Carl Stahl Sava Industries has been manufacturing tungsten and stainless steel wire rope (also known as mechanical cable) for 50 years now. In this comprehensive discussion, Sava’s Stranding Supervisor Tom Duffy talks about how wire rope is made, as well as how stainless steel and tungsten cable behave before, during and after stranding the individual filaments that comprise mechanical cable.

With over 40 years of experience manufacturing wire rope, Tom Duffy is a quintessential world-class authority in the area of mechanical cable manufacturing. The wire rope that Tom and his team produce is used around the world, in surgical robots and endoscopic instruments, is hurdling through space, and is even almost certainly functioning right now inside the bodies of someone you know who has had a hip repaired.

In this 15-minute conversation, Tom explains the simplest cable construction configurations, all the way up to among the most complex as well. Duffy covers just how small the diameters of Sava’s mechanical cable can get and explains how the wires themselves are wrapped around one another to ultimately produce a wide variety of wire rope constructions.

With the assistance of visual aids and wire rope diagrams, Tom also explains in plain English how stainless steel and tungsten strand are fundamentally different mechanical cable materials that possess extremely different physical characteristics. Tom dives into how manufacturing wire rope from both stainless steel and tungsten present interesting and unique challenges, and how, as the wires themselves get smaller in diameter, Tom and his team begin to encounter increasingly sophisticated challenges.
