Control cable systems from Bergen Cable work for many industries

Bergen offers Push-Pull and Pull-Pull control cables.

Bergen Cable remains a top cable supplier in North America, a major source of workplace cable solutions for more than 75 years. Customers trust this company for many products and services, ranging from lanyards, miniature cables, and custom assemblies to its own safety-cable technology. Bergen also offers a line of control cable systems, which are extremely useful in aerospace, the military, and other major industries.

Fulfilling many important functions

These control cable systems fulfill many important functions in these industrial markets, though they are used largely for precise transmission of mechanical motion. Other common uses for control cables include throttle control, brake control, power takeoff, release actuation, and engagement and disengagement of different systems. The Bergen team uses either its own standard components or its versatile machining capabilities to make these systems; machining is employed for customizing cable systems for customers’ unique or specific needs.

Control cable systems are frequently used by customers in the following applications: all-terrain vehicles; construction vehicles and equipment; fixed-wing aircraft systems; helicopter systems; HVAC controls; industrial systems; medical equipment; military equipment and vehicles; outdoor power equipment; utility vehicles; and wheelchairs.

Two categories of control cables are available from Bergen Cable: Push-Pull and Pull-Pull. When using the former cables, compression applies motion in one direction while tension applies it in the opposite direction. In the case of Pull-Pull cables, motion is applied by tension, while the control is returned to its original position by spring actuation.

Control cables are just one of the many kinds of cable and wire-rope solutions the Bergen supplies for businesses all over North America. Sizes of these products can go from miniature to 3/8 of an inch in diameter. Customers can acquire bulk cable for a minimum order of US$150, and electrical and jacketed cable products are also available. Whatever a company needs, for whatever purpose, Bergen can provide it with the highest quality standards.
