Control Cables Reliable mechanical link between operator and mechanism. Designed to transmit push, pull, and rotary motion cleanly and with low friction, these control cables provide consistent, precise operation for a wide range of equipment. Key benefits Precise control: Smooth, low-friction transmission reduces slack and improves responsiveness for accurate operation. Durable performance: Robust core construction and protective outer jackets resist wear, abrasion, and common environmental exposure. Easy installation and service: Flexible routing and standard end-fitting options simplify retrofit or replacement jobs. Versatile compatibility: Works with levers, throttles, brakes, valves, actuators, and other standard control interfaces. Reduced maintenance: Low-friction liners and corrosion-resistant materials extend service intervals and maintain consistent feel over time. Main attributes Function: Transmit linear or rotary mechanical motion between control input and controlled device with minimal play. Compatibility: Suited to a broad range of applications where cable-actuated control is required; compatible with standard end fittings and mounting hardware. Size and configuration: Available in multiple lengths and diameters to match routing and load requirements; flexible construction for tight or curved paths. Materials and construction: Engineered with a strong metal core for load capacity and a resilient outer sheath for protection; liners and corrosion-resistant options help ensure smooth internal movement. Performance: Designed for consistent tension, low backlash, and reliable response under repeated cycling and varying environmental conditions. Typical applications Automotive and light vehicle controls: Throttle, choke, hood release, or gear-shift linkages where direct, reliable operator feedback is required. Marine and outdoor equipment: Engine control, throttle, or steering linkages that need corrosion resistance and flexible routing in confined spaces. Industrial and equipment controls: Valve actuation, conveyor tethers, or machine safety interlocks in factories and workshop environments. Installation and use tips Choose the correct length and diameter for the intended routing to avoid excess slack or sharp bends. Match end fittings to the control and actuator to ensure secure attachment and correct travel. Route cables away from heat sources and sharp edges; use protective grommets or conduits where necessary. Inspect routing and mounting periodically for wear, corrosion, and proper tension; replace if fraying or excessive play appears. If you need assistance selecting the right cable for a specific application, measure the required travel, note end-fitting types, and confirm routing path to ensure compatibility and reliable performance.
