These spherical ball-end features are found on flexible strands and cables with uniform composition and contiguous volume. The bead of this system provides a secure attachment point without the need to incorporate external hardware, eliminating undesirable weight or friction in a system.
Materials: Tungsten, Nitinol, 304SST
Our semi-rigid wires and tubes with spherical ball-end features have a uniform composition and contiguous volume. With a superior mechanical advantage, the bead can be received into a mating pocket and act as a push-pull wire or ball joint. The round feature can prevent tears and scratches on part surfaces that it may come in contact with.
Materials: Nitinol, Titanium, 304SST
Assembled in our ISO 7 (Class 10k) clearnroom, Strand Products mechanical cable assemblies are a manufactured solutions for even the most complex applications including: Robotic arms, Angioplasty guidewires, Endoscopes, Fluoroscopy, Steerable catheters, and Limb prosthetics.
Materials: Vectran, MP35N, Tungsten, 304SST, 316SST, Nitinol
