ALEXANDER-ROBERTS Aircraft-Type Swage Eye 3/8″ – AE-12

Description

ALEXANDER-ROBERTS Aircraft-Type Swage Eye 3/8″ – AE-12. is a 316 stainless steel machine-swage terminal for sailboat standing rigging, sized for 3/8″ wire and a 1/2″ clevis pin.

Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for strong corrosion resistance in marine service
• Sized specifically for 3/8″ (10 mm) standing-rigging wire
• Uses a 1/2″ clevis-pin diameter for the mating rigging connection
• Narrow aircraft-type eye profile provides a more compact head than the corresponding marine-eye pattern
• Manufacturer-specified wire depth is 94 mm (3 11/16″) for professional machine swaging

Alexander-Roberts aircraft-type eyes use a thinner, more compact eye geometry than the company’s marine-eye pattern for the same wire diameter. They are intended to be machine swaged onto wire rope; this is not a hand-crimp fitting. Because standing rigging is safety-critical, wire construction, pin diameter and mating hardware should be confirmed by a qualified rigger before installation. The clevis pin is sold separately.
