Wire rope with cast ends refers to steel cables whose ends are permanently sealed or shaped by injecting molten zinc (or Zamak alloy) into a custom mold. This die-casting process creates a solid, mechanically bonded terminal. Unlike swaged or crimp fittings, die-cast cable ends feature full strand penetration and uniform bonding.
The die-casting process supports fully customizable cable end fittings—eyelets, ball ends, threaded studs, fork ends, and bespoke shapes—tailored to project needs with tight dimensional tolerance. Available in zinc alloy or more commonly aluminum die-cast heads (a lighter, cost-effective option), these terminals offer superior pull-out resistance and long-term durability.
Mechanical integration — end fitting becomes part of the rope structure
Surface-level safety — no sharp edges, secure under vibration
High strength retention — frequently matching the rope’s breaking load
Aesthetic finish — smooth die-cast surface, ideal for visible installations
Customizable design — choose zinc or aluminum alloy with a variety of shapes
Control and pull cables in automotive, bicycle, and machinery applications
Lighting and suspension systems, including aircraft cable for light fixtures—compact and reliable
decorative suspensions, where visible brute fittings need clean aesthetics
