Pin, lashing, torsional and HTS terminals.
Many products, that are sold on the market, apply systems of friction / cone / plug, which require the use of metal fitting with a consequent increase of complexity and weight.
Armare suggests the simplest and most effective solution for the terminals of the cable, thanks to the direct encapsulation of technical fibers and the steel terminal, on which the resin covers are molded.
Armare has developed a complete range of terminals to meet different installation needs, both for pin or for lashing. High efficiency Torsional terminals are also available for use on furlers and drums. Lastly the new innovative H.T.S. (Hanger with Threaded Stud) terminals eliminate the need to use a toggle for connection with existing fitting such as turnbuckles.
All terminals are available in a wide range of sizes and with different breaking loads.
HTS Terminals
Innovative terminals by Armare Ropes, which eliminate the need to use a toggle for connection with the tensioner (male thread) allowing direct connection to a threaded terminal (female thread) without the use of toggles.
Innovative design fittings maintain low dimensions and weight, thanks to the use of very high strength stainless steel. The terminals are available in a wide range of threads and breaking / working loads, with the possibility of further increasing the breaking load through specific optional treatments.
In case of thread damage (male or female) it is possible to repair it preserving the cable and thus reducing the intervention costs. Finally, it is possible to interface the cable directly to the mast (captang system boomerang through bar spreaders)

Different terminals in comparison
- A) PIN terminal with fork and turnbuckle
- B) HTS inside thread terminal + telescopic turnbuckle
- C) HTS outside thread terminal + classic turnbuckle
The flexibility and customization of the solutions is a plus that distinguishes the Armare Ropes offer; the different terminals allows multiple configurations, which make it possible to satisfy the most varied needs.
In addition to the standard configurations, Armare Ropes technicians are available for the development of custom projects of all kinds, also to adapt to existing equipment during retrofit interventions.
Torsional terminals
The Torsional terminals are designed to be used in conjunction with no-torsion cables, typically attached by swivel to fore sail furler.
Its special construction, with a high-strength steel body inside the terminal, gives it extreme rigidity, hence the optimal transmission of the torque during operation, even in high load conditions.
To best withstand these high torque and tension, the cable is made of continuous winding, directly around the steel fitting which is then molded with a special protective resin that gives it an hermetic seal.
The “torsional” terminals are available in both LASH and PIN versions.
