Stainless Steel Closed Swage Sockets

Upson-Walton's Stainless Closed Swage Sockets

Upson-Walton, by Muncy, manufactures open swage sockets in 304 stainless. Our stainless is very comparable to our carbon steel dimensions, with the same pin diameters, eye thickness and after swage diameter on the shank, using the same dies. Our Made In USA sockets have a notably better aesthetics and look than other stainless sockets, which can translate to better quality, swageability, consistency and support.


Stainless Steel Swage Socket applications

Muncy's stainless swage sockets are used in variety of applications. Our sockets are used on both stainless and carbon steel approved ropes. The allure of stainless is both in better corrosion resistance and look. That makes our sockets ideal in marine applications, food, utility and architectural applications. The socket, or sometimes called "eyes" or "pin eyes", though different, has many options for its use, as the socket can go between the ears and in the pin of our open swage sockets, shackles pins, eyes and custom made lifting or holding points.


Stainless Steel Rusting

Don't forget to wipe the socket shank down or even brush it with a stainless steel brush or pad after swaging, as the contact of the carbon steel alloy die may be enough to allow a light layer of rust over time on the shank. Most do not have stainless dies, so the carbon steel die can create an issue that is easily resolved.

CAUTION

Swage Sockets are recommended for use on 6 x 19 or 6 x 37 Stainless Steel wire rope. Stainless Steel sockets are also approved for use on IPS or XIP (EIP), XXIP (EEIP), RRL, or IWRC wire ropes. Before using swage sockets with other type lay, construction or grade of wire rope, it is recommended that the termination be proofloaded to prove the adequacy of the assembly.
