These control cables are pre-stretched for closer tolerance applications and to reduce stretching following installation. The major difference between aircraft and commercial cable is the lubrication applied to aircraft cable, which provides substantially better fatigue life than non-lubricated commercial cable. Aircraft cable requires extensive extra testing, documentation and certification to meet military specifications. We obtain our aircraft cable from domestic sources and the cable is certified to MIL-DTL-83420 and QPL Certified. Unit of measure is feet. 7 X 7 Flexible Control Cable Has seven strands of seven wires each. Used for control purposes where extreme flexibility is not required but where abrasion is a factor. 7 X 19 Flexible Control Cable Has seven strands of 19 wires each. Its greater metallic area makes it stronger than 7 X 7 cable. Because of its fine wires the best service is obtained where abrasion is not too severe. These same wires, however, make it flexible to meet severe bending. |
