Swage Terminals - Technical Information

'Swaging' is a process of moving metal. It is important that swage terminals are swaged down to the correct diameter. Swage terminals must be applied with a recognised swaging machine, such as www.wireteknik.se.

The table below is for reference only. It is the sole responsibility of the person or company doing the swaging to ensure the correct dies are used and that the swage has been correctly applied.

We have a full rig shop facility, and use a Wireteknik machine. We are highly skilled at swaging with over 15 years of experience. We are able to take our mobile swageing machine to site within the UK. Contact us to discuss your swaging requirements.
