Pelican Hook with a Swage Screw Terminal.
A pelican hook with a swage screw terminal (also commonly called a swage stud or swage end) is a specialized marine rigging fastener designed to create a quick-release gate or connection point in wire rope lifelines, guard rails, and cable railings. The assembly combines an asymmetrical, hinged "pelican beak" hook that can open under load with a threaded terminal sleeve that permanently attaches to the end of a steel cable.
Key Components & Design
Pelican Hook Body: Features a hinged link secured by a sliding ring or quick-release plunger. The long "bill" shape provides a mechanical advantage, making it easy to pull tightly closed against high lifeline tension.Swage Screw Terminal (Stud): A hollow, elongated tube with a threaded exterior end (typically UNF or metric right-hand threads). The hollow end is slipped over bare wire rope and compressed firmly onto the wire.
Material: Almost exclusively manufactured from Grade 316 Stainless Steel (marine grade) to withstand harsh saltwater environments, prevent rusting, and maximize structural longevity.
