Nanshan Zhishang Says UHMWPE Fiber Can Serve Robotic Dexterous Hand Tendon Cables

Nanshan Zhishang (300918.SZ) said on Nov. 9 via an investor interaction platform that its ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber can be used in tendon-driven cables for robotic dexterous hands and in flexible protective components. The company said the material offers high strength, low density and abrasion resistance, making it suitable for transmission and protection scenarios that require lightweight designs and resistance to repeated bending. UHMWPE fiber is a high-performance fiber commonly used in high-strength ropes and protective materials. The disclosure indicates that Nanshan Zhishang is exploring applications in embodied-AI robotics components, extending its materials business into a new segment. The statement focuses on a potential robotics use case rather than a confirmed order or commercial contract. The company did not disclose specific customers, mass-production timelines or order volumes.
