FAQ
How do I select the correct size for my wire rope? Choose the protective cover size that matches your wire rope diameter: 3mm cover for 3mm wire rope, 4mm for 4mm, and 5mm for 5mm. The cover is designed to fit standard wire rope terminals (thimbles, ferrules, swaged ends) for each respective diameter. If your terminal fitting is oversized, measure the terminal width to ensure compatibility.
Will the SS316 cover fit over crimped/ferrule terminals? Yes, the SS316 Wire Rope Terminal Cover is designed to accommodate standard ferrule and crimped terminals within each size range. The flexible yet resilient stainless steel construction allows for slight variations in terminal dimensions while maintaining secure coverage.
How to prevent corrosion under the protective cover? Ensure the terminal and wire rope end are clean and dry before installing the cover. While the SS316 cover provides excellent external protection, trapped moisture underneath can cause corrosion. For best results in marine environments, apply a marine-grade corrosion inhibitor to the terminal before covering, and periodically remove the cover for inspection and cleaning.
