Learn more about popular applications for our exercise cable and how we work to deliver cable solutions that OEMs and manufacturers around the world can trust.

Exercise Cable Types and Applications

Exercise cables from Sandin Manufacturing can be designed for different types of machines and fitness requirements, including:

Single Pulley Machines

Single pulley machines have a one-to-one ratio between the amount of weight lifted and the amount of weight the user has to lift. Sandin Manufacturing offers strong, durable cable for these types of machines, with popular applications including upright cable rows and cable shrugs.

Double Pulley Machines

Also called compound pulley systems, double pulleys allow people to lift larger amounts of weight across a shorter distance and are ideal for reverse cable flies and other machines targeting specific muscles. We can provide cables that offer both durability and flexibility in these applications to facilitate smooth motion.

Cable Crossover Machine

Cable crossover machines use compound pulley systems with adjustable settings that allow for greater versatility in exercises. They can incorporate cables from Sandin Manufacturing to enhance safety, which is essential for individuals who are new to cable machines or may have muscle imbalances.

Functional Trainer Machine

Popular in home gyms and compact spaces, functional trainer machines are more complex in design than other machines. They have the components to handle different types of exercises, including traditional weight lifting and advanced cable-based resistance exercises. Further, the continuous tension provided by the cable promotes muscle activation throughout the entire range of motion, leading to more effective exercises.

Lat Pulldown Machine

These machines facilitate heavy cable-based lifting. Because individuals are using major muscles in the back and arms, each lat pulldown machine needs cables that offer safe, controlled weight lifting and lowering.

Rowing Machine

Rowing machines incorporate pushing and pulling exercises, with gym-goers and training athletes needing to seamlessly move through the different motions. As a result, the cables need to be able to handle both repeated force and heat from friction.

High-End Jump Ropes

Sandin Manufacturing can provide cables for jump ropes, including high-end and smart jump ropes, depending on your specific needs.

Our Custom Exercise and Fitness Cables

The right exercise and fitness cables make all the difference in a high-quality gym experience, with custom exercise and fitness cable solutions from Sandin Manufacturing offering the following:

• Lubrication that controls heat and friction while ensuring cables stay in their pulley wheels
• Ability to handle the maximum anticipated weight without deforming, wearing, or tearing through
• Materials that won’t degrade over time, providing reliable long-term use in high-volume gyms and other long-term setups
• A range of colors and size options to meet application-specific needs

We also stock our manufacturing centers with an extensive range of fittings and components so we can quickly deliver custom cable assemblies that can perform in the intended application. Our in-house experts can work with you to determine your exact fitness cable assembly requirements (the below chart provides common sizes, minimum-rated breaking strengths, and approximate weights per 1,000 feet), with material certifications also available upon request.
