McFarlane MS21260-S6LH Cable Swage End is a precision wire rope terminal designed for aircraft flight control cable assemblies requiring accurate tension adjustment and dependable mechanical performance. Manufactured to MS21260 military specifications, this short-shank, left-hand threaded terminal is swaged onto compatible aircraft control cable to form a secure and durable cable end for turnbuckle assemblies.

The swage end is installed with a matching turnbuckle barrel and opposite-hand terminal, allowing maintenance personnel to precisely adjust cable tension during flight control rigging. Proper cable tension is essential for maintaining accurate control surface movement, minimizing cable wear, and ensuring reliable aircraft handling.

Constructed from high-strength corrosion-resistant steel, the MS21260-S6LH is engineered to withstand continuous tensile loads, vibration, and cyclic operational stresses encountered in aviation environments. The left-hand 5/16-24 UNF thread and compatibility with 3/16-inch nominal aircraft control cable make it suitable for approved flight control and other cable-operated aircraft systems.

Routine maintenance should include inspection of the swaged connection, thread condition, corrosion, and proper turnbuckle safetying to maintain cable integrity and continued airworthiness.
