Swage or Swageless, that’s the question!

Swage Applications

Swage fittings are the backbone of heavy-duty cable tensioning systems. These fittings are permanently compressed onto a cable using specialized swaging tools, creating a secure and robust connection. Swage fittings are your go-to choice for projects where strength and durability are non-negotiable:

  • Architectural Railings: Achieve that sleek, modern look while ensuring your railings are rock-solid.
  • Bridges and Structures: Trust in the stability and strength swage fittings bring to critical tension members.
  • Marine and Rigging: Perfect for the tough conditions at sea, providing reliable connections for sailboats and other marine applications.
  • Industrial Uses: Essential for cranes, lifting gear, and heavy machinery, where failure is not an option.

Swageless Applications

Swageless fittings offer a flexible, easy-to-install alternative for your cable tensioning needs. These fittings don’t require swaging tools, making them ideal for a range of applications where convenience and adjustability are key:
  • DIY Projects and Home Improvements: Perfect for weekend warriors and small-scale projects. No special tools needed!
  • Temporary Installations: Great for event setups or any temporary structures that need quick assembly and disassembly.
  • Adjustable Systems: Easily tweak the tension without fuss, ideal for garden trellises, cable railings, and shade structures. Emergency Repairs: When you need a quick fix on the spot, swageless fittings are your best friend.

Choosing the Right System

When deciding between swage and swageless tensioning systems, consider the specific needs of your project. Swage systems are ideal for permanent, heavy-duty applications, while swageless systems offer flexibility and ease of installation. Our team at SightLines is here to help you choose the best tensioning system to ensure your project’s success.
