Swaged Conduit Fittings Vs. Shuttle Molded Conduit Fittings

Cable assemblies are indispensable components across a multitude of industries, comprising two essential elements: the cable, a tightly wound bundle of wires, and the conduit, a protective sleeve ensconcing the cable.

In many applications a conduit is vital for preserving the integrity of wire bundles from repeated push-pull and pull-pull cycle. The conduit is anchored within the assembly using end fittings. There are a number of processes available to affix end fittings to a conduit, however, this paper will focus on two pivotal processes: swaged and shuttle molded conduit fittings. The selection between these methodologies demands consideration of manufacturing processes, geometry, performance attributes, and material compositions.
