connecting rope boden cable
Cable assemblies for bowden cable

Bowden cables are used in robotics, automation and plant engineering, amongst other fields. They enable the reliable transmission of tensile and compressive forces as well as mechanical movements – even in spatially challenging installation situations.
Pre-assembled steel cables for bowden cables are used to connect and secure the bowden cable within components, whilst also ensuring the safe transmission of compressive and tensile forces as well as mechanical movements. The wire rope (often referred to as a strand) inside the bowden cable is flexible and can therefore be routed around tight or small radii.
Depending on the application, cable end fittings such as screw nipples, ring eyes or other end fittings are used, which are crimped or injection-moulded.

Rope for installation
Wire rope assemblies ready for installation

Ready-to-install assembled ropes are generally required for force absorption and linear force transmission. Examples include tension ropes or ropes for weight balancing in mechanical and plant engineering, drive and guide ropes in medical and conveyor technology, or as transmission ropes in pulley systems.

By selecting the appropriate rope material, rope construction and wire rope end fittings, we produce bespoke rope assemblies tailored to the specific requirements and installation conditions. End fittings such as balls, nipples, ring eyes or loops are crimped or injection-moulded onto fine ropes up to 8 mm in diameter.

Suspension rope with wire rope end
Rope assemblies for suspension

Wire ropes with end fittings are used to attach suspension elements, e.g. to the ceiling. The possibilities are many and varied. Steel cables are assembled with metal rope ends / end fittings to form eyelets or with ball head terminals for ceiling brackets or threaded bolts for screwing in.
In conjunction with wire rope holders, any object such as signs or lamps can be infinitely adjusted. We create ready-to-install suspension systems consisting of ceiling mounting, wire rope with end fittings and cable gripper that can be easily and quickly installed on site.

metal rope ends
Conductive cable with metal rope ends

Metal rope ends are also used in combination with our electrically conductive e-rope brand wire ropes. These fulfill both the mechanical functions of steel cables and the efficient transmission of electricity or data.
By swaging oder die-casting end fittings onto the wire rope enables our current-carrying ropes can be fixed with low contact resistance for an efficient electrical connection without impeding the flow of current.
The great advantage is that a power cable and a fastening rope are not required. This saves material, installation time and space and improves the aesthetics.

Ready to install rope assemblies - safe, flexible, versatile

Due to ever more compact and lighter applications, installation space is becoming ever smaller. The wide range of possible assemblies and application options for our pre-assembled ropes offer safe, flexible solutions. Even if you do not have standard applications, we can develop special rope end terminations to meet your exact requirements.

Advantages of the wire rope ends:

Seil Schlaufen
A ready-made rope with a soft eye on both sides is very flexible and can be easily adapted and used to existing applications by varying the bolt diameter and loop length.

Seil Kausche
The size of the soft eye with thimble is specified and can be aligned accordingly in the middle. The soft eye with thimble distributes the load on the wire rope over a larger area, thus reducing the surface pressure and thus the wear on the wire rope.

Seil Kabelschuh
With the eyelet, uniform fixing points are possible due to the given contour. This allows them to be permanently installed in existing applications.

seil kugel
Assembled ropes with balls can be used in even less space. Possible applications can be realized here that require linear force absorption and automatic centering of the rope.

Seil Gewinde
A thread has the great advantage that it can be adjusted. The length can vary depending on the thread type and thread size. The tolerance can be compensated accordingly between the built-in ropes. This can also tighten the rope.

Seil Stufennippel
The shank end stop is a good choice if you have an application with a predetermined bore.

In the area of development, CAD and construction, our technicians and engineers work out customized solutions for the respective application in dialogue with the customer. The high demands our customers place on the assembled TechnoCables are the benchmark for us. During development, prototypes are also produced for special requirements using innovative rapid prototyping. The initial samples are put through their paces by us. As soon as the product meets all requirements, series production begins.

Questions & Answers – Ready-made ropes

Customised wire ropes are ready-to-install wire rope assemblies fitted with defined end fittings, terminals or other wire rope connections. Depending on the application, the wire rope, diameter, material, length and end termination can be individually specified. At Carl Stahl Technocables, wire rope assemblies can be manufactured with pressed or moulded end fittings. Our strength lies in the development and manufacture of bespoke designs.

Yes. Wire ropes can be customised to suit the technical requirements of the application. Depending on the design, the wire rope construction, diameter, material, length and end fittings can be specified individually. Different wire rope connectors can also be combined at either end, depending on the application. For special requirements, customised terminals and steel cable connections can be developed and manufactured.

wire ropes and strands

A wide range of wire rope connectors and end fittings is available for customised wire rope assemblies. These include cylindrical nipples, stepped nipples, balls, ball heads, cable terminals, threaded terminals, loops, eyes and thimbles. Depending on the design, the connections can be produced using pressed or moulded termination processes. Customised steel cable connectors and special terminals can also be developed for specific applications.

Swaged terminals

Die-cast terminals

The right wire rope connector depends on several factors, including the wire rope construction, rope diameter, load, available installation space and type of connection required. Depending on the application, suitable solutions may include nipples, balls, threaded terminals, cable terminals, loops or thimbles. For applications with specific dimensional or technical requirements, customised wire rope connections can also be developed.

The following illustrations show how to measure ready-made ropes and crimped terminals correctly. Depending on the design and combination of end fittings, different measurement points and dimensions may apply.

Combinations of different crimped terminals are also possible. When placing your order, please specify the required length tolerance and the pre-tension force at which the assembled wire rope is to be tested. This ensures that the product can be manufactured and tested in accordance with the technical requirements.
