Grommets and Grommet Press Frequently Asked Questions
Grommets and Grommet Press Frequently Asked Questions 1. How can I make my grommet press easier to operate? Remove all dies from the press. You should be able to rotate the press handle freely, with minimal resistance. If you do feel resistance, you should lubricate the press moving head with any type of sewing machine oil. Use grease syringe (#AS65) to lubricate the inside of the moving head. If you still feel resistance when turning the press handle, loosen the 2 bolts on the side about one quarter turn each. 2. What is the best way to prolong the life of my grommet cutters and setters? For cutters, use a cutting block topped with our chipboard, #GLC/P. It is recommended for thin, strong fabrics such as silk, and with our large cutters (GL10/C or larger). This provides a cushioned but stable surface for the cutting edge. Fabric will cut cleaner and dies will stay sharper. For setters, keep a thin layer of sewing machine oil on the working surface of the top setting die at all times, including the cone shaped area protruding from the die face and the groove on the root of the cone shape. Use silicone spray (#AS15) on the working surfaces of the top die every 20 grommets to reduce the setting force. Always keep the cutting and setting dies lubricated with sewing machine oil after your job is completed to prevent rust. 3. Do Rowley Company cutting and setting dies fit presses sold by other companies? Unfortunately, our cutting and setting dies are designed to mate with our grommet presses only, and do not fit any other presses.

Wire Rope Slings 55 Pride
55 Wire Rope Slings Wire Wire Rope Slings Like wire rope itself, wire rope slings are one of the most fundamental and versatile components of modern rigging. In addition to standard loops, wire rope slings are available with a wide variety of end terminations, each of which has been designed for a specific purpose and application. A basic wire rope sling is fabricated by cutting a length of wire rope, unlaying the rope a bit at each end, and weaving the wires back together in the form of a loop. Then, the rope tails are secured by tucking them into a swaging sleeve. Yarbrough Cable fabricates wire rope and cable slings using cable and wire rope diameters from 1/4 inch to 4-1/2 inch. All Yarbrough slings are available with a wide range of standard and custom end terminations and treatments in place of standard eyes. Yarbrough uses small diameter aircraft cable and EIPS or EEIPS IWRC wire rope to fabricate wire rope slings. Wire rope slings fabricated with fiber center wire rope are available on special request. Unless otherwise requested, Flemish eye mechanical splices are used on all Yarbrough wire rope slings. Hand tucked splices are available on special request. © 2015 Yarbrough Cable Service, LLC Pride. Integrity. Quality. 56 How to Measure and Specify Wire Rope Slings The standard eye/eye wire rope sling is illustrated below. Two dimensions are required to specify this wire rope sling: 1. Wire rope diameter. 2. Sling length. Wire Rope Slings Wire The length of a wire rope sling is measured from the bearing surface of one eye to the to bearing surface of the opposite eye, as shown in the following diagram.
