Mechanical splicing of wire rope is a method of joining two wire rope ends together by swaging/pressing a metal ferrule, sleeve or fitting over the ends. With mechanical splicing, there is no need for manual splicing, welding or soldering. The method of mechanical splicing was invented by Mr Gerhard Rohland, the founder of Talurit®, in the 1940s. Since then, we at Talurit Group have perfected this method and the products related to it.

Mechanical splicing preserves over 90% strength of the wire rope, it is easier to inspect for defects, and it is far more efficient and cost-effective.

Yes, mechanical splicing can be used in a wide range of applications, including critical and high-risk ones. Always consult with a qualified engineer or specialist to ensure proper selection and termination.

Mechanical splicing is a non-destructive method that preserves the integrity of the wire rope and over 90% of the minimum breaking load of the wire rope. Unlike knotting or hand splicing, which weaken the wire rope while only maintaining 70-80% of the MBL.

Measure the actual rope diameter using a caliper.

A swager is a tool or machine used to compress and secure fittings onto wire rope during the mechanical splicing process, ensuring a strong and reliable connection.

There are manual hand swagers, hydraulic swagers, and pneumatic swagers, each offering varying levels of force and precision for different wire rope sizes and fittings. The most common type of swager is the hydraulic one. We at Talurit® have hydraulic swagers ranging from 5 to 4200 tonnes in swaging capacity.

Ensure the die bore is regularly lubricated prior to pressing the ferrules. The swaging dies should be clean and mounted/aligned according to our instructions. Do not apply more pressure than required to close the dies, and remove excess material.

No, the die profiles and heat treatment is different.

Our 40T single pillar swager is the most suitable and economically priced. View the 40T swager product page here.

If your press/swager fails to reach maximum pressure, there is probably a malfunction in the high-pressure function. This could be due to worn-out O-rings in the valve house or potential oil leakage from the main ram, indicating a need for replacement of the cylinder seals. We recommend reaching out to us for further assistance and guidance.

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, follow the manufacturer's instructions, and ensure proper training and supervision when operating a swager to prevent accidents or injuries.

Wire rope end terminations are ferrules, fittings or connectors used to secure the ends of wire ropes, preventing unraveling and providing a means of attachment to other components or structures.

No, the die profiles and heat treatment are different between die sets for aluminum ferrules and carbon steel ferrules.

We offer a variety of cutting machines, including annealing machines, cold cutting machines, and chain cutters, available in both manual and automatic versions.

By using our annealing and twisting off machines type AV.

Generally, our automatic cutting machines achieve an accuracy within +/- 1%. However, utilizing the inbuilt calibration cycle significantly improves results, enhancing repeatability and consistency when comparing cut lengths.

Both our CC 50T and CC 40T are engineered for industrial and professional heavy-duty use. The CC 50T can cut chains up to Ø 26 mm in grade 100 (max hardness 48 HRC) and the CC 40T can cut chains up to Ø 22 in grade 8 (max hardness 44 HRC).

A coiling machine is a specialized piece of equipment used to wind wire ropes onto spools or drums in a controlled manner. These machines are designed to safely and efficiently manage the coiling process, ensuring that the wire ropes are neatly wound.

They are essential in manufacturing and processing facilities where large quantities of wire rope are produced or handled, helping to streamline operations and maintain the quality of the ropes during storage and transport.

Overall, coiling machines enhance productivity while reducing the risk of damage to the wire ropes, making them a vital tool in the wire rope industry.

An uncoiling machine, also known as an uncoiling unit, is equipment designed to unwind wire ropes from spools or drums in a controlled and efficient manner. This machine facilitates the seamless transfer of wire ropes for further processing, such as cutting, splicing, or assembly.

Uncoiling machines are often equipped with a brake, ensuring that the wire rope is unwound smoothly without any risk of damage. They can handle various wire rope sizes and materials, making them versatile tools in manufacturing and industrial settings.

By using an uncoiling machine, operations can improve productivity and maintain the integrity of the wire ropes, as the machine helps to manage the unwinding process safely and effectively. This equipment is essential for companies that require consistent and reliable handling of wire ropes during production or maintenance activities.

Yes, our wire rope handling machines are specifically designed for industrial use. They are built to withstand the rigorous demands of various industrial applications, ensuring durability and reliability.

Our coiling and uncoiling machines are engineered with robust materials and advanced technology to handle heavy loads and operate continuously in challenging environments. They also feature safety mechanisms and adjustable settings to accommodate different wire rope sizes and types, providing flexibility for various operational needs.

Whether used in manufacturing, construction, or other heavy-duty industries, our wire rope handling machines are optimized for efficiency and performance, making them a trusted choice for professionals seeking reliable equipment for their wire rope handling requirements.

The Talurit® MA 45 ADV has length conversion to show mm, cm, m, inch, and feet.

Yes! Each test result is saved as an individual PDF. And with an automatic version, it is also possible to interface with your computer network.

Our testing machines are designed primarily for testing wire rope slings but other items of lifting gear can also be accommodated by employing shackles etc. in the attachment.

Several swagers are suitable for swaging Gerro™ Combi ferrules, depending on the size and type of ferrule. For smaller applications, we offer a portable 5-tonne cross joint swager. For larger applications, we provide 130-tonne and 250-tonne swagers. Contact us to learn more about the best swager for your needs.

Typically, the excess material can be easily removed by hand. Any remaining sharp edges can be quickly smoothed out with manual grinding. However, with our innovative dies featuring rounded pocket ends, the need for manual grinding after swaging is significantly reduced.

Yes, one of our newest cutting machines, the LKA-30 GC, is specifically engineered for cutting combination wire ropes used in playground equipment.
