Products
Flexible Series
Not all motion is in a straight line. Control cables are designed to transmit motion in a non-linear path, but the typical control cable is limited in the number of bends and the degree of radius for each of those bends before efficiency declines. The Flexmax line of control cables feature advanced conduit design combined with flexible materials and core wire, producing superior flexibility.
Features/Benefits
- Conduits engineered for maximum flexibility using proprietary designs and materials
- Designs accommodate a variety of cable constructions ranging from 7×19 to solid wire
- Outer jacket materials engineered for the application, whether UV protection, abrasion resistance or enhancing flexibility
- Liner materials and lifetime lubrication for improved efficiency in tough routing conditions
- Bend radii as low as 1.5″ can be achieved in certain applications
Efficiency Series
Cablecraft’s efficiency series – Excelmax – is designed with optimal performance in mind. Utilizing proprietary designs combined with state-of-the-art materials, the Excelmax cables are designed to maximize tension and compression efficiencies while maintaining minimal lost motion.
Features/Benefits
- Patented hexagonal shaped core wire extrusion for maximum efficiency
- Application proven liner material provides lower co-efficiency of friction
- Lifetime lubrication to stand up against the rigors of frequent use
- Corrosion resistant materials for the harshest environments
- Polypropylene outer jacket for abrasion resistance
- Sealed to prevent contaminants degrading performance
- Rated at -18℃ operating temperature
Strength Series
Need the strength of a rod to push high loads but the flexibility of a cable? Most cables will collapse under the pressure, but not the Forcemax. The Forcemax control cable is specifically designed for high compressive loads. Utilizing long lay conduits and ArmoAny of our standard cable fittings, either zinc die-cast or steel, can be combined with the Performax® line of proprietary designed cable and conduit, providing you with a high performance push-pull cable assembly with minimal development costs. Or, our Engineering team will design the fitting that mates with your components for a truly customized solution while maximizing the desired performance.red core wire, Forcemax will get the job done.
Features/Benefits
- Double wrapped Armored core wire for compressive loads greater than 200 lbs.
- Long lay conduit with a full complement of lay wires
- Tough outer jacket binding materials for added layer of durability
- Lifetime lubrication to maintain ease of use under high loads
- Superior column strength for positive operator response
