When it comes to swaging machines, there are so many options to choose from it can become overwhelming. However, depending on your specific application needs and machine room available you can narrow down your choices.

Continue reading to learn about which of these three swaging machines are right for you!
#1-P Pneumatic Swager:
The #1-P swager is used for eye, lap, and stop sleeve splicing of cables up to 3/16” in diameter. The swager has an over center leverage, a unique feature that provides a powerful snap action to the final thrust of the jaws. The over center leverage design allows for a clean and tight compression every time. The machine has a foot switch which allows you to be able to keep your hands free and quickly disconnect your air supply. #1-P weights 27.5 lbs and is made in the USA. You can download a copy of the operator’s manual on our website here.
#5-H Hydraulic:
This hydraulic machine combines 25 tons of strength alongside an independent hydraulic power supply. The #5-H swager provides 10,000 PSI and swages 3/64” to ½” Locoloc® aluminum and copper oval and stop sleeves with ease. The swaging machine allows for rapid swaging and is ideal for large projects. You can download a copy of the operator’s manual on our website here.
M1-Type I:
The M1 is a portable swaging machine, allowing you to swage military specification type terminals onto both galvanized and stainless steel cables. The cable sizes the machine supports are from 1/16” diameter up to 3/16”. Another important note about this machine is that it swages marine industrial terminals if the terminals have the bore and outside diameters as standard military specification terminals before swaging.
