The paper is devoted to numerical and experimental study of the natural vibration frequencies of a steel cable at different levels of tensile force. During the calculations, a model of transverse string vibrations was used. Several stands were developed with the ability to measure the tension force and natural vibration frequencies of the cable. The friction losses in the designed stand bracket were experimentally estimated by monitoring the cable tension on both sides of the bracket. A study was conducted using test benches to determine the dynamic parameters of a cable of different length-gravity configurations. In addition, a comparative analysis of the experimentally obtained and calculated frequency spectra of small vibrations of a steel cable has been performed. It is concluded that it is possible to determine the levels of tensile force in the cable based on the measured values of the natural oscillation frequencies.
