Product Overview
Push Pull Control Cable is used when a mechanical control needs movement in both directions through a guided cable route. It belongs to the same purchasing family as Bowden, throttle and brake cable assemblies, but the RFQ should place extra attention on stroke, housing rigidity, end terminal alignment and mounting points.
Common Configurations
- Push pull cable with flexible black housing and threaded terminals
- Cable with adjuster, spring sleeve or bulkhead mounting feature
- Equipment control cable with different terminals at each end
- Marine, vehicle or industrial replacement cable matched from a sample
- Cable assembly with color-coded housing or protected outer sheath
Material Options
Comparable control cable products use galvanized steel, stainless steel or carbon steel for the inner cable. Housing options commonly include PVC, PU, PE, PA or TPE. The correct option depends on bend route, movement resistance, surface finish and the installation environment provided by the buyer.
Fitting Options
Push pull cable fittings may include threaded ends, eye terminals, barrel ends, clips, adjusters, bend tubes, springs and mounting sleeves. Photos should show the terminal from the side and front so the fixing geometry can be confirmed.
Application Notes
This cable type is suitable for remote mechanical controls, engine or equipment actuation, marine controls and replacement cable projects where both travel direction and cable routing affect performance. The buyer should describe whether the cable is replacing an existing sample or being built from a new drawing.
RFQ Information Required
- Movement direction and required stroke
- Overall cable length and housing length
- Inner cable diameter and housing outside diameter
- End fitting A and end fitting B drawings or photos
- Mounting point dimensions and thread details
- Application environment, quantity and packaging needs
Specification Note
Available configurations are confirmed according to cable diameter, material, fitting type, coating and application requirements.
