- Forged
from special bar quality carbon steel, suitable for
cold forming.
- Hardness
controlled by spheroidize annealing.
- Swage
Socket terminations have an efficiency rating of 100%
based on the catalog strength of wire rope.
- Stamp
for identification after swaging without concern for
fractures (as per directions in National Swaging Brochure).

NOTE:
S-502 Swage Sockets are recommended for use with 6 x 19
or 6 x 37, IPS or XIP (EIP), XXIP (EEIP), RRL, FC or IWRC
wire rope.
Before
using any National Swage fitting with any other type lay,
construction or grade of wire rope, it is recommended
that the termination be destructive tested and documented
to prove the adequacy of the assembly to be manufactured.
In accordance
with ANSI B30.9, all slings terminated with swage sockets
shall be proof loaded.* |

Swage
sockets incorporate a reduced machined area of the
shank which is equivalent to the proper after Swage
dimension. Before swaging, this provides for
an obvious visual difference in the shank diameter.
After swaging, a uniform shank diameter is created
allowing for a QUIC CHECK® and permanent visual
inspection opportunity.
Designed to quickly determine whether the socket
has been through the swaging operation and assist
in field inspections, it does not eliminate the
need to perform standard production inspections
which include gauging for the proper after swage
dimensions or proof loading.
