Bergen Cable supplies many great solutions for the aerospace sector

The aviation sector makes up a big portion of Bergen's customer base.

For 80 years and counting, customers worldwide have benefited from Bergen Cable’s unmatched industrial cable solutions. An important part of the company’s customer base is the aerospace sector, and products that are especially popular in this industrial market include control cable, Lock Clad cable, and Safety Cable. Flight control and aircraft engine securing fasteners are some of the applications in which Bergen Cable’s manufacturing expertise is recommended for aviation cable assemblies.

Extreme reliability and perfect performance

Human lives rely on aerospace machinery always operating properly. Therefore, strength, reliability, and precision are essential traits in aviation cable assemblies. This is why extreme reliability and perfect performance are the highest priority in every scenario for Bergen. As a team of experts in aviation solutions, the company provides cable that is lightweight, strong, flexible, and resistant to fatigue, which are all essential traits in this industry.

Bergen supplies two kinds of light-duty control-cable solutions – push-pull systems, which apply motion by compression in one direction and tension in the opposite direction, and pull-pull systems, which apply motion by tension while spring actuation returns the control to the first position.

Apart from control cable, the aviation industry depends on Bergen’s Lock Clad cable, used primarily for aircraft control. Lock Clad cable has aluminum tubes swaged over it to meet the stringent MIL-DTL-87218 military specification. Among the benefits of this cable are dampened vibration, lower creep stretch, high thermal expansion coefficient, and a surface that provides better seals through pressure walls. Only two companies globally, including Bergen, have received United States government approval for production and supply of Lock Clad cable. This is a substantial indicator of Bergen’s high level of credibility.

Yet another solution for the aviation industry is Bergen’s own line of Safety Cable. The company’s engineering team collaborated with the General Electric Aircraft Engine Group in the 1980s to develop this unique cable product. The main mission was to make an alternative to lock wire for securing loose fasteners, but Safety Cable provides additional advantages, such as a higher level of safety, efficiency, and access to difficult areas.
