Purpose and benefit Prevents crushing or over-stressing of wire rope ends and protects the eye of a wire rope or sling. Stops the cable from flattening around the eye, which preserves the rope’s strength and extends service life. Produces a neat, tight loop for safer, more reliable terminations. Key features Material: high-quality stainless steel 304 for excellent rust and corrosion resistance. Finish: smooth, burr-free construction that reduces abrasion and wear on the rope. Durability: robust design built for long-term use in demanding environments. Function and compatibility Designed for use with coated or bare wire ropes and cables. Ideal for creating clean, compact eyes without deforming the cable or reducing breaking strength. Compatible with typical ship and industrial rigging tasks where secure, protected terminations are required. Performance advantages Reduces the risk of premature failure at the termination point by preventing local crushing and stress concentration. Corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel maintains integrity in wet, salty, or corrosive environments. Smooth surface minimizes abrasion and wear on the rope, contributing to safer operation and lower maintenance. Typical applications / use scenarios Marine rigging and mooring: protects rope eyes and fittings on boats, docks, and shorelines from corrosion and mechanical damage. Industrial lifting and slings: secures clean looped terminations for hoists, cranes, and material-handling slings. Architectural and tension systems: provides tidy, long-lasting terminations for cable railings, guy wires, and structural cables. Why you need this product If you use wire rope in marine or industrial settings, this component improves safety, prolongs rope life, and keeps connections reliable without altering the cable’s properties. Its 304 stainless construction and smooth finish make it suited to harsh environments where corrosion and abrasion are concerns. Material: Stainless Steel 304. Function: Prevents crushing/overstress and protects rope eyes. Compatible with coated and bare wire ropes and cables.
