At
the End of Your Rope? Choose Electroline.
Electroline manufactures
non-swage end fittings and swivels
for wire and synthetic rope, cable
and line. End fittings such as clevis,
eyes, studs, hooks and turnbuckles.
An Electroline wire rope fitting is
installed much like a compression fitting
in a plumbing application (see animation
below, left). The wire rope passes
through a sleeve. The strands are fanned-out
and a plug is inserted. As the plug
is driven into the fanned end of the
rope, the diameter of the end increases
so that the rope can’t dislodge itself.
The last thing you do is to put a socket
over the sleeve and thread it on tight.
It’s a procedure essentially entailing
three steps.
Electroline fitting assemblies are
testable as well via a seconds-long
onsite inspection process. Each fitting
is equipped with an inspection hole
through which the rope strands are
visible, and proper assembly confirmed.
An Electroline fitting is also esthetically
pleasing, and therefore appropriate
for many applications. More importantly,
however, its highly polished, well-finished
appearance conveys an impression of
strength and security. The fittings
are machined to incredible tolerances.
They look and perform like the precision
instruments they actually are.
Electroline fittings are used in a
wide variety of applications. Because
they are made of high-quality materials
such as stainless steel they are a
niche product for outdoor use where
rust can be a problem. They can be
found in zoos, outdoor parking lots,
public ballparks, and in just about
any other outdoor venue where wire
or synthetic rope is employed.
