Wire rope cable assemblies are mechanical connection systems designed to link, support, or restrain components in industrial and structural applications. They consist of flexible steel wire rope combined with end fittings that allow for secure attachment to various equipment or structures.
Available in multiple configurations—such as loop-to-loop, threaded stud, hook, or eye terminations—these assemblies can be tailored to specific lengths, diameters, and load capacities. They are commonly constructed using galvanized or stainless steel, with optional coatings for enhanced durability.
Wire rope cable assemblies are widely used across industries like construction, transportation, manufacturing, and marine for applications such as load securing, safety tethering, suspension systems, and equipment control. They offer strong, reliable, and often detachable connections that withstand mechanical stress, making them a vital component in countless industrial systems.
| Design | Stranded steel wire bundles designed for flexibility, strength, and load-bearing applications. |
|---|---|
| Construction Type | Multiple wire strands twisted around a core (fiber or steel), with common configurations including 6×19, 7×7, or 7×19 for varying flexibility and durability. |
| Diameter | Ranges from 1mm to 50mm, tailored to specific load requirements and environmental conditions. |
| Number of Strands | Typically 6–8 outer strands, with inner core strands depending on application needs. |
| Core Material | Fiber core (FC) for flexibility or independent wire rope core (IWRC) for heavy-duty applications. |
| Material | High-tensile carbon steel, stainless steel (marine-grade for corrosion resistance), or galvanized steel for outdoor use. |
| Compatibility | Engineered to integrate with pulleys, winches, cranes, and other lifting/rigging hardware. |
| Applications | Industrial lifting, construction rigging, marine anchoring, zip lines, safety barriers, and automotive towing. |
| Durability | Resistant to abrasion, UV exposure, and harsh weather; rated for dynamic or static loads based on construction. |
| Customization | Adjustable diameter, length, lay direction (right/left), lubrication, and coating (PVC, nylon) for specialized needs |
| Mechanical Properties | Rated for specific breaking strength (e.g., 1,000–50,000 lbs), flexibility, and fatigue resistance depending on strand configuration and material. |
Wire rope cable assemblies are mechanical components used to transmit force, provide support, or maintain secure positioning in a wide range of industrial applications. These assemblies consist of wire rope combined with various end fittings, configured to meet specific load, movement, or environmental requirements. Below are the key aspects of wire rope cable assemblies:
Structure:
A typical wire rope cable assembly includes a steel cable—usually made from galvanized or stainless steel—terminated with end fittings such as loops, threaded studs, eyes, hooks, or swaged terminals. The combination ensures both mechanical strength and secure attachment in the intended application.
Compatibility:
Wire rope cable assemblies are highly versatile and can be designed to integrate seamlessly into mechanical systems, support structures, and control setups. They are often used in wire-to-frame, wire-to-surface, or wire-to-mechanical component connections.
Types:
Wire rope assemblies come in a variety of constructions such as 1×7, 7×7, 7×19, or coated/uncoated options. End configurations can be customized to include one or two terminals, loop-to-loop, loop-to-hook, or any combination based on the installation needs.
Applications:
These assemblies are widely used in industries such as aerospace, construction, logistics, machinery, marine, and architecture. Typical uses include safety lanyards, lifting and securing loads, motion control, cable railings, and equipment tethering.
Customization:
EDOM Electronics offers extensive customization for cable diameter, length, coating color, end fittings, and load capacity. This ensures the assemblies meet precise functional and environmental requirements.
Durability:
Wire rope assemblies are built to endure tension, weather exposure, and industrial handling. Stainless steel options provide excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor heavy-duty use.
Wire rope cable assemblies are essential in industrial design, offering a robust and flexible solution for force transmission and structural support. With the right design and construction, they serve as long-lasting components in complex mechanical systems.
