An aluminum hourglass sleeve is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant compression fitting used to create secure, permanent loops in wire rope and aircraft cable. Its distinctive hourglass shape is engineered for maximum strength and reliability.
The sleeve is compressed around the cable with a specialized tool, which swages it down, forcing the aluminum to grip the wire strands tightly. This creates a loop or eye that is strong, dependable, and ideal for applications where weight is a concern, such as in rigging, marine environments, and architectural installations.
Material: Aluminum (lightweight, corrosion-resistant)
Shape: Hourglass (for optimal swaging and strength)
Function: To create a permanent loop in wire rope
Key Benefit: Secure and lightweight connection
