NB Buttons

Muncy NB Button Advantage

NB Buttons are similar wire rope terminations to Muncy’s BB, SB and CB. In fact, some wire rope sizes have the same dimensions among the Muncy button lines. A major difference of the SB Button and the NB Button is that a few of the less common sizes (7/32”, 5/16”) have the same after swage outside diameter as similar-sized common sizes (so you don’t need as many dies) and a few difference in some buttons’ over-all lengths.

Muncy Buttons Stops = Made In America

Muncy uses domestic steel from domestic steel mills for its button stops. Better steel means better and more consistent steel properties for swaging. We manufacture these steel ferrules in our facilities in the USA.

All Muncy Machine and Tool™ fittings are machined from carbon steel specially selected for swaging. Aluminum and stainless steel available upon request.

SB Buttons

Muncy Uses Premium Steel for its SB Buttons

Muncy specifies material for its buttons stops that is conducive to better swageability and strength. As such, Muncy’s wire rope buttons are time testing, having made for over 50 years. With better swageability comes better die life: less wear on swaging dies.

Muncy Steel Button Ferrule Applications

Carbon Steel Buttons seem to have an eclectic array of product uses, from picking up pipe (with a Muncy Tea Cup) to on a roll-off truck (with a Muncy Roll-off Hook). Some buttons are swaged on cable every few inches for conveyor applications and others used on the end of the rope to be placed inside a drum.

BB Buttons

Muncy’s Newco FS and BB Steel Buttons Prior to Newco joining Muncy, Muncy’s BB Buttons and Newco’s FS Buttons had essentially the same dimensions. Muncy and Newco both used proprietary grades of steel specially for swaging. Recently, Muncy and Newco’s BB and FS Buttons have been combined into the BB Buttons, so as to not have duplicative part numbers for the same product.

Wire Rope Terminations with Button Ferrules

BB Buttons are a common wire rope end termination. We have made these button stops for decades, servicing the construction, food, farm, trash, marine, industries, to name a few. Often these buttons are swaged onto the end or wire rope or cable and placed on the inside of a drum of a winch line.
