GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

FOR SAFE OPERATION OF SWAGING MACHINES
TALURIT TM
1.6 SWAGER WORK ZONE
MARK THE WORK ZONE

There must be a clearly marked work zone around your
swager. This marked zone is to keep unauthorized and
untrained people clear of an operating swager. These
boundaries must be maintained so they can be easily
seen. As the operator it is your responsibility to:
• Know the boundaries of the work zone.

This zone’s limits must be clearly marked and
maintained.
• Boundaries can be marked by a wall, a fence, a rail,

or a painted area on the floor which has been posted
in writing.
• The swager work zone needs to be adapted for each

swager size, i.e. a larger work zone for larger swagers.
• Before you begin swaging, make certain only trained

swager operators or helpers are inside the zone.
• If unauthorized employees enter the zone while you

are operating the swager, warn them to stay away.
• Do not allow other workers to take your attention

away from the swaging operation.

• Personal protective equipment could help you avoid a

serious accident. Wear safety glasses, safety shoes and
helmet when operating the swager.
• Keep hands and fingers clear of die faces. Never place

hands or fingers between die faces.
• Never use a swager to press out the core of a spelter

socket.
• When swaging multi-leg bridles, take care to keep

oblong links and other end fittings clear of die rails
and die lockup pins.
• To avoid pinching of fingers you must always hold

the wire rope. Both hands should hold the wire rope
with safe distance from the dies when operating the
machine with foot pedal.
• Never use a swaging machine to straighten a bent tool

or rod or any other object.
• Use the correct size of die for the sleeve or ferrule to

be swaged.
• If you do not have the correct size die for the sleeve or
ferrule, never attempt to swage the sleeve or ferrule
by using multiple passes and a die that ”almost” fits.
Deadly explosion of the die can be the result!
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the

type of fitting in use. Fittings may be single-swage,
two-swage, or multi-swage. Dies may be multi-swage
and may require partial length swaging.

tables or the length after swaging does not match our
given after swage dimensions, then special care must
be taken! This is an indication that something is wrong
or not matching the parameters in our tables. Always
contact our technical department for guidance.
• Use proper size and type fittings for the rope construc-
tion. Use only wire rope constructions recommended
for the fittings being swaged.
• Do not swage on used/second hand wire ropes.
• Make sure dies are properly mounted.
• Do not allow flashing with steel fittings.
• Give consideration when swaging metric versus impe-

rial rope sizes.
• Do not swage oversized fittings.
• Do not swage mis-matched components.
• Do not swage other objects, such as rebar, pipe, tub-

ing, etc.
• Make sure dies and fittings are well lubricated.
• Ensure the dies are clean and free of debris.

1.9 SWAGER INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY
THE FOLLOWING IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER

IN TERMS OF SWAGER INSPECTION AND MAINTE-
NANCE SAFETY:
• Safe swaging depends on regular and careful inspec-

tion of the swager.
• If early signs of wear are found, take immediate steps
to determine if maintenance is required.
• Maintenance assure that the swager continues to run
smoothly.
• Only a well-maintained swager will produce quality
assemblies which perform to specification in the field.
• To safely inspect or maintain any swager, follow any
lockout/tagout procedures your shop uses. This pre-
vents accidental and unexpected machine startup.
AFTER YOU HAVE DISABLED THE SWAGER, CHECK

THE FOLLOWING:
• Make sure all bolts and nuts are in place and tightened
to proper torque.
• Make sure the die holder is not damaged.
• Die surfaces should be smooth and free of cracks.
• Die holder side rails should be straight and tight.
• Keep dies and die holder surfaces clean and free of
metal shavings, slag, grit, and sand.
REDUCING FRICTION WHEN THE SWAGER OPERATES

IS ESSENTIAL!
• Lubricate all guide bushings daily with light oil.

• Inspect hydraulic rods for corrosion. Use emery cloth
or steel wool to maintain a high polish on rod surfaces.
• Lubricate dies and fittings before beginning each
swaging operation.

2.1 CHECKING THE WIRE ROPE TYPE
DIAMETER OF THE WIRE ROPE:

Before swaging always begin by checking the diameter of
the wire rope. The largest measured diameter is applicable.
Tables and instructions are based on new wire ropes.

The rope grade is normally to be maximum 1960.
The types of rope lay shall be Ordinary or Lang lay.
Note! Some designs of FC ropes are made very rigid and

might need different selection of ferrule. Indication of
this is that the ferrule becomes longer after swaging and
higher required load.
TALURIT TM
2.2 CHECKING THE FILL FACTOR
CHECKING THE FILL FACTOR:

The fill factor (f ) is the ratio between the sum of the nomi- A
nal metallic cross-sectional areas of all the wires in the f= =
rope (A) and the circumscribed area (Au) of the rope based Au
on its nominal diameter (D).
The fill factor is important when selecting the ferrule or fit- π
ting size. The general guideline is: The higher the fill factor, C= f•
the larger the ferrule. 4
2.3 ENDS OF WIRE ROPES
SERVED WIRE ROPE ENDS:

Always ensure that the cut ends of the pre-formed wire
rope will not unlay. If a served rope end is to be swaged
within the ferrule the serving shall consist only of a strand
or wire. The serving material shall be of aluminium or an-
nealed steel and shall have a tensile strength no greater
than 400 N/mm2. The diameter of the serving shall be no
greater than 5% of the nominal rope diameter. Any serv-
Served rope end
ing within the ferrule before swaging shall be no longer to prevent unlay
than 0,5 x nominal rope diameter and the overall length
of serving shall extend no further than 1 x rope diameter
from the rope end.
approx. 0,5xD
ANNEALED WIRE ROPE ENDS:
Annealed ends must not be swaged inside the ferrule and
annealed ends are recommended not to be longer than
0,5 x the wire rope diameter. Please also see our separate
instructions for annealing machines type AV.
Please note that our ferrules should only be used on new Annealed rope end
wire ropes.
Annealed ends are not to be cooled in water due to

hardening risk of the wires.

3.1 T AND TKH FERRULES
EUROPEAN STANDARD SYSTEM – EN 13411-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The aluminium ferrules, type T and type TKH correspond to the European standard for turnback ferrules (also known as
ferrule secured eye terminations, FSET). The standard is EN 13411-3. The ferrule system is specified in Appendix 1. The
ferrules are extruded seamlessly over mandrel and the aluminium alloy is EN AW-5051A according to EN 573-3.
APPLICATIONS
The aluminium ferrules are the most commonly used ferrules on the market today. They have a vast variety of
applications, especially in the lifting gear industry. The T ferrules and TKH ferrules are thoroughly specified and very well
defined for many different wire rope applications. Four different cases are tested and verified according to the standard,
EN 13411-3. The ferrules can be used for fibre core single layer wire ropes, steel core single layer wire ropes, rotation
resistant wire ropes and spiral strand ropes. Always use new wire ropes.
THE CORRECT SIZE OF THE SLING EYE

If a thimble is not used, the distance from the unswaged ferrule to the bearing point of the soft eye must be at least 15 x
the wire rope diameter (D), as per the figure. When using a pin or a hook, you should calculate max. 3 x pin diameter, or
the hook width to verify 15 x D or more. The width of the eye without load shall be approximately half its length.

The turnback ferrule system is easy to use. It is quick, safe and has proved itself to be totally reliable. It is also more
efficient than most other swaging methods on the market and has been tested and verified according to type testing
requirements. Only valid for up to 1960 grade wire rope.
TK ferrules do not correspond to standard mentioned above but have been tested and verified by Talurit (please follow
our swaging instructions as per the technical data sheet.

MATCHING WIRE ROPE TO FERRULE

Selection of the correct ferrule is to take account of:
-The measured rope diameter
-The rope type (and core)
-The nominal fill factor, f (or metallic cross-sectional area factor, C) of the rope. Very important for fibre core ropes!
Case 1
For single layer round strand ropes with fibre core and cable-laid ropes having a fill factor of at least 0,36 (C≥0,283) and max 0,45
(C≤0,353), a ferrule having a size / Code number equivalent to the measured rope diameter is to be selected from the table on next page.
Case 2
For single layer round strand ropes with fibre core and cable laid ropes having a filling factor greater than 0,45 (C>0,353) and for single
layer round strand ropes with metallic core and for rotation-resistant round strand ropes having a fill factor up to 0,62 (C≤0,487), a fer-
rule having the next larger size / Code number than the measured rope diameter is to be selected from table on next page.
Case 3
For single layer round strand ropes with metallic core and for rotation-resistant round strand ropes and parallel-closed round strand
ropes having a fill factor greater than 0,62 and up to 0,78 (0,487<C≤0,613) the ferrule is to be selected from table on next page.
Case 4
For spiral strand rope having a fill factor not greater than 0,78 (C≤0,613), ferrules are to be selected having two size / Code numbers
larger than the actual rope diameter from table on next page. Two ferrules spaced two rope diameters apart are to be used per termination.
After pressing a space is to be maintained between the ferrules.
Applicable rope types and grade
Single layer, rotation resistant and parallel-closed stranded ropes confirming to EN 12385-4, stranded ropes conforming
to EN 12385-5, spiral strand ropes conforming to EN 12385-10 and cable-laid ropes as specified in EN 13414-3.
The maximum rope grade is to be 1960. The types of rope lay shall be Ordinary or Lang lay.
For tensile grade up to and including 2160 we have an approved system called T-LOC. For higher and lower filling factor, please contact our Technical Depart-
ment.

3.2 T-LOC (STEEL REINFORCEMENT)

TALURIT™ SYSTEM
Patent pending: Application no. PCT/SE2010/000142
Reinforced aluminium termination.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
T-LOC is produced from carbon steel and designed for rotation resistant wire rope of grade 2160 together with
T ferrules, especially in combination with solid thimble eyes.
The system is tested with rotation resistant wire ropes in class 35(W) x 7 and has been validated
according to EN 13411-3. The tested constructions are 34(W) x K7 and 39(W) x K7-WSC, fill factor: 0.74-0.75.
APPLICATIONS
When using high tensile wire rope of grade 2160, T-LOC will secure the special sling eye which has a higher
splitting force than normal. Since T-LOC is produced from carbon steel and has a better tensile strength than
aluminium. Solid thimbles according to DIN 3091 as well as high rope grades will apply strain on the ferrule side
nearest the sling eye. T-LOC prevents the aluminium ferrule from splitting due to pressure from the wider angle
of the sling eye.
TO BE NOTED
No new dies are necessary, T-LOC is swaged in your existing dies along with the aluminium ferrule. During the
swaging operation they’re joined together seamlessly. Only aluminium T ferrules may be used together with T-LOC.
Due to the variety of steel wire ropes, it is difficult to approve all of them. If other wire rope constructions and fill
factors are to be used, tests must be done in order to verify the strength of application.
T-LOC is available from stock for wire rope diameter range 8 to 55 mm. The distance from the T-LOC to the solid
thimbles after swaging must be at least 1xD from the “simulated” point of the nominal wire rope diameter.

TALURIT™ SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The aluminium TALUKON ferrule has been developed to have a very tight streamlined fit around
the wire rope after pressing. TALUKON splicing system is validated and fulfills the requirements of
EN 13411-3.
The aluminium ferrule is tapered in a milling machine to obtain the special design and inspection
hole. TALUKON is available in sizes 18-44, art no: TKON. The ferrules are marked with a batch num-
ber and type number.
APPLICATIONS
TALUKON is tailor made for the lifting gear industry. TALUKON has the tightest fit around the wire
rope than any other conical ferrule system. The taper has been designed so it will not get caught
when lifting but should slide off, minimizing the risk of accidents.
TO BE NOTED
The inspection hole has been designed so that the exact insertion length can be achieved and
verified after the swaging operation. Check after swaging that the wire rope has not slipped while
swaging. TALUKON is a patented solution: Application no. 09164696.8 Conical ferrule for sling ap-
plication. Condition for usage of TALUKON ferrules is a signed license agreement with Talurit AB.

TALURIT™ SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TS ferrule is the shorter version of the standard T ferrule.
APPLICATIONS
TS-ferrules corresponded to the old British standard, BS 5281. But due to the shorter length of the
TS-ferrule, there is a limitation in strength. It is now used less commonly due to the limitations in
performance for certain wire rope grades and applications.
TO BE NOTED
In low-grade wire rope applications, the TS ferrule can be an alternative to the T ferrule as the cost is
lower. The TS ferrule is only tested and verified on strength on wire ropes up to grade 1770.

3.6 TCU AND TCUK FERRULES

TALURIT™ SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TCU and TCUK ferrules are made from Copper. These ferrules have been validated according to TALURIT™
splicing system, which is within the framework of EN 13411-3. The Copper material is not accepted in this
standard.
APPLICATIONS
Copper is used together with stainless steel wire ropes to avoid galvanic corrosion in a saltwater
environment. The same dies as in aluminium turnback ferrules can be used. The material is high grade
copper in soft condition. The ferrules are seamlessly extruded over mandrel.
TO BE NOTED
We do not guarantee the strength of slings for lifting activities made of Copper turnback ferrules.
A termination performed according to our instructions will normally withstand a tensile strength of 90%
of minimum breaking load (MBL) of the wire rope. Verifying tests must be done to secure the strength of
the termination.

ST, SLST (carbon steel turnback ferrules) STS (carbon steel turnback ferrules)
3.7 ST, SLST AND STS FERRULES

TALURIT™ SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ST, SLST and STS turnback ferrules are made from carbon steel. These ferrules are typically more resistant
to mechanical wear and have been validated according to EN 13411-3. The material used is in compliance
with the standard. This carbon steel ferrule system is available in sizes 5-94.
APPLICATIONS
Typically carbon steel ferrules are used when corrosion, higher temperature and special dragging
applications are used. This system is also an alternative to the flemish eye, this is due to the fact that you
have all the benefits as above but the simplicity of a straight turnback system.
TO BE NOTED
The turnback ferrule system is easy to use. It is quick, safe and has proved itself to be totally reliable. It is far
more efficient than all other swaging methods on the market.

The ferrules are commonly used in applications within the food processing industry and the
nuclear industry. They have common uses in marine applications and they are widely used in
architectural designs e.g. balustrades and fencing.
TO BE NOTED
These ferrules are normally used on stainless steel wire ropes to achieve the best possible
resistance against corrosion.

For higher tensile grade and higher Fill factor, please contact our Technical Department.
Swaging: The INOX ferrules are swaged according to our specified swaging method for turnback ferrules.
Please read the swaging instructions for turnback ferrules in chapter 4.
Note! We do not guarantee strength of slings for lifting activities made of INOX-ferrules. A termination performed
according to our instructions will normally withstand a tensile strength of 90% of the minimum-breaking
load (MBL) of the wire rope. Verifying tests must be done to find out the strength.
Please read our TALURIT™ Splicing Instructions carefully to secure a safe and correct swaging operation.
Note! If the required pressure is higher than indicated in our tables or that the length after swaging does not match our
given after swage dimensions, special care must be taken! This is an indication that something is wrong or not
matching the parameters in our tables. All selection tables are recommendations built on test results, standard
requirements and experience and must be seen as guidelines. There will always be cases where some specifications
are different from what is proven. Always contact our technical department for guidance.

3.9 TALUCRIMP FERRULES AND HOURGLASS SLEEVES

TALURIT™ SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TALUCRIMP is a mechanical splicing system that is used on steel wire rope from 8 to 12 mm diameter (fibre and
steel core). The ferrules are swaged onto the rope using light weight hand tools weighing less than 8 kgs.
These tools provide an efficient turnback connection.
HOURGLASS sleeves for eye, lap and stop splicing are available in aluminum. These sleeves are not made from
seamless tubes! Do not use for lifting or other critical application.
APPLICATIONS
TALUCRIMP is a tested connection for steel wire rope in 7x19 Seale construction. This rope is used in the
construction of ropes courses but also in forrestry applications.
The HOURGLASS sleeves are used on farms for fences and also to make anti-theft protection on for example
bicycle locks.
TO BE NOTED
TALUCRIMP ferrules and HOURGLASS sleeves are not approved for lifting purposes or other critical applications.

4.2 ASSEMBLY OF TURNBACK FERRULES
MAKING THE EYE:

Enter the wire rope into the ferrule. When the
loop is formed the end of the wire rope is returned into the
ferrule according to type as indicated in
the figures. (D= wire rope diameter.)
Note! The free end must always protrude after swaging, but
must not protrude more than 0,5xD after swaging.
To achieve the correct protrusion several attempts might be 1,5xD before swaging
needed. In case of ropes severed by heat process, only the
annealed portion shall protrude but no more than one rope
diameter.
EYE ASSEMBLY WITH A THIMBLE:

The distance between the point of the thimble and the fer- Thimble with simulated point
rule should be at least 1,5 x D (D= the nominal diameter of
the wire rope) before swaging. When using a thimble without 1,5xD before swaging
a point the distance should be at least 2 x D. Please note that
this distance is measured with a caliper between the ferrule
and the top of the thimble.
We recommend larger distances than above for assemblies
Thimble with point
on large wire rope diameters (above 60 mm).
CONICAL FERRULES WITH INSPECTION HOLE:

Before swaging conical ferrules with inspection hole, make
sure that the short end of the wire rope is entered all the way
to the back edge of the inspection hole! Some variations can
occur depending on type of wire rope.
THE CORRECT SIZE OF THE SLING EYE: Dimensions for eye and pin
If a thimble is not used, the distance from the unswaged fer- Pin diameter
rule to the bearing point of the soft eye must be at least 15 x max h/3 D
the wire rope diameter (D), as per the figure. In some cases
the sling eye should be even larger. Using a pin or a hook D= Nominal
calculate maximum 3 x pin diameter or the hook width to rope diameter
h
verify 15 x D or more. The width of the eye without load shall
be approximately half its length.
FIXING THE WIRE ROPE END IN THE FERRULE:

If the end of the wire rope is fixed in the ferrule before swag-
ing then this should be done with care and preferably with
controlled pressure, e.g. with our pre-swaging machines.
Avoid faulty or unnecessary deformation of the ferrule. Do
not clench or hammer in the middle of the long side of the Correct Wrong
ferrule. See figure.

CHECKING THE SWAGE DIES:

Check that the ferrule type and code number
corresponds with the details marked on the die.
Note! Our dies are not marked TCU;
! for these ferrules use the type

4.8 CHECKING AND MARKING AFTER SWAGING
CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE SWAGED

FERRULE
Check that the ferrule has been properly swaged and the
wire rope is correct in alignment. Each ferrule shall be visually
examined, free from flaws and defects. Any flash produced
on the ferrules should be removed without damage to the Correct! Wrong! Wrong!
ferrule or the rope. The wire rope The top and the bottom The ferrule has cracked
is alligned and the half of the ferrule are during swaging
ferrule is round. displaced.
CHECK THE DIAMETER AND LENGTH AFTER
SWAGING
At each set-up the swaged ferrule shall be dimensionally
checked to verify that it is within the diameter and when ap-
plicable length limits specified in the tables for ferrules. Each Always check the diameter
swaged ferrule after the set-up shall be checked for diameter after swaging
to verify that it is within the diameter limits.
SWAGING WITH A THIMBLE Min. 1xD after swaging

If a thimble is incorporated the point of the thimble should
be at least 1 x D (the diameter of the wire rope) away from
the ferrule after swaging. See figure.
When using a thimble without point, the point has to be Thimble with point
simulated and the distance from the simulated point must be
minimum 1 x D after swaging. Thimbles are recommended to
follow applicable standard. Note! The distance is measured Min. 1xD after swaging
with a caliper between the ferrule and the top of the thimble.
WARNING! If the ferrule is swaged too close to the thimble
there is a severe risk of splitting the ferrule.
CHECK THE SIZE OF THE DEAD END Thimble with simulated point
Make sure the dead end of the wire rope protrudes from the
ferrule after swaging. Our recommendation is less than 0,5
x D (the diameter of the wire rope), to exceed this can cause Max. D/2
injury. In case of conical ferrule make sure the dead end is
visible in the inspection hole.
MARKING OF FERRULES AFTER SWAGING

Marking of swaged ferrules should be carried out according
to ruling standards. Use a steel stamp or our marking ma-
chines. The following maximum letter sizes and maximum
depth of impression are valid:
For ferrule No. Max. letter Size Max. impression depth

8-24 3 mm 0,5 mm

4.9 USAGE AND SCRAPPING
NON SUITABLE ENVIRONMENTS

Ferrule secured eye terminations of aluminium, copper, steel and
INOX shall not be exposed to temperatures outside the range:
-40°C to 150°C (IWRC)
-40 °C to 100°C (FC)

CHECK FOR DEFORMATION AND CHECK

DIAMETER AND LENGTH
Slings shall be taken out of use if their ferrules have been exposed
to deformation or when the outer diameter has been reduced to
less than 95% of the original diameter.
The TKH ferrule has an inspection hole to ensure the short

end of the wire rope is correctly positioned after swaging.
The ferrule is swaged in a die with a spigot to ensure that
the inspection hole remains open after swaging.
This check could also be used during service.
