Tungsten is one of the most unique materials known to humans. Firstly, tungsten is a refractory metal, which means it is very wear-resistant. Tungsten also has the highest melting temperature among all elements, making it an ideal choice for high-temperature applications. Therefore, no wonder there is a high demand for tungsten in the manufacturing of today's most modern mechanical cables and medical equipment.
Tungsten is commonly used in cable applications, such as surgical robots and equipment that require consideration of magnetism. In most medical device applications, tungsten is the preferred choice because of its wear-resistant properties.
Surgical robots
Robotic surgery is a rapidly growing global market. This is true because the requirements for successful surgery have changed. Today, the surgical efficiency of surgeons can determine their value to patients. The combination of speed, ease of use, and accuracy provides a perfect experience for today's patients. Surgical robots make it possible to operate from another room without affecting accuracy and quality.
Behind modern surgery lies the driving, bending, and clamping performance of tungsten cables during the surgical process. Nowadays, surgeons operate joysticks similar to electronic games and use these instruments to manipulate the body with infinite dexterity and precision.
Various practical medical applications
Tungsten has practical applications in various general medical instruments. Due to its excellent wear resistance, this material performs well in micro cable applications used in surgical robots and other instruments. In addition, tungsten is also used for the following applications:
● Syringe protection equipment
● Medical cables and cable drive tools
● Sensitive medical transport containers
● Precision computer scanning equipment
● Treatment and treatment conveying machinery
● Refractory materials
● Shielding layer and insulation
● X-ray and CT scanner systems
● Radiation therapy delivery system
● Mobile phone blocking
● Universal medical manual instruments
But just as popular as tungsten in the field of medical devices, it is interesting that Sava has been manufacturing seed cables for the semiconductor and solar panel industries for over 30 years. Therefore, although the medical device market enjoys the inherent advantages of tungsten, it is an element that supports innovation in many industries worldwide.
For over 50 years, Carl Stahl Sava Industries has been trusted to provide world-class mechanical cable components for a range of industries using tungsten, as well as 304, 316, nickel titanium, and many other materials. For projects that require tungsten cable components or any other complex requirements, please contact Sava's cable experts immediately.

When using tungsten wire ropes, the following points should be noted
1. The weight of the single crystal rod cannot exceed the rated working tension of the tungsten wire rope; 2. Before use, the appearance and surface quality of the tungsten wire rope should be checked first to see if there are any hard marks such as scratches, knots, and folds caused by hard objects. When winding the tungsten wire rope, the tightness should be checked to see if it is even and appropriate. If the above defects are found, immediately stop using them;
Tungsten wire: the perfect combination of surgical robots
Precision applications require precise materials, and tungsten wire rope is an ideal high-strength robot cable for precision applications. For decades, stainless steel has been the preferred metal for manufacturers who require elastic and corrosion-resistant materials, especially in humid environments. Stainless steel has high tensile strength and cost-effectiveness, making it the perfect choice for wires and cables that must withstand extremely harsh environments and working conditions. Stainless steel is valuable because it is durable and maintains its integrity. However, tungsten wire has become a darling of the surgical robot industry.
A single crystal furnace is a nonlinear load that consumes a large amount of electrical energy while generating high order harmonics during operation. Harmonic current causes serious distortion of voltage and current waveforms, which can lower power factor, decrease transformer utilization, overheat electrical equipment, and generate vibration and noise. Single crystal furnace harmonics can cause local parallel resonance or series resonance in the power system, amplifying the harmonic components and easily burning out compensation capacitors and other devices and equipment. Harmonics in the single crystal furnace can also cause misoperation of relay protection and automatic devices, leading to confusion in electrical energy measurement. The harmonic component can interfere with the crystal pulling control system, causing misalignment, crystal breakage, and other phenomena. In severe cases, it can cause tripping, affecting the safety of production and product quality.
