DIES A tool used to compress ferrule terminals onto a rope. Always used in conjunction with a Swager. A die has two defining characteristics: the ferrule for which it is designed for, and the block size in which it is manufactured. A die for a given ferrule may be manufactured in more than one block size and the different bore format e.g. straight through, rounded, conical. DIN 393 The former German standard for Aluminium Ferrules. Now expired and replaced by EN DIN 395 The former German standard for Flemish Eye. Now expired and replaced by EN DUPLEX Refers to swaged ferrules intended for use with double-back, fold back, returned loops, or turnback eyes formed by laying the wire rope back on itself to form a loop. Called FSET (Ferrule Secured Eye Termination). EN The European Standard regarding: Terminations for steel wire ropes - Safety EN The European Standard regarding: Steel wire rope slings - Safety END STOP A type of rope fitting used to terminate wire rope, where the swage shank also directly supports the tension applied to the swaged termination.

Normally used for lower strength applications. ISO 8793 An International Standard Organisation s standard for FSET s. It defines certain manufacturing parameters and type approval requirements. LONG SEVERAL STAGE DIES Long dies/swages designed to press ferrules and fittings with several bites. The dies are moved in the swager to get the correct center line, before doing the second stage. These dies are longer than the ferrule length and have to be displaced during pressing operation. For use only with straight Aluminium and Copper turnback ferrules and different types of fittings. See relevant data sheet and instruction. MECHANICAL SPLICE Splice which uses some form of Ferrule or End Stop, which is then swaged onto the rope. Both Turnback and Flemish Eye Splices are Mechanical Splices. METALLIC CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA FACTOR (C) Factor derived from fill factor (f) and used in the calculation to determine the nominal metallic cross-sectional area of a rope. This may be expressed as: C = f x π 4 MULTI STAGE SWAGING All swagers have a capacity limitation for how large ferrules they can swage in one stage. By using the multi stage technique, it is possible to extend this range of ferrules to larger sizes. The principle is to swage the back and front part of the ferrule in stages in order to close the dies completely. Also called several stage swaging. NOMINAL METALLIC CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA (A) The product of the metallic cross-sectional area factor (C) and the square of the nominal rope diameter (d). This may be expressed as: A = C x d 2 OPEN THROAT PRESS See C-HEAD PRESS. PRESS A machine used to compress ferrules onto a rope. The tooling (swaging dies) is changeable.

11 TALURIT TM 1.3 GENERAL WARNINGS UNDERSTANDING ALL WARNINGS WARNING: Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in serious injury or death. Make sure purchasers and end users of TALURIT TM products read and understand all warnings, cautions, and instructions. 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 has been tested. Please note that we do not take responsibility for results when a specification is outside the splicing system requirements. If in doubt, contact our Technical department for advice and cooperation. NOTE: If the required pressure is higher than indicated in our 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. All TALURIT TM products are sold with the express understanding that the purchaser is thoroughly familiar with the correct application and safe use of the product. Always refer to new and not used products. Responsibility for the use and application of the products rests with the user. Any product will fail if it is abused, misapplied, worn out, or improperly maintained. Failure can cause loads to swing or fall out of control, and may result in personal injury or death, as well as property damage. Never exceed the Working Load Limit for the product. The Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum load which should ever be applied to the product. WLL ratings are based on usual environmental conditions in wire rope catalogs. When recommended wire rope sizes are shown in catalogs or instructions, TALURIT TM products are rated for use only with those sizes. Do not exceed the Working Load Limit stated by the rope manufacturer. Extreme environmental conditions of heat, cold, and/or corrosion, or high-risk applications may necessitate a reduction of the WLL. Avoid shock loads. Avoid jerking, impacting, swinging or handling loads in such a manner that the WLL of the rigging can be exceeded. Avoid irregular loading. No rigging fitting should be loaded principally in bending, torsion, or shear. Avoid these conditions by loading only in the normal, straight-line pull for which the fitting is designed. Avoid side loading. Inspect products regularly. No product will last indefinitely. Corrosion, wear, deformation, gouges, misuse, abuse, alteration, and other conditions will occur and will reduce the Working Load Limit of a product. Perform periodic inspection to determine when to replace a product and avoid a rigging hazard. Inspection frequency depends on users specific applications and local conditions. When in doubt, inspect prior to use. If a part is judged defective, destroy the part - do not just discard it! Never permit anyone under a lifted load. Conduct all lifting operations in such a manner that if an equipment failure should occur, no person will be injured. Keep out from under a load and keep out of a load s line of force. Do not weld or modify fittings. TALURIT TM swage fittings are designed to be mechanically attached to the wire rope using TALURIT TM Swage s, Swaging machines and Procedures. Do not weld or otherwise modify TALURIT TM swage fittings. TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB. All unauthorised use is prohibited. 218, Talurit AB 11

12 TALURIT TM 1.3 GENERAL WARNINGS Proper training is important. Riggers should be properly trained in the design and use of rigging assemblies. Follow the Manual and the Swaging instruction. Follow TALURIT TM Swage Instruction Manual for proper wire rope selection, die selection and swaging techniques when using TALURIT TM swage fittings. The manual contains detailed instructions for swaging all TALURIT TM wire rope fittings with illustrations and captions on how to assemble and swage each type of fitting. Don t swage without it. Correct rope length. Do not use too short lengths of rope between swage fittings as this reduces the strength of the assembly. Performance is adversely affected when there are less than 2 rope diameters or a minimum of 3 feet of free rope between swaged fittings. If assemblies less than 3 feet must be used, testing should be performed to ensure adequate strength. Swage fitting performance. TALURIT TM swage fittings are designed to perform satisfactorily when new and when they are applied to the proper size new wire rope using the procedures described in the TALURIT TM Swaging Instructions Manual. Wear and normal use will reduce the Working Load Limit of any assembly. If you have any doubts about a new or used assembly, appropriate inspection and testing should be conducted to ensure adequate performance. Do not use end stops (Round ferrules) for suspending loads. They are not intended for use in applications where loads are fully suspended overhead except in some log harvesting systems where adequate precautions are taken. Other fittings, such as sleeves and sockets, should be used for overhead work. Use drumline ferrules only in winchline-drum applications. Drumline ferrules are intended only for use in holding the winchline in the winch drum pocket. Drumline ferrules must not be used as choker ferrules or for any other purpose than intended. When using drumline ferrules, at least 3 windings of the winchline must remain on the winch drum to avoid direct strain on the drumline ferrules. The distance between ferrule and thimble has to be more than 1xD from pointed end after pressing. If the thimble has no pointed end the missing distance has to be added, so that the distance to the simulated point is min. 1xD. Regarding wire rope outside the general standard EN and 5 you need to have contact with our technical department for advice. WARNING! All terminations on non-standard ropes need to be tested and verified according to valid standard requirements.! CAUTION!! WARNING!! DANGER! TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB.

15 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.

16 TALURIT TM 1.7 GENERAL OPERATIONAL SAFETY THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES ARE IMPORTANT TO AVOID ANY PERSONAL INJURIES WHILE OPERATING A SWAGER: The original mechanical splicing system. Rev Operating a swager safely and properly begins before the dies even start to close. Make sure you are familiar with the manufacturer s instruction manual before operating the swager. If you are in doubt about a particular job, ask your supervisor or competent person. General Instruction Small Swagers Models: P 13T 1P/1S and P 25T 1S E Copyright 217, Talurit AB Since 1948 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. s may be multi-swage and may require partial length swaging. TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB. All unauthorised use is prohibited. 218, Talurit AB 16

17 TALURIT TM 1.7 GENERAL OPERATIONAL SAFETY If a thimble is assembled in an eye termination, make sure distance between ferrule and simulated top of thimble is minimum 1xD after swaging. If not followed, severe failure can occur. If special solid thimbles or very short thimbles are used, contact our Technical department for advice. Critical and heavy-duty applications should be protected with extra safety. Our T-LOC system is one solution in some applications. Contact our Technical department. Verify after-swage dimensions by measuring or with gauges. This applies to both diameter and length. PAY ATTENTION! Min. 1xD after swaging Simulated point If the required pressure is higher than indicated in our 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 construction. 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 imperial rope sizes. Do not swage oversized fittings. Do not swage mis-matched components. Do not swage other objects, such as rebar, pipe, tubing, etc. Make sure dies and fittings are well lubricated. Ensure the dies are clean and free of debris.

19 TALURIT TM 1.8 SWAGER DIE SAFETY CHECKING THE DIES The parts subject to the greatest force during the swaging operation are the dies and the die holders. Take special care to check these areas prior to operating the swager: KEEP A CLEAR VIEW OF THE WORK An unobstructed view of the swager dies is crucial to the production of a wire rope assembly which will perform to its specifications in the field. Some areas to watch include:! Damaged dies can be dangerous! Inspect your dies and never use any dies that are cracked, worn or abraded (galled).! Allow nothing to obstruct or block your view, or your co-worker s view, of the die closing area.! Only use the proper size die. You, the operator, are responsible for making sure the dies, the rope and the fittings match.! You may be moving the assembly several times during the operation. Allow sufficient rope handling room around the swager area.! Always, use a matched set of dies.! If your swager uses foot controls, make certain they are unobstructed and guarded.! Always make certain that the dies are clear of any foreign matter before you begin swaging. This will keep foreign matter from being ejected during the swaging operation.! When manipulating wire rope assemblies in and out of the swaging area, be careful not to damage hydraulic hoses, gauges, guide bushings or tie rods.! Always wear personal safety gear such as glasses, shoes, helmet and gloves. TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB. All unauthorised use is prohibited. 218, Talurit AB 19

20 TALURIT TM 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 inspection 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 prevents 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. surfaces should be smooth and free of cracks. 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.

22 TALURIT TM 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. ROPE TYPE, GRADE, CORE, LAY AND FILL FACTOR: Check rope type, core, rope grade, type of rope lay and fill factor (f) or metallic cross-sectional area factor (C). Make sure the wire rope corresponds to requirements in the tables for each ferrule type. Note! Most of the selection tables refer to 196 rope grade. Single layer round strand rope with a fibre core Single layer round strand rope with a metallic core BASIC ROPE TYPES: Single layer round strand rope Cable laid rope Rotation-resistant round strand rope Parallel-closed round strand rope Spiral strand rope (see pictures to the right) Cable laid single layer round strand rope with a metallic core Rotation-resistant round strand rope with a metallic core (always more than one layer) Parallel-closed round strand rope with a metallic core APPLICABLE ROPE TYPES AND GRADE FOR THE TALURIT TM SPLICING SYSTEMS INSTRUCTIONS: Single layer, rotation-resistant and parallel-closed stranded ropes conforming to EN Stranded ropes conforming to EN Spiral strand ropes conforming to EN Cable-laid ropes as specified in EN Spiral strand rope with a metallic core The rope grade is normally to be maximum 196. 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 is a trademark owned by Talurit AB. All unauthorised use is prohibited. 218, Talurit AB 22

23 TALURIT TM 2.2 CHECKING THE FILL FACTOR CHECKING THE FILL FACTOR: The fill factor (f) is the ratio between the sum of the nominal metallic cross-sectional areas of all the wires in the rope (A) and the circumscribed area (Au) of the rope based on its nominal diameter (D). The fill factor is important when selecting the ferrule or fitting size. The general guideline is: The higher the fill factor, the larger the ferrule. f = A A u = C = f π 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 annealed steel and shall have a tensile strength no greater than 4 N/mm 2. The diameter of the serving shall be no greater than 5% of the nominal rope diameter. Any serving within the ferrule before swaging shall be no longer than,5 x nominal rope diameter and the overall length of serving shall extend no further than 1 x rope diameter from the rope end. ANNEALED WIRE ROPE ENDS: Annealed ends must not be swaged inside the ferrule and annealed ends are recommended not to be longer than,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 wire ropes. Served rope end to prevent unlay approx.,5xd Annealed rope end Annealed ends are not to be cooled in water due to hardening risk of the wires. TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB.

26 TURNBACK FERRULES T ferrule TKH ferrule 3.1 T AND TKH FERRULES EUROPEAN STANDARD SYSTEM EN 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 The ferrule system is specified in Appendix 1. The ferrules are extruded seamlessly over mandrel and the aluminium alloy is EN AW-551A according to EN There is a conical ferrule called TK which is similar to the TKH but without the inspection hole. The TK ferrule does not comply with the EN standard. If used in any application the selection table is the same as for TKH. Special care has to be taken when using the TK ferrule due to lack of inspection hole. 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 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 swaged ferrule to the inner bearing point of the soft eye must be at least 15 x the wire rope diameter (D), as per the figure. The width of the eye without load shall be approximately half its length. When using a pin or a hook, the minimum eye size should be verified with the formulas below. h min. = 3 x pin diameter h min. = 3 x hook width Note! Eye size (h) must always be at least 15 x D Pin diameter Dimensions for eye and pin D D= Nominal rope diameter Min 15xD TO BE NOTED h 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 196 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).

32 TURNBACK FERRULES T-LOC (steel reinforcement) T ferrule (aluminium) T-LOC before swaging Patent pending: Splitting ing risk on 216 grade wire rope without T-LOC 3.2 T-LOC (STEEL REINFORCEMENT) TALURIT SYSTEM Application no. PCT/SE21/142 Reinforced aluminium termination. T-LOC after swaging GENERAL DESCRIPTION T-LOC is produced from carbon steel and designed for rotation resistant wire rope of grade 216 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 The tested constructions are 34(W) x K7 and 39(W) x K7-WSC, fill factor: APPLICATIONS When using high tensile wire rope of grade 216, 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 391 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. 1 D Simulated point TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB.

40 TURNBACK FERRULES TS ferrule Swaged TS ferrule 3.4 TS FERRULE 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 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 177. KL 4 TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB. All unauthorised use is prohibited. 218, Talurit AB

55 TALURIT TM 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,5xd after swaging. To achieve the correct protrusion several attempts might be 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 ferrule should be at least 1,5 x D (D= the nominal diameter of the wire rope) before swaging. When using a thimble without 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 on large wire rope diameters (above 6 mm). 1,5xD before swaging Thimble with simulated point 1,5xD before swaging Thimble with point 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: If a thimble is not used, the distance from the swaged ferrule to the inner bearing point of the soft eye must be at least 15 x the wire rope diameter (D), as per the figure. The width of the eye without load shall be approximately half its length. When using a pin or a hook, the minimum eye size should be verified with the formulas next to the picture. FIXING THE WIRE ROPE END IN THE FERRULE: If the end of the wire rope is fixed in the ferrule before swaging 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 ferrule. See figure. h min. = 3 x pin diameter h min. = 3 x hook width Note! Eye size (h) must always be at least 15 x D Pin diameter Correct Min 15xD h Dimensions for eye and pin D D= Nominal rope diameter Wrong TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB.

56 TALURIT TM 4.3 SWAGING THE TURNBACK FERRULES PERSONAL SAFETY GEAR Always wear protectional safety gear such as gloves, glasses and shoes. 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 markings for T ferrules. Before swaging the dies should be carefully cleaned and the bore of the dies should be lubricated. This will aid material flow and lengthen die life. 1/2 D POSITIONING OF THE FERRULE IN THE DIES BEFORE SWAGING: The figures to the right show how the ferrule should be positioned before swaging when using swage dies with rounding or taper. In straight cylindrical dies the ferrule is placed in the middle of the cylindrical bore. ( with one-sided rounding) Place the ferrule about half a wire rope diameter away from the die rounding. (Conical die) Place the ferrule centered in the straight cylindrical section of the die. See next page for more info (Conical die) Place the ferrule with the short wire rope end downwards and make sure the tap is in the inspection hole. TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB.

57 TALURIT TM 4.3 SWAGING THE TURNBACK FERRULES PERSONAL SAFETY GEAR Always wear protectional safety gear such as gloves, glasses and shoes. HOW TO COMPLETE A SWAGING: 1. Make sure the dies are set up correctly and aligned. Align upper and lower die. 2. Lubricate the bore of the dies. Lubricate the bore of the dies 3. Swage the ferrule, holding the wire rope with your two hands in a safe distance from dies, one at each side of the dies. Use both hands when swaging! The closing dies imply a risk of crushing! 4. The major axis of the oval ferrule cross-section must align with the direction of swaging. Use the regulating valve on the swager to find the correct pressure in addition with an oil drop test (see number 5). correct Align the ferrule wrong Align the ferrule Regulating valve TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB.

58 TALURIT TM 4.3 SWAGING THE TURNBACK FERRULES 5. On completion of the swaging operation the dies shall meet and the swaging must stop! Note! Talurit turnback ferrules are made for one swaging only. Do not turn and swage again! The upper and lower die shall meet, just slightly. 6. To ensure that the surfaces on the upper die and the lower die in fact meet each other there is a simple solution, we call it The oil drop test : Place an oil drop on the supporting edge of the lower die. Use the regulating valve to close the dies. When the oil drop is pressed out of the closing dies, the accurate pressure is achieved and must not be increased! Place an oil drop on the lower die When oil is pressed out, the correct pressure is achieved! Do not overload the dies! Only swage the ferrule in one direction. Never turn the ferrule! If the dies are overloaded they will be severely damaged 7. Fins or flash material shall be removed by a grinding method without damaging or reducing the round diameter of the ferrule. Flash material! Any flash material shall not be swaged back into the ferrule. Flash material TALURIT is a trademark owned by Talurit AB. All unauthorised use is prohibited. 218, Talurit AB 58

59 TALURIT TM 4.4 MULTI STAGE SWAGING TURNBACK FERRULES WITH SHORT DIES All swagers have a capacity limitation for how large ferrules they can swage in one stage. By using the multi stage technique, it is possible to extend this range of ferrules to larger sizes. The principle is to swage the back and front part of the ferrule in stages in order to close the dies completely. Back Front This method requires approximately half the pressure listed in the tables of Ferrule Securing Instruction. Note! Use the pressure regulating valve to find the correct pressure! Stage 1 LUBRICATE METHOD - SHORT DIES The procedure employing the short type dies involves moving the ferrule with the die remaining static in its fixed position see figures to the right. The pressure must be decreased to almost half the necessary pressure for full-length swaging. D/2 D/2 Ferrule Stage 1 Lubricate the dies! Positioned in the centre of the dies, start swaging the back part of the ferrule nearest to the sling eye (symbolized with green colour). Use the regulating valve to find the correct pressure.

METHOD - LONG DIES The procedure employing the short type dies involves moving the ferrule with the die remaining static in its fixed position see figures to the right. The pressure must be decreased to almost half the necessary pressure for full-length swaging. D/2 Stage 1 D/2 LUBRICATE Ferrule Stage 1 The Long dies are installed at the centre line of the piston. Assemble the rope and ferrule and position in the centre line of the piston. Start the swaging as per standard procedure utilizing full pressure if needed. The swaging is completed if the dies meet (steps 2 & 3 are not required). If the dies do not meet, then proceed to steps 2 & 3 detailed below. Front view Stage 2 Side view Centre line of piston LUBRICATE Stage 2 Re-position the dies to their second fixing hole. Before starting to swage ensure the pressure regulating valve is reduced to approx. half of the maximum. pressure. The multi stage swaging is performed on half the length of the ferrule. Care must be taken to ensure the entire swaging operation is carried out over the centre line of the piston. IMPORTANT! The pressure must be reduced for this and the following operation to ensure no damage is done to the dies. Front view Side view Ferrule Move the long dies so half the length will be in centre line of piston Stage 3 The multi stage swaging is now completed by swaging the remaining half of the ferrule. The dies remain in the same position as in step 2 but the ferrule is moved in the direction of the arrow. Again, care must be taken to ensure the swaging takes place over the centre line of the piston. NOTE! To ensure that the ferrule is correctly swaged horizontally we suggest the flash is used as a guide. The flash can be broken off and the ferrule ground or filed to produce a smooth finish.

65 TALURIT TM 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 ferrule or the rope. 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 applicable length limits specified in the tables for ferrules. Each swaged ferrule after the set-up shall be checked for diameter to verify that it is within the diameter limits. SWAGING WITH A THIMBLE 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 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 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. Correct! The wire rope is alligned and the ferrule is round. Wrong! The top and the bottom half of the ferrule are displaced. Always check the diameter after swaging Min. 1xD after swaging Thimble with point Min. 1xD after swaging Wrong! The ferrule has cracked during swaging CHECK THE SIZE OF THE DEAD END Make sure the dead end of the wire rope protrudes from the ferrule after swaging. Our recommendation is less than,5 x D (the diameter of the wire rope), to exceed this can cause injury. In case of conical ferrule make sure the dead end is visible in the inspection hole.

78 TALURIT 6.2 ASSEMBLY OF FLEMISH EYE SLEEVES GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORMING FLEMISH EYES General instructions for making Flemish Eyes may vary depending on the wire rope manufacturer. For ropes with an independent wire rope core (IWRC) separate the strands into two groups one with the core and three strands, the other with three strands only. The starting point of separating the strands will determine the length of the strand ends at the throat of the splice. If the strand ends are shorter than desired, re-lay the strands and start one strand to the left. To shorten the strand ends, move one strand to the right Select the correct sleeve and slip it on the wire rope. IMPORTANT: Check the wire rope size, select the correct size of sleeves and dies. 2. Divide the rope strands into two groups and un-lay the strands seven full lays, not counting the cut lay. Place the first group with the core on the right as you face the Y formed by the two legs. Seven lays of rope give maximum efficiency; there is no advantage in using more. 3 Note! If you are using a wire rope with fibre core, we recommend that the core is cut after re-laying and removed before splicing. 3. Cross the second group of 3 strands over the first group of 3 strands + the core. Then bring the 3 strand + core group over the 3 strand group and down into the eye formed until their strands conform to their natural configuration. Note! Tests indicate reduced efficiency when using a 4/2 grouping of the strands as compared to a 3/3 grouping Continue to re-lay or rewind the 3-strand group around the core group with all strands in their natural spirals.

79 TALURIT 6.2 ASSEMBLY OF FLEMISH EYE SLEEVES 5. Position the strand ends and core ends evenly around the throat of the splice Drive the sleeve over the strand ends until they bottom in the sleeve. Care must be taken to ensure the strands are not displaced and check that the strand ends are evenly distributed around the intact wire rope within the sleeve. 7. The peripheral length of a soft eye in a sling shall be at least four times the rope lay length. The peripheral length of a soft eye in a crane rope shall be at least six times the rope lay length Select the correct dies and swage according to the instructions on the following pages.
