Custom Braided Wire and Conductor Structures
MAEDEN combines tinsel wire, conductive yarn, metal strands, and high-strength fibers into application-specific braided structures. Each construction is engineered around the required diameter, DC resistance, flexibility, tensile load, and production requirements.
Custom Flexible Wire Built Around Your Requirements
MAEDEN develops flexible conductor structures instead of limiting projects to fixed catalog specifications. Share your target outer diameter, DCR, current or voltage, motion type, bend radius, cycle target, tensile load, operating temperature, and insulation or termination requirements.
Our engineering team evaluates the combination of metal, plating, fiber reinforcement, conductor geometry, insulation, and post-processing needed for your application.
Outer Diameter &
Electrical Resistance
Define the target conductor diameter and maximum DCR based on your available space, electrical load, and system architecture. MAEDEN evaluates the conductor structure required to balance compact size with stable electrical performance.
Motion Profile &
Flex Life
Specify how the wire will move including bending radius, angle, speed, frequency, tensile load, twisting, stretching, or multidirectional motion. These conditions help determine the appropriate conductor structure and validation method.
Materials &
Post-Processing
Select the required metal, plating, fiber, insulation, anti-corrosion treatment, cutting, and pre-tinning process based on assembly requirements and operating conditions.
Application-Specific Testing for Flexible Wire Reliability
Flexible wire performance depends on more than the number of test cycles. Bend radius, angle, speed, load, temperature, routing, and failure criteria can all affect the result.
MAEDEN develops test conditions around the intended application. Bend, torsion, conical motion, tensile, compression, impact, and fatigue tests can be configured to compare conductor structures, identify potential failure points, and support engineering validation.
Testing results are evaluated under the defined conditions and should not be interpreted as a universal service-life guarantee.
Flexible Wire Testing Methods
Bend Test
(Swing Test)
The bend test assesses a wire's resistance to fatigue and cracking when subjected to repeated bending cycles.
We take into account factors such as bend radius, temperature, and the number of cycles to determine the wire's flexibility and durability.
Twist Test
(Torsion Test)
We perform the twist test to determine a wire's ability to withstand twisting forces without breaking or experiencing performance degradation. It estimates the wire's torsional strength, angle of twist at failure, and resistance to twisting-induced damage. This test is essential for applications involving rotational movement or twisting forces.
Circle Test
(Conical Test)
The circle test simulates the continuous bending of a wire in a circular motion to assess its resistance to wear and tear. Factors like bend radius, test duration, and the wire's ability to maintain conductivity are evaluated.
Pull Test
(Tensile Test)
The pull test measures a wire's resistance to breaking when subjected to longitudinal tensile force. With a pull test, we determine the wire's ultimate tensile strength, elongation at break, and overall load-bearing capacity. This test is crucial for determining the wire's suitability for applications requiring high tensile loads.
Push test
(Squeeze Test)
The push test measures a wire's resistance to compressive forces applied perpendicular to its axis. The key goal is to detect the wire's crush resistance, dimensional stability, and ability to maintain electrical and mechanical properties under compression. This test is crucial for applications where wires are subjected to squeezing or clamping forces.
Fatigue test
(Lifespan Test)
The fatigue test assesses a wire's resistance to failure under repeated cyclic loading. We check the maximum endurance limit, the number of cycles it can withstand before breaking, and its overall fatigue life. This test is crucial for applications where wires are subjected to dynamic or vibrating loads, such as those in acoustic fields.
Integrated Technologies for Custom Flexible Conductors
Flexible conductor performance is determined by how materials, structure, and processing work together. MAEDEN integrates metal selection, plating, fiber reinforcement, conductor geometry, surface treatment, insulation, precision cutting, and pre-tinning into a complete conductor design.
Each variable can be adjusted according to the required diameter, electrical resistance, mechanical load, assembly process, operating environment, and reliability target.
