FOR WIRE ROPE SLEEVES

Applications

They are available in two types and in various sizes.
LIFTING SLING FITTINGS

Design

Aluminium wire rope sleeves are manufactured according to EN 13411-3. For safety during fabrication and
application they are of seamless construction. Prescon carbon steel sleeves are manufactured from carbon
steel. The sleeves are of seamless construction and fit industry standard dies.

Instructions for use

For Aluminium sleeves, please refer to EN 13411-3. Prescon sleeves are recommended for use with 6 x 19
or 6 x 37 IPS or XIP (EIP), RRL, FC, or IWRC wire rope. After creating a loop end multiple progressive
pressings are required to prevent flash, which will develop into a permanent mark or possibly a crack in
the sleeve. A light oil lubricant should be applied to each die before pressing. The sleeve must be cleaned
after the swaging operation to stimulate effective colour change. Colour change is not an indication for
3 .1 proper swaging, only an indication that the sleeve has been pressed. Proper swaging practices are the sling
manufacturer’s responsibility. Before using sleeves with other type lay, construction or grade of wire rope,
it is recommended that the termination be proof loaded to prove the adequacy of the assembly. Regular
inspection of the swaging machine, dies etc. must be conducted to ensure that the equipment continues
to meet required standards.
