Learn the military specifications for cable/wire rope defined by MIL-DTL-83420. This article describes how these specifications ensure optimal performance, safety, and uniformity across military and aerospace applications.
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.
Cable pulleys may not be what one thinks of when thinking about machines. Notions of complex, mechanical equipment used to complete sophisticated tasks come to mind when considering the word, machine. But Cable pulleys are machines too! Matter of fact, oftentimes even the most sophisticated machines consist of other machines – sometimes, simple machines, which can amount to little more than rudimentary components like a single lever, a gear, or yes, a cable pulley.
