Questions about this item
How do I swage the 5/16 in rope onto the 9/16 in outside diameter stud?
Use a swaging tool matched to the 9/16 in sleeve, insert the rope fully, and compress evenly — the step often missed is verifying full rope insertion before the final press.
When should the stainless steel stud be replaced due to wear?
Replace if the 11/16 in shank shows elongation, the 1/2-20 RH threads are damaged, or the 9/16 in swaged section cracks — inspect before each lift.
What load limit appears first during sustained lifting with this MIL-DTL-781 stud?
The 1/2-20 RH thread engagement and 9/16 in swaged joint reach their working limit before the stainless shank yields under continuous tension.
