Cable Fittings for Commercial Applications

The CMA standard line of cable fittings is available in many configurations, materials and finishes. Each series of fittings has been designed for use with specific cable diameters to offer the maximum holding strength possible. All stamped, forged or screw machine fittings are swaged or pressed onto the cable using matched metal dies in mechanical or hydraulic presses. Most cylindrical, spherical, and MS (military standard) fittings are applied to the cable using specialized rotary swaging and hydro-forming equipment.

CMA maintains a large inventory of specially designed and manufactured tooling and dies fabricated in our own tool room to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency for all swaged and pressed fittings. The selection of standard in-stock catalog fittings is the most cost-effective approach for most commercial and industrial applications.

Please refer to the Cable Fitting Description chart provided to assist you in the selection of the fittings best suited for your requirements. Each fitting series has been rated in terms of cost from the least to the most expensive, taking into account materials, assembly methods, and assembly labor. Also provided is our Cable Material Finish Specifications chart to help you determine the best finish for your application.

Custom Fittings

CMA's experience in the design, prototyping, testing and production of specialized and custom cable fittings has created an extensive list of unique fittings.  Custom fittings for special assembly requirements can be designed by our engineering department and prototyped by our fully equipped machine shop and tool room. Custom parts in small quantities are expensive, however short- and medium-run quantities of screw machine parts and stampings made from short-run tooling are cost-effective. CMA will quote your high-volume requirements for custom fittings and parts based on the most economical type of tooling, material and production process, ensuring competitive finished assembly costs.  Contact our sales department for further information.
