Cable (rope)

This page evaluates the mechanical suitability of five high-performance cable candidates—Dyneema® SK78 (1mm and 3mm), Dyneema® DM20 (3mm), Technora® (3mm), and Tungsten wire rope—for application in precision robotic mechanisms and rigging systems. The page compares key performance metrics including breaking strength, strength-to-weight ratio, thermal stability, creep characteristics, and flexibility (D/d ratio). The findings indicate that…
