AC 43.13-1B 9/8/98 terminal bolted to a clevis terminal. (See fig ure 7-12(a).) However, this type of splice can only be used in free lengths of cable which do not pass over pulleys or through fair-leads. FIGURE 7-12. Typical cable splices. (3) Swaged ball terminals. On some aircraft cables, swaged ball terminals are used for attaching cables to quadrants and special connections where space is limited. Single shank terminals are generally used at the cable ends, and double shank fittings may be used at either the end or in the center of the cable. Dies are supplied with the swaging machines for attaching these terminals to cables by the following method. (a) The steel balls and shanks have a hole through the center, and are slipped over the cable and positioned in the desired loca tion. (b) Perform the swaging operation in accordance with the instructions furnished by the manufacturer of the swaging equipment. (c) Check the swaged fitting with a “go no-go” gauge to see that the fitting is properly compressed, and inspect the physical condition of the finished terminal. (See fig ure 7-13.) FIGURE 7-13. Typical terminal gauge. (4) Cable slippage in terminal. Ensure that the cable is properly inserted in the termi nal after the swaging operation is completed. Instances have been noted wherein only 1/4 inch of the cable was swaged in the termi nal. Observance of the following precautions should minimize this possibility. (a) Measure the length of the termi nal end of the fitting to determine the proper length of cable to be inserted into the barrel of the fitting. (b) Lay off this length at the end of the cable and mark with masking tape. Since the tape will not slip, it will provide a positive marking during the swaging process. (c) After swaging, check the tape marker to make certain that the cable did not slip during the swaging operation. (d) Remove the tape and paint the junction of the swaged fitting and cable with red tape. (e) At all subsequent service inspec tions of the swaged fitting, check for a gap in the painted section to see if cable slippage has occurred. b. Nicopress Process. A patented process using copper sleeves may be used up to the full rated strength of the cable when the cable is looped around a thimble. This process may also be used in place of the five-tuck splice on Page 7-32 Par 7-148PDF Image | AFS-640
