Our Products
Sandin Manufacturing prioritizes durability, strength, and flexibility, offering a comprehensive range of stainless steel cables and wire rope products to accommodate application-specific needs:
Bright Wire Rope
Known for its high strength and flexibility, bright wire rope is suitable for general-purpose applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. At Sandin Manufacturing, we offer bright wire rope in a variety of constructions and diameters.
Galvanized Aircraft Cable
This steel cable is coated with a layer of zinc to enhance corrosion resistance. Galvanized aircraft cable from Sandin Manufacturing is suitable for outdoor and marine environments. It is also an affordable option that can be used to meet most strand, cable, and wire rope needs.
Stainless Steel Aircraft Cable
Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and strength in marine, food processing, and medical applications. At Sandin Manufacturing, we offer aircraft cable and wires in stainless steel type 302/304 and type 316. Type 302/304 is the most common type used, while type 316 offers the highest corrosion resistance.
For applications with highly corrosive operating environments, stainless steel type 316 aircraft cable is a reliable option.
