Muncy manufactures the Upson-Walton swage socket product line. Our forgings use special steel with mechanical and physical properties that enhance swaging, durability, and strength. Upson-Walton closed swage sockets are sometimes used by themselves for specific pins, or in conjunction with our open swage sockets.
Upson-Walton Swage Sockets are Made in USA
Muncy manufactures its Upson-Walton swage sockets from material and forgings that we make in the USA. Muncy machines and performs its secondary processes in the United States. When you receive a swage socket with an “Upson-Walton” or “UW” on the forging, you can know with confidence it was made in USA.
Upson-Walton Sockets are easy to swage onto Wire Rope
Many of our customers tell us they like how our swage sockets swage onto wire rope. Our heat treat process is designed with the swaging process in mind, as the socket is subjected to extreme pressure between dies during swaging.
