stranded wire machinery
Our manufacturing process is flexible and allows us to adapt our supply to meet your specific needs. Our alloys are stranded from annealed materials through our specialised machinery and formed to ensure the wire is straight, tight and runs without any twists.
Strands of 7 and 19 can be produced in a variety of diameters, resistances and sizes and shipped worldwide.
If you’re unsure of the suitability of stranded wire for your industry or end application, our technical department will be more than happy to assist in suggesting the most appropriate material for stranded resistance wire and more.
Stranded Wire FAQs
What is stranded wire?
Stranded wire vs solid wire: what is the difference?
Can you mix a stranded and solid wire?
What types of stranded wire are there?
The types of stranded wire refer to the configuration of wires within the stranded wire. This includes:
- Concentric strand – in a concentric strand, layers of wire are wrapped around a core, central wire
- Bunch strand – with a bunch strand, there is no specific geometric pattern, with strands being more generally grouped together
- Rope strand – a rope strand involves groups of stranded wire which are twisted together to form a cable reminiscent of a rope
- Annular conductor – braided sets of strands surround a central, typically non-conductive wire
- Compact conductor – groups of bundled strands are compressed together to remove air pockets between the strands
