Bergen Cable is a major cable supplier for the aerospace industry

Aviation companies rely on Bergen cable solutions.

Over more than eight decades, Bergen Cable has benefited businesses around the globe with its world-class industrial cable products. The aerospace industry makes up a significant portion of the supplier’s customer base, as it relies heavily on such popular Bergen solutions as control cable, Lock Clad cable, and Safety Cable.

Aircraft engine securing fasteners and flight control are among the applications for which customers trust Bergen’s expertise in aviation cable assemblies.

Strength, precision, and dependability

The most important traits of aerospace cable products are strength, precision, and dependability – as human lives rely on aircraft equipment always functioning properly. So extreme reliability and perfect performance are the top priorities for the company in every application. As a team of experts in aviation solutions, Bergen offers cable that is lightweight, strong, flexible, and resistant to fatigue, essential characteristics in the aerospace sector.

Bergen carries two types of light-duty control-cable products: 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 initial position.

Aside from control cable, the aerospace sector also relies on Bergen Lock Clad cable, mainly used for aircraft control. Lock Clad cable has aluminum tubes swaged over it to comply with the strict MIL-DTL-87218 military specification. Advantages of this cable include dampened vibration, lower creep stretch, high thermal expansion coefficient, and a surface that offers superior seals through pressure walls. Bergen is one of only two companies worldwide that have received United States government approval for manufacture and distribution of Lock Clad cable – which is a significant indicator of Bergen’s high level of credibility.

Another solution for the aerospace sector is Bergen’s own Safety Cable. The company’s engineering team partnered with the General Electric Aircraft Engine Group in the 1980s to create this unique cable solution. The primary objective was to develop an alternative to lock wire for securing loose fasteners, but Safety Cable offers a higher level of safety, efficiency, and access to difficult areas, among its other additional benefits.
