Aluminum Hourglass Sleeves, also known as aluminum hourglass sleeves, are key accessories for flexible rigging such as wire ropes and cables. Made of high-quality aluminum alloy, they are named after their hourglass-like appearance. This type of sleeve is mainly used to connect and fix the ends of wire ropes and to enhance their local strength. Through a specific cold or hot pressing process, the sleeve is tightly combined with the wire rope, effectively preventing the ends of the wire rope from loosening and wearing, and ensuring the reliability and safety of the rigging during use. In many fields such as industry, construction, and ships, it provides a stable and durable connection solution for operations involving rigging.

Unique structural design: The hourglass-shaped appearance is not only unique, but also has mechanical advantages. The wider parts at both ends can better disperse stress and prevent the wire rope from being damaged due to stress concentration at the connection part. The narrower part in the middle makes the combination of the casing and the wire rope tighter and enhances the overall connection strength.
High-quality material performance: The aluminum alloy material used has the characteristics of light weight and high strength. Compared with traditional steel, it reduces the overall weight while ensuring sufficient strength, which is convenient for installation and use. In addition, aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time in harsh environments such as humidity, acid and alkali without rust.
Good adaptability: It can be customized or selected according to the appropriate specifications of wire ropes of different diameters, and can achieve precise adaptation with the wire rope to ensure the stability of the connection. It is widely applicable to wire ropes of various types and specifications.
Easy installation: Whether it is cold pressing or hot pressing installation, the operation process is relatively simple, does not require complex equipment and professional skills, can effectively improve work efficiency and reduce installation costs.
Construction field: In the installation of curtain walls of high-rise buildings, it is used to fix and connect the steel wire ropes for hanging curtain wall panels; in the treatment of the ends of steel wire ropes for lifting equipment such as tower cranes and construction elevators, it ensures the safety of lifting operations.
Shipbuilding and marine engineering: In the mooring system of ships, the cables are connected to the bollards to withstand the tension when the ship is docked; the hoisting operations and anchoring systems of offshore platforms also use aluminum hourglass-shaped sleeves to ensure the reliability of rigging connections.
Industrial production: Material lifting in factories, such as using steel wire ropes to lift large equipment and parts, the ends of the steel wire ropes are reinforced through the sleeves to prevent damage to the steel wire ropes during lifting; in elevators, cableways and other lifting equipment, it also plays a key role in connection and protection.
Outdoor sports equipment: In outdoor sports such as rock climbing and mountaineering, it is used to make safety ropes, protective ropes and other equipment to ensure the personal safety of sports enthusiasts and prevent the ends of the ropes from being worn and broken.
Q1: How to choose the right specification?
Choose according to the maximum load of the actual operation. For example, if you are lifting a 10-ton load, you need to choose a shackle specification with a working load limit greater than 10 tons. At the same time, refer to the dimensions in the product parameters to ensure that it is compatible with the connected ropes, chains, etc. .
Q3: What is the operating temperature range?
The shackle is certified for use in an environment of - 40°C (-40°F) to 204°C (400°F). Exceeding this temperature range may affect the material performance and connection safety .
Q3: What precautions are there for installation and removal?
During installation, be sure to tighten the threaded pin in place to prevent loosening; during removal, avoid violent operation to damage the thread. Before and during use, regularly check for thread wear and cracks on the body.
Q3: Can relevant certifications be provided?
Some manufacturers can provide certification certificates for specified standards such as ABS, DNV, Lloyds, etc., which need to be requested when placing an order, and may incur additional costs .
