Discover wire ropes

Discover why assembled TechnoCables are often a simple solution for many mechanical applications and offer you great value for money. New and innovative applications are discovered on a daily basis offering opportunities for you to profit from TechnoCables. Increasingly, engineers and designers use the benefits offered by ropes and strands to achieve flexible and safe solutions for pulling, driving, carrying, moving and locating applications.

Design of strands and wire ropes

The manufacturing process: Strands are manufactured by twisting together single wires to form the basis for manufacturing wire rope. Depending on the application, strands with 7 to 37 wires are twisted to produce a rope. The more wires used, the more flexible the rope, thus increasing bending performance.
