Gym Cable Bell End (Long)

Gym Cable bell end or nipple end swage fitting. This design is used as a secure end termination for gym cable wire ropes, often to prevent the cable from passing through a fixture or a weight plate within the stack. It differs from the shorter ball end fitting by having an extended cylindrical shank, designed to accommodate a stop ball if needed, or to provide a longer contact surface within a housing.

This fitting is hydraulically swaged onto the steel cable itself after any outer plastic coating has been stripped away, creating a permanent and very strong bond that can handle significant load without slippage. The steel construction provides greater strength retention compared to softer metals like aluminum ferrules. The primary benefit of this longer shank bell end is its ability to sit securely within specific machine housings, ensuring proper function and offering a robust, industrial-strength termination point vital for the safe operation of your fitness equipment.
