Carbon fiber bows for stranding machines

Heinze & Streng offers composite flyer bows made from multi-layer composite materials, similar to those used in aerospace engineering. Their custom carbon fiber mesh is created using pressure casting molds, making the impact bars highly durable, long-lasting, and able to withstand even the most extreme stresses in processing machines. Here is its range:

Hybrid flyer bows

The company’s hybrid flyer bows enhance production performance with an optimized aerodynamic shape that reduces air resistance and energy consumption. Featuring increased strength due to special I-beam molding, these flyer bows ensure smooth wire routing while minimizing abrasion and dirt buildup. Without the need for wear plates, they prevent wire tearing;  furthermore, wire guides can be changed without removing the bracket. Multiple wire guide options, including hardened steel, ceramic, and hard metal, further enhance versatility and durability.

Wide SR bows

This bow is designed for SAMP stranding machines, offering enhanced durability, strength, and protection. Its aerodynamic design, combined with specially braided carbon material and molded steel strands, ensures robustness and extended service life. Features such as through bolts reduce bracket breakage, while the "slip-in" wear plate design allows for easy and quick replacement, making it highly efficient for heavy-duty applications.

ES stream bows

ES stream bows deliver on their promise of "energy saving" through an aerodynamic design made from carbon fiber mesh, which reduces energy consumption and lowers costs while maintaining high product quality. Their molded design eliminates the need for machining the wire guide groove, and the 100% carbon fiber braiding enhances durability.

Large cross-section carbon stirrups

H&S’s carbon bows with large cross-sections are exceptionally stable yet lightweight, designed for stranding machines handling bobbins with spool diameters from 1,000 to 2,500 mm. The I-beam-inspired bracket design offers significant weight reduction (around 40%) without compromising strength, making replacements easier and reducing wear on rotor bearings for maximum energy savings. 

Wear plates and guide elements

Wear plates play a crucial role in the wire and cable production process. The company provides customized, thermally treated variants designed to your exact specifications for enhanced durability. For optimal results, having the right accessories is essential: Heinze & Streng precise wire guide elements for composite flyer bows are built to withstand heavy loads. These guide elements are available in a variety of materials, including ceramic, carbide, hardened steel, and specialized roller designs, ensuring durability and performance in demanding production environments.
