Flemish Eye Steel Sleeve

No.606005

The H-Lift Flemish Eye Steel Sleeve (S-505) is a specialized swaging ferrule designed for creating high-efficiency "Flemish eye" terminations. Unlike standard swaging, this sleeve is used in conjunction with a specific splicing technique where the wire rope strands are unlaid and reformed, ensuring that the termination retains nearly 100% of the rope's breaking strength even if the sleeve is damaged. It is the industry standard for critical lifting slings and heavy-duty rigging applications.

  • Designed for Flemish Eye splices to maximize termination efficiency
  • Provides backup safety; the splice holds load even if the sleeve fails
  • Manufactured from special low-carbon steel for ductility and toughness
  • Offers superior resistance to cold flow and deformation under load
  • Available in a massive range of sizes (1/4" to 6") for extreme lifting capacity

Technical Data

The Flemish Eye Steel Sleeve (S-505 Type) is a heavy-duty swaging sleeve designed specifically for securing Flemish Eye (Molly Hogan) splices. Made from special low carbon steel, it offers excellent cold-forming ductility and, when properly swaged, creates a termination capable of achieving up to 100% of the wire rope's breaking strength.

⚡ Maximum Efficiency

Designed for Flemish Eye (Molly Hogan) splices. This splicing method provides mechanical security even without the sleeve, but with the sleeve, it can achieve 100% of the rope's breaking strength.

❄️ Low Temp Toughness

Manufactured from special Low Carbon Steel. This material offers excellent ductility, allowing for cold swaging without cracking, even in low-temperature environments.

🛡️ Extreme Durability

Superior resistance to abrasion and impact compared to aluminum sleeves. Ideal for rough environments like steel mills, foundries, and mining.

📏 Massive Range

Available in a wide range of imperial sizes from 1/4" up to 6". Suitable for the largest industrial lifting slings and crane cables.

Q: What is a Flemish Eye Steel Sleeve used for? A: It is used to secure a "Flemish Eye" splice. The rope strands are unlaid and re-laid to form the eye before the steel sleeve is swaged over it, creating the strongest possible termination for lifting slings.
Q: Can I use aluminum dies for steel sleeves? A: No. Steel sleeves require significantly higher swaging pressure than aluminum. You must use specialized steel dies and a high-capacity hydraulic press.
⚠️ Crucial Safety Warning: DO NOT use standard aluminum dies to swage steel sleeves. You must use specialized steel dies and appropriate hydraulic pressure to ensure a safe termination.
