Actuation

Cablecraft’s Actuation Systems utilize a wide range of standard controls. Used with our custom levers, handles and push buttons, they are engineered and manufactured to specifications suitable for every application that requires the ability to move, adjust or release remotely.

These systems are a lightweight and cost-effective means to remotely operate any latch, release, locking gas spring, throttle, choke, PTO or vent control. Cablecraft’s Engineering Department will assist you in the specification of a system using standard or custom components to solve any remote actuation challenges.

Our wide variety of controls includes levers, push buttons and pull handles as well as locking and fine adjustment controls which offer many user-friendly features including ease of installation. And for locking gas spring applications, we offer a line of control heads which fit many popular gas springs on the market today.

All controls are designed to be assembled to function with Cablecraft’s motion control cable assemblies. Standard fittings are specified to ensure easy and reliable installation and performance.

Light Duty Control Levers

Our pull-pull light duty levers are custom molded controls for a variety of applications including latch release, height adjustment, seating, office furniture and durable medical equipment. We offer several different styles to choose from depending on the mounting geometry and travel required. We also offer a tube mount lever for light duty brake controls.

Push-Button Controls

The Cablecraft push-button controls are an excellent choice when actuation space is limited. Offered in two sizes, these controls will fit a multitude of applications, from seat release/recline to remote door latching to motion furniture.

Micro-Adjust Controls

Micro-Adjust controls are ideal for remote operation of a throttle, regulating valve, or other applications needing precise adjustment capabilities. To make course adjustments, push and pull the knob and for more precise adjustment the knob rotates clockwise or counterclockwise for a total of 1” travel.

Locking Control

Twist Lock T-Handle is a robust and simple design with only one moving part. They are cost effective solutions to mechanically connecting and locking a manual input source to a remote output.
