Mechanical Cable Assembly: The Definitive Guide

Thursday, May 25, 2023

There are many operations that go into manufacturing mechanical cable assemblies, beginning with stranding steel or tungsten wires in large machines known as stranders or cablers. These machines twist the cable’s wires into helical configurations, and the cables they produce involve different wire counts, flexibilities, and break strengths, depending upon a host of factors determined by the assembly’s designers. Once the wire rope or mechanical cable has been stranded into its desired wire count and configuration, it is spooled and transported to a cutting production area where it undergoes a sophisticated cutting operation.

How to Crimp Cable Ferrules to Wire Rope Using a Hand Tool: A Step-by-Step Guide

Wednesday, May 3, 2023

Mechanical cable ferrules, which can be referred to as swaged sleeves, or more often, cable crimp sleeves, can be applied to wire ropes or miniature cables using a hand tool or a machine press. But the success one has using hand tools to achieve the full rated strength that the cable assembly requires depends upon a variety of factors. In this read, Sava walks you through a step-by-step guide to using a hand tool to press a cable ferrule (or cable crimp sleeve) to a length of mechanical cable.

Understanding Mechanical Cable Costs: Key Factors to Consider for Optimal Performance and Budgeting

Thursday, April 13, 2023

The cost to purchase mechanical cable fluctuates considerably, depending upon an extensive range of variables. Familiarizing oneself with what exactly informs mechanical cable price equips cable buyers with the right cable material, diameter, and construction the first time, every time. On the other hand, being unaware of what goes into the pricing of cable oftentimes means wasted spending, discarded cable, cable assemblies, and later, perhaps even worse, delays taking a new product to market.

Cable Crimp Sleeves: What Are They and How Do You Use Them?

Wednesday, March 8, 2023

Cable crimp sleeves are among the most commonly used wire rope and mechanical cable fittings. Also, but lesser known as loop sleeves, cable crimp sleeves are popular because they are designed to serve two fundamental cable assembly functions: form a loop at one or both ends of a length of cable, and/or attach two separate pieces of cable together.

How Do Mechanical Cable Fittings Inform Breaking Strength?

Tuesday, February 28, 2023

The difference between mechanical cable and a mechanical cable assembly is the presence of fittings applied to the mechanical cable itself. When engineers design mechanical cable, which, depending on the cable’s diameter, can also be known as wire rope, they consider variables such as lay length, wire diameter, cable diameter, cable construction, cable coating, and a host of other factors.
