CLGR® offers a comprehensive range of ferrules, including DIN 3093 Aluminium Ferrules compliant with EN 13411 - 3, Copper Oval Wire Rope Ferrules for secure cable connections, and Wire Rope End Stop Ferrule Aluminium designed to act as reliable stopping mechanisms. These ferrules are crafted to meet diverse rigging needs, from industrial lifting and towing operations to specialized applications, ensuring robust fastening of wire ropes with materials and designs that guarantee durability, safety, and adherence to international standards.
Ferrules deliver a host of key benefits for electrical connections. Unlike bare, stripped wires, they create a secure, airtight link that addresses the vulnerabilities of exposed conductors: when wire insulation is removed, individual strands often loosen, fray, or even get nicked during stripping. By encasing and reinforcing stranded wire bundles, ferrules eliminate stray strands and form a durable, safe connection that preserves long-term electrical performance.
Beyond structural reinforcement, ferrules shield connections from corrosion and vibration—two common culprits behind overheating, short circuits, and in severe cases, arc flashes. They also simplify installation and maintain the wire end's shape and integrity during removal and reinsertion. This is especially valuable in scenarios like control panel or rail assembly work: wires often need to be repositioned if initially landed incorrectly, and a ferrule prevents the delicate strands from wearing or breaking during this process.
