| 20120030917 | Axial Swage Tool - A swage tool for swaging axially swaged fittings includes a housing having an inner surface and a first yoke. A ram includes a recessed portion having a threaded inner surface portion. A piston includes a second yoke. A piston rod includes a spring holder and a threaded portion screwed into the threaded inner surface portion of the ram. A spring is connected to the spring holder. Carbon fiber bearings are provided on the ram and on an outer surface portion of the piston rod in axial slidable engagement with the inner surface of the housing. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20110039434 | FULL TENSION SWAGED CONNECTOR - An improved full tension connector for electrical conductors has a substantially cylindrical outer surface and a stepped series of substantially cylindrical inner surfaces with progressively smaller inside diameters. The design of the connector allows for improved control of the compression of the cable inside the fitting. A series of swages, progressing successively from a light compression to a heavier compression, ensures that the connector will sustain the required tensile load. | 02-17-2011 |
