EYE ENDS

Eye ends are used to create attachment points at the end of a wire rope or aircraft cable assembly. They allow the cable to connect with hardware such as pins, hooks, shackles, clevises, brackets, and mounting points. Eye ends are commonly used in custom wire rope assemblies, aircraft cable assemblies, marine applications, industrial cable systems, and OEM equipment.

Lexco Cable offers several eye end fitting options, including stamped eyelets, marine eyes, MS20668 eye ends, strap eyes, ring eyes, pin eye terminals, closed swage sockets, closed strap clevises, and light duty ring terminals. The right option depends on the cable size, connection style, load requirements, specification needs, and application environment.

Choosing the right wire rope eye end depends on the cable diameter, wire rope or aircraft cable construction, fitting style, material, attachment hardware, load requirements, and application. Some eye ends are better suited for light-duty connections, while others are designed for commercial, military specification, marine, or heavy-duty cable assemblies.

Yes. Eye ends can be used with aircraft cable assemblies when the design requires a secure attachment point at the cable end. Options such as stamped eyelets, MS20668 eye ends, strap eyes, and swage sockets may be selected based on cable diameter, load requirements, material, and specification requirements.

When requesting a quote, provide the cable diameter, wire rope or aircraft cable construction, eye end style, material, required assembly length, load requirements, specification requirements, and application environment. If available, include drawings, photos, part numbers, or military/commercial specifications so Lexco can recommend the right eye end fitting or custom cable assembly.
