Selecting and Using Aluminum Sleeves



We’re often asked whether it is better to make an eye with Aluminum sleeves or with wire rope clips.

 

Aluminum sleeves for steel cable assemblies is one of the most commonly performed rigging functions for lighter duty applications.

Aluminum sleeves are stronger, more cost effective, and do not require future maintenance or re-torquing of nuts. They are also more streamlined than wire rope clips.


Where rigging products are concerned, swaging refers to the process of using a tool or machine to apply force to a sleeve or ferrule. Through this process, the sleeve becomes compressed onto and around a portion of cable.

Make an eye by passing the cable through the sleeve and doubling it back.

Before swaging, make sure the “cut end” of the cable sticks out at a length at least 2 cable diameters. This will allow for full contact with the cable when the sleeve expands during swaging.

Place the sleeve into the tool jaws.

Note the proper orientation of the swage tool cavity with the aluminum sleeve.

The sleeve should always be vertically aligned and never horizontal.
With the sleeve in the proper position, make your first swage by squeezing the swage tool handles together until the jaws are completely closed.

For each sleeve size, there is a prescribed number of swage crimps that must be made.

Be sure to leave a small space in between each of the crimps. Your finished assembly should look as shown.
