Stamped Eyes

Stamped eyes are flat, looped terminations fabricated from steel, available in over 30 standard configurations. They can be bent to custom angles for specific needs, providing a secure attachment point for cables.

  • Applications:

    • Lanyards

    • Support cables

    • Connecting cables

    • Garage door mechanisms

Stops

Stop fittings are cylindrical terminations swaged anywhere along the cable, not just at the end. They permit cable rotation and are used to prevent movement past a certain point.

  • Applications:

    • Garage door cables

    • Security cables

    • Control cables

    • Industrial drive cables

Sleeves

Sleeves are used to create cable loops, sometimes with a thimble inside for added wear resistance. They can be customized to fit specific loop sizes.

  • Applications:

    • Lifting slings

    • Security cables

    • Lanyards

    • Support and restraint cables

Thimbles

Thimbles reinforce cable loops, protecting against wear and maintaining loop shape. Available in standard and heavy-duty sizes.

  • Applications:

    • Lifting cables

    • Support cables

    • Rigging assemblies

Threaded Studs

Threaded studs provide a strong, threaded connection at the cable end, available in various sizes and thread directions.

  • Applications:

    • Architectural supports

    • Machinery controls

    • Tensioning systems

Strap Forks and Strap Eyes

Used with ball or ball shank ends, these fittings allow for cable rotation and are ideal for secure attachments.

  • Applications:

    • Security systems

    • Hanging and lifting assemblies

    • Adjustable supports

Marine Eye Fittings

Marine eyes are robust, corrosion-resistant terminations designed for harsh environments.

  • Applications:

    • Boating and marine rigging

    • Outdoor architectural supports

Fork End Fittings

Fork ends provide a secure, clevis-style connection for precise attachment and alignment.

  • Applications:

    • Tension cables

    • Structural supports

    • Mechanical linkages

Ball End Fittings

Ball ends are spherical cable terminations, swaged onto the cable for a robust and compact connection. They offer high pull-test strength and are commonly used where a secure, low-profile end is required.

  • Applications:

    • Brake cables

    • Throttle cables

    • Exercise equipment

    • Release cables

Handles and Knobs

Handles and knobs are ergonomic terminations for manual operation of push-pull and control cables.

  • Applications:

    • Power equipment controls

    • Throttle and brake cables

    • Release mechanisms

Ball Shanks

Ball shanks combine a ball end with a shank, allowing rotation and reducing wear from attached hardware. Ideal for assemblies needing movement or adjustment.

  • Applications:

    • Lanyards

    • Push/pull controls

    • Exercise equipment

    • Adjustable restraint systems
