SWAGING TOOLS USE AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR 82632HAND AND S2632BENCH Our line of New Generation swaging tools have been designed to compress Aluminum and Copper Oval and stop sleeves onto mechanical cables in the sizes of 116 332 18 532 and 316 A description of the two models is as follows MODEL DESCRIPTION S2632H Hand held tool The length of the handles assures ease of operation and the unique box joint at the pivot point of the swaging jaw keeps the swaging surfaces in line with each other S2632B Bench mounted tool This tool utilizes the same swaging head as the hand model above The toggle action assures ease of operation leaving one hand free to manipulate the cable CABLE SLEEVE TOOLGAUGE CAVITY SELECTION CHART Aluminium Copper Oval Sleeves Aluminium Copper Stop Sleeves

pressure adjustment Screw B is a locking screw and must be loosened before Screw A can be turned To adjust Turn Screw B to loosen Two or three turns will usually free the adjusting bar Turn Screw A clockwise to increase pressure A good starting point for checking the proper pressure on the tool is by measuring the handle spacing 14 14the distance indicated from the outside bottom edges of the grips when the end of the tool at cavity 2 is touching but not closed not under Model S2632B Bench Toolrelieve pressure on the jaws Loosen Locking Nut 1of an Allen Wrench in the hole on the Cam 23Raising the pin in the Cam 2pressure on the jaws A starting point for proper adjustment is to measure the height of the handle tip from the bench top When the end of the jaws at cavity 2 are touching but the handle is not closed under tension the measurement should be 8 58 to 9 18 After proper cam position is found tighten Screw 32position Then tighten Lock Nut 1 HANDLES ARE UNDER TENSION GRIP FIRMLY WHEN OPENING NOTE For long life and ease of operation these swaging tools must be kept well lubricated maintained and in proper adjustment For lubricating purposes a light motor oil is satisfactory WARNING The holding power of sleeves is influenced by the diameter of the wire rope as well as construction Exact strength tests should always be performed on a sample of the wire rope to be used when exact holding power must be determined As in all wire rope applications proper design factor must be employed design factor is the ratio of strength of assembly to the applied load MAKING A COMPRESSION SLEEVE SPLICE Compression Sleeves are usually used in three types of splices Loop Lap or Stop Sleeve see belowwish to splice and the type of splice you wish to make select the Oval or Stop Sleeves of the same nominal size Then by referring to the Chart on page 1note which tool tool groovegauge cavity you should use and the number of crimps which should be taken Proceed as follows LOOPS Insert cable through the sleeve and rethread back to form loop to size desired It is usually easier to form a larger loop at first and then to pull back on the longer end of the cable until the proper loop size is obtained Leave about 18 of cable extending outside of the sleeve after threading and make sure this does not slip back into the sleeve when 223pulling up224 Using the correct groove take the required number of crimps along the sleeve Do not start on the very edge of the sleeve Sleeve ends should project beyond the tool jaws slightly After each crimp rotate the sleeve 180260 This will help prevent the sleeve from becoming banana shaped Gauge the sleeve after compression If the gauge does not slip freely onto the crimp portion the tool should be adjusted See Adjustment Instructions LAP SPLICE After threading the two lengths of cable into the Oval Sleeve crimping instructions are basically the same as loops Note a minumum of two sleeves are recommended and proper tests should be made to determine actual strength of the splice Leave the usual 18 of cable protruding from the sleeve and allow a space of at least two cable diameters between the sleeves Gauge as usual STOP SLEEVE Thread cable through sleeve until a full 18 of cable is protruding from the stop Crimp the sleeve the recommended number of times in the groove indicated in the chart Stop Sleeves will not hold for the break strength of the cable Proof testing is recommended for specific applications Gauge as usual Aircraft Control Cables 1x 19 Non Flexible Cable One strand of 19 wires It has more metallic area than 7 x 7 or 7 x 19 cable which makes it the strongest but also the least flexible Generally used for bracing purposes Can be used for controls Made to MILC6940 galvanizedand MILC5693 stainless 7 x 7 Flexible Control Cable Seven Strands of seven wires each Used for control purposes were extreme flexibility is not required but were abrasion is a factor Made to MILW1511 stainless 7 x 19 Extra Flexible Control Cable Seven strands of 19 wires each Its greater metallic area makes it stronger than 7 x 7 cable Because of its fine wires the best service is obtained with 7 x 19 wire where abrasion is not too severe These same fine wires however make it the most flexible to meet severe bending Made to MILW1511 stainless Galvanised Control Cable Cable Dia
