Closed Swage Socket

  • Forged from special bar quality carbon steel, suitable for cold forming.
  • Swage Socket terminations have an efficiency rating of 100% based on the catalog strength of wire rope.
  • Hardness controlled by spheroidize annealing.
  • Stamp for identification after swaging without concern for fractures (as per directions in National Swaging Brochure).
  • Swage sockets incorporate a reduced machined area of the shank which is equivalent to the proper "After Swage" dimension. Before swaging, this provides for an obvious visual difference in the shank diameter. After swaging, a uniform shank diameter is created allowing for a QUIC CHECK and permanent visual inspection opportunity.
    • Designed to quickly determine whether the socket has been through the swaging operation and assist in field inspections, it does not eliminate the need to perform standard production inspections which include gauging for the proper "After Swage" dimensions or proof loading.
  • U.S. Patent 5,152,630 and foreign equivalents.

Crosby Cable Clip

  • Each base has a Product Identification Code (PIC) for material traceability, the name CROSBY or "CG", and a size forged into it.
  • Entire Clip-Galvanized to resist corrosive and rusting action
  • Sizes 1/8" through 2-1/2" have forged bases.
  • All Clips are individually bagged or tagged with proper application instructions and warning information.
  • Clip sizes up through 1-1/2" have rolled threads.
  • Crosby products meet or exceed all the requirements of ASME B30.26 including identification, ductility, design factor, proof load and temperature requirements.  Importantly, Crosby products meet other critical performance requirements including fatigue life, impact properties and material traceability, not addressed by ASME B20.26. 
  • Look for the Red-U Bolt, your assurance of Genuine Crosby Clips.

Turnbuckles

  • Turnbuckle assembly combinations include: Eye and Eye, Hook and Hook, Hook and Eye, Jaw and Jaw, Jaw and Eye.
  • End fittings are Quenched and Tempered, bodies heat treated by normalizing.
  • Crosbys Quenched and Tempered end fittings and normalized bodies have enhanced impact properties for greater toughness at all temperatures.
  • Hot Dip galvanized.
  • Hooks are forged with a greater cross sectional area that results in a stronger hook with better fatigue properties.
  • Modified UNJ thread on end fittings for improved fatigue properties. Body has UNC threads.
  • Turnbuckle eyes are forged elongated, by design, to maximize easy attachment in system and minimize stress in the eye. For turnbuckle sizes 1/4" through 2-1/2 ", a shackle one size smaller can be reeved through eye.
  • Forged jaw ends are fitted with bolts and nuts on sizes 1/4"  through 5/8", and pins and cotters on sizes 3/4" through 2-3/4".
  • TURNBUCKLES RECOMMENDED FOR STRAIGHT OR IN-LINE PULL ONLY.
  • Lock Nuts available for all sizes.
  • Typical hardness levels, Tensile Strengths and Ductility Properties are available for all sizes.
  • Turnbuckles can be furnished proof tested or magnaflux inspected with certificates if requested at time of order.
  • Crosby products meet or exceed all the requirements of ASME B30.26 including identification, ductility, design factor, proof load and temperature requirements.  Importantly, Crosby products meet other critical performance requirements including fatigue life, impact properties and material traceability, not addressed by ASME B30.26.
