Ferrules - Swages

Ferrules can also be called swages are “sleeves” that fit around steel wire and are used to crimp (squash) or “terminate” wire ropes. Ferrules vary in size to suit very small (see our  1.6mm stainless diameter wire rope) up to  very large gauge wire (stainless 16mm diameter wire).

Bridco supply ferrules (below) and swage presses and many other fittings such as turnbuckles,  thimbles and eye bolts that may be required in wire rope rigging and other applications.

Hydraulic Swages – Bridco stock hydraulic ferrules (swages) manufactured in Sweden by Talurit AB. Our hydraulic ferrules are available in copper, stainless steel and aluminium, with sizes ranging from 1.5mm to 60mm. The large ferrules are used on commercial constructions such as bridges while the smaller sizes are prodominently used for swaging wire rope.
