What is a swaged on fitting?

Swaging is the term used for attaching fittings to the cable. Swaging is the term used for attaching fittings to the cable.

What is a swage coupling?

Swage Aluminum Bus Couplers are designed to connect two bus pipes and carry the full current of the bus pipe using Swage Technology. AFL offers a Swage bus to bus splice, Swage bus to bus long splice, Swage bus reducer splice, Swage bus elbow and Swage expansion coupler. These accessories vary from 230-500kV.

Are swaged fittings reusable?

Permanent fittings, such as crimped or swaged fittings, are squeezed onto the hose at assembly. As the name implies, these are only for onetime use, and must be discarded when the hose assembly fails. However, these fittings generally cost less than reusable fittings, and require less time to make a hose assembly.

What’s the difference between swaging and crimping?

“In swaging, a machine pushes a fitting and ferrule through a fixed split die bed to reduce the OD of the ferrule, compressing the hose into the stem serrations, while a crimping machine has any number of segment dies that close around the ferrule or sleeve and reducing it to a predetermined OD.

How far is tubing inserted into a swaged joint?

Place the Tubing in the Flaring Tool The end of the tube should extend about 1/8 inch (about the height of a nickel) from the flaring tool.

What does pre swaged mean?

Pre-swaging a fitting(s) onto a tube solves three problems: First, it allows users to pre-install the fittings at a sub assembly level. By doing so, it gives the operator a chance to inspect the quality of the crimped assembly after the tubular assembly is removed from the pre-swaging device.

What does swaging stand for?

Swaging (/ˈsweɪdʒɪŋ/) is a forging process in which the dimensions of an item are altered using dies into which the item is forced. Swaging is usually a cold working process, but also may be hot worked. The term swage may apply to the process (verb) or to a die or tool (noun) used in that process.

What is the difference between reusable type fitting and permanent type?

Permanent or crimped hydraulic fittings are widely used in the fluid power industry because they are easier and quicker to attach than reusable fittings. Crimped fittings are also more reliable. Reusable fittings typically cost more than crimped fittings and are more time consuming during the assembly process.

What is crimp fitting?

Crimp hydraulic hose fittings attach to the ends of hydraulic hoses to create custom hydraulic hose assemblies. Also called crimpable hydraulic hose fittings, they have a crimped end that attaches to the hydraulic hose and a threaded end that attaches to equipment, pipe, or other hoses.

How strong is swaging?

Termination Efficiency When swaged properly, the strength of this termination is of 90% of the breaking strength of the cable.

What is the difference between a swaged and a flared end tube ends?

The big difference is that flaring is shallower and a different shape. It creates a funnel at the end of the tube. Swaging on the other hand is deeper and you can expand the diameter further along the tube to create a flute shape.
