There are several different types of stainless steel wire rope terminations, including swaged fittings, hand-crimped fittings, mechanical fittings, and wire rope clips. Swaged fittings involve compressing the wire rope using a hydraulic press to create a permanent termination. Hand-crimped fittings involve manually crimping the wire rope using a crimping tool. Mechanical fittings use a combination of mechanical devices, such as screws or bolts, to secure the wire rope. Wire rope clips involve using a U-bolt and saddle to clamp the wire rope together.
