Njengomthwalo obalulekile wezimboni-ophethe ingxenye, ukusebenza kwezintambo zezintambo kuhlobene eduze nedizayini yazo yesakhiwo. Intambo yocingo ejwayelekile yenziwe ngezingqimba eziningi zezintambo zensimbi ezisontekile. Isakhiwo esiyinhloko sihlanganisa izingqimba ezintathu: umgogodla, imicu, kanye ne-monofilaments. Lezi zingqimba zisebenza ndawonye ukuze zithole amandla aphezulu, ukumelana nokugqoka, nokumelana nokukhathala.
Umnyombo, ophakathi nendawo yentambo yocingo, ngokuyinhloko uhlinzeka ngokusekela nokuthambisa. Ama-cores avamile ahlanganisa ama-fiber cores (njengemicu yemvelo noma yokwenziwa) kanye nama-metal cores (njengemicu yensimbi). Ama-fiber cores ayashintshashintsha, amunca ukudlidliza, futhi agcine okokugcoba. Ama-metal cores anikeza ukumelana nokucindezelwa okukhuphukile nokusebenza{3}}kwezinga lokushisa eliphezulu, okuwenza afanelekele{4}}izinhlelo zokusebenza ezisindayo.
Imicu iqoqo lezintambo eziningi zensimbi ezisontekile ngokuzungezile phakathi nendawo, ngokuvamile ehlanganisa izintambo eziyisithupha kuya kweziyisishiyagalombili. Indlela yokubeka ({1}}isandla sobunxele noma kwesokudla-) somucu ngamunye kanye nokuqondanisa kwawo nenkambo kuthinta ngokuqondile ukuzinza kwentambo yocingo. Imicu iza ngezinhlobonhlobo zokucushwa, okuhlanganisa i-Seale, i-Warrington, ne-Filler. Lezi zakhiwo zithuthukisa amandla okuphuka kanye nokumelana nokugqoka ngokuthuthukisa ukuxhumana kwezintambo. Isibonelo, izintambo ze-Seale zinezintambo eziqinile zangaphandle, ezifanele izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingaphansi kokuguga okunzima; Izintambo zokugcwalisa, ngakolunye uhlangothi, zisebenzisa izintambo ezincanyana ukugcwalisa izikhala futhi zithuthukise ukumelana nokucindezela.
I-monofilament, iyunithi eyisisekelo yentambo yocingo, ngokuvamile yenziwe nge-carbon steel noma i-alloy steel, futhi amandla ayo athuthukiswa ngenqubo yokudweba{0}}ebandayo. Ububanzi, amandla aqinile, nokwelashwa okungaphezulu (njengokwenza uthayela ukuze kuvinjwe ukugqwala) kwe-monofilament kuthinta ngqo impilo yayo yonke. Izintambo zesimanje ngokuvamile zisebenzisa izintambo ezinezigaba ezikhethekile-eziphambanayo (ezifana ne-elliptical noma i-trapezoidal) ukuze kwandiswe indawo yokuthintana phakathi kwezintambo nokunciphisa ukugxila kwengcindezi.
Isakhiwo sentambo yocingo kufanele sihambisane nohlelo oluthile. Isibonelo, izintambo zezintambo zekheshi zigcizelela ukuguquguquka nokuguga okufanayo, zisebenzisa isakhiwo esiminyene,{1}}semicu eminingi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izintambo ze-Crane wire zibeka phambili-umthamo wokuthwala futhi zincamela izintambo eziwugqinsi,{4}}eziphakeme kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukulawula okunembile kwamapharamitha enqubo yokusonta (okufana ne-lay ratio) kubalulekile ekuvimbeleni ukuxega nokusonteka.
Kafushane, ukwakheka kwezintambo zocingo kuwukubonakaliswa okuphelele kwesayensi yezinto zokwakha, ukwakheka kwemishini, kanye nokuzijwayeza kobunjiniyela. Ukwenziwa kahle kwayo kuyaqhubeka nokuqhubekisela phambili intuthuko yezobuchwepheshe emikhakheni efana nokukhuphula izimboni, ezokuthutha, nobunjiniyela basolwandle.
