Wire Rope Stops & Cable
Button Stops

Button stops create fixed stopping or bearing points on wire rope and aircraft cable assemblies. They can be installed at the cable end or farther along the cable to help control movement or engage another component.

Lexco offers aluminum, copper, zinc-plated copper, stainless steel, and carbon steel button stops. Material selection depends on cable construction, load, wear, corrosion exposure, and application requirements.

Button stops are one type of wire rope end stop. They are cylindrical fittings that can be swaged onto the cable to create a stop, prevent fraying, or act as a bearing point. Other cable end stops may include ball ends, sleeves, plugs, or custom fittings depending on the design of the cable assembly.

Yes. Button stops can be swaged at an intermediate position when the assembly requires a fixed stopping or engagement point along the cable.

When requesting a quote, provide the cable diameter, wire rope or aircraft cable construction, button stop material, required stop location, quantity, load requirements, and application details. If available, include drawings, specifications, photos, or part numbers so Lexco can recommend the correct button stop or custom wire rope assembly.
