OUR SOLUTIONS

Fiber ropes for the entertainment industry

In this segment, we cater primarily to three different areas of use: 

  • Our synthetic ropes are widely used in theater, musicals, film productions, stunts, and major Hollywood blockbusters for reliable performance and safety.

  • Our fiber ropes power rope-guided camera systems, delivering smooth, reliable footage from ski races, Formula 1, rowing competitions, ski jumping, and the Olympics directly to viewers.

  • Our bowling pin resetting ropes ensure smooth and reliable pin return, keeping the bowling lane running without interruptions and maintaining a fun, consistent playing experience.

Our ropes – your benefit: 

Teufelberger fiber ropes ensure the safety of people and equipment at film productions, sports events, and stage shows. Actors, stunt crews, stage workers and camera systems are secured to prevent falls and injuries. The installation must remain stable at all times, ensuring both user and spectator safety and a smooth performance.

  • Our synthetic ropes exhibit extremely high breaking forces in combination with minimal weight. 

  • To achieve wide spans, our lightweight, low-elongation ropes minimize slack and system height, ensuring stable performance and energy-efficient operation for camera and stage systems.

  • We offer a wide range of custom-tailored ropes that can be color-matched to the stage or setup. For most applications, the goal is a visually discreet or nearly invisible rope installation.

Live action capture

Ropes for camera systems

Spectacular shots from sports events, concerts, and live shows depend on high-performance camera systems in constant motion – flying, gliding, or tracking athletes at high speed. The same setups capture iconic moments from productions like the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert or the Olympic Games.

Teufelberger fiber ropes combine low weight, high strength, and minimal slack for maximum precision and safety. Designed to handle continuous acceleration, deceleration, and reverse motion, they offer excellent bending fatigue resistance and silent operation – ensuring smooth, stable camera movements for any entertainment or film production.

  • Spectacular camera shots for sports, concerts, and live events with high-performance fiber ropes.

  • Extremely high strength at minimal weight for low-slack, cost-efficient system design.

  • Minimal slack reduces energy consumption during acceleration and deceleration.

  • High breaking forces with maximum safety reserves and no injury risk for users or spectators.

  • Easy and quick handling during assembly and disassembly.

  • Customizable design to meet specific production requirements.

  • Outstanding abrasion and bending fatigue resistance for long service life and low maintenance.

  • Minimal elongation – retensioning rarely required.

Behind every perfect game

Ropes for automatic bowling alleys

Special ropes used to reset pins. 

Thanks to a special coating, our coated fiber ropes offer the perfect balance of rigidity and flexibility, ensuring high-reliability performance in demanding applications. This design prevents hockling and keeps pins from becoming entangled or stuck, providing smooth operation at all times. The protective coating also ensures long-lasting performance, even during extended use, by reducing wear and preventing deposits in automatic bowling alleys. With Teufelberger ropes, your system runs efficiently and consistently, minimizing maintenance and downtime while maximizing operational safety and reliability.
