Open Swage Socket For Wire Rope Sling
Gostern Open Swage Socket for Wire Rope Sling is a high-strength, permanent termination fitting designed for critical lifting and rigging applications. The forged steel socket is cold-formed (swaged) onto the wire rope using hydraulic equipment, creating a permanent termination that develops up to 100% of the wire rope's breaking strength. Manufactured in compliance with ASME B30.9 and EN 13411-8 standards. Available in open socket (fork) or closed socket (bow) configurations. Recommended for use with 6×19 or 6×37 IWRC wire rope. Sizes from 6mm to 32mm. Widely used for crane pendants, bridge cables, mooring systems, and heavy-duty lifting slings. Proof load testing required per ASME B30.9.
Important Note: Swage sockets must be installed using proper hydraulic equipment and dies. All assemblies shall be proof loaded before use. Not recommended for fiber core wire rope.
We support OEM, ODM and custom size services to meet different application requirements.
