Flemish Eye Carbon Steel Sleeves

Upson-Walton's Carbon Steel Flemish Eye Sleeves by Muncy

Upson-Walton's Carbon Steel Flemish eye sleeves, also referred to as "steel ferrules" or "molly hogans" are swaged onto wire rope when splicing the wire rope into itself to terminate wire rope by forming an "eye". Our sleeve go over and around the spliced rope up to the "throat" of the eye. The sleeves are manufactured with a diameter wide enough for the spliced rope thickness as well as the two ropes that come out of the sleeve that makes the eye. The sleeve has a taper as well, as there is a single rope protruding from the bottom of the sleeve.


Steel Ferrules Time Tested Quality

Upson-Walton Sleeves have been made for many decades. Upson-Walton was founded in 1871 and made these sleeves for the majority of its existence. Our sleeves are designed to withstand both the extreme forces in swaging and when being swaged onto the rope. Our design has been proven to become the standard in the industry.


Eye and Eye Sling Applications

Our sleeves are on slings with very diverse applications. Slings with our sleeves are used in lifting in construction, oilfield, OEMS and marine applications. Our sleeves have corrosion resistance with either a zinc plating or black oxide coating. Being one of, if not the largest producer of flemish eye sleeves for so long, Upson-Walton Sleeves by Muncy is the most trusted in the industry.

Flemish Eye Carbon Steel Sleeves are recommended for use on 6x19 or 6x37 IPS or XIP, EIP, RRL, FC, or IWRC wire rope. 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 tested to prove the adequacy of the assembly for its intended use. Proper swaging practices are the assembly manufacturer’s responsibility.
