Aluminum Round Ferrule
An aluminum round ferrule is a lightweight metal sleeve used to secure wire rope ends, act as a cable stop, or join rods together. It is applied by sliding it onto the cable or rod and compressing it with a crimping tool or hydraulic press.
Key Features
Material: Soft aluminum alloy (such as EN AW 5051A) that resists rust and adds little weight.
Sizes: Available for cable diameters from 1mm (1/16 in) up to 60mm (larger industrial sizes), matching common wire rope sizes.
Function: Maintains the natural bend radius of the rope to prevent sharp kinks and secure strong holding tension.
Common Uses
Wire Rope Stops: Acts as an end block or stop point on galvanized or bright steel cables.
Loop Creation: Forms secure eyes or loops when properly compressed.
Tubing Connectors: Links or caps rods and poles in lightweight framework projects.
