable with poured sockets up through 2” rope diameters. Assembly length is measured from the centerline of pins for both open and closed swaged sockets.
