How the aerospace industry benefits from Bergen Cable aviation products

Bergen Cable products are ideal for aerospace tasks.

Bergen Cable has been supplying some of the world’s top industrial cable products since the early 1940s. One market that makes up an important part of Bergen’s customer base is the aerospace sector. Human lives rely on aerospace machinery working correctly at all times, so strength, reliability, and precision are vital in aircraft control cable. Bergen aviation cable and assemblies are highly recommended for flight control, securing fasteners in airplane engines, and other applications.

Extreme reliability and perfect performance

Extreme reliability and perfect performance are the top priority in the manufacture of Bergen aircraft control cable. As a team of experts in aviation products, Bergen makes cable that is lightweight, strong flexible, and fatigue-resistant, which are essential properties in aerospace.

Two models of light-duty control-cable systems are available. Push-pull systems apply motion by compression in one direction and tension in the opposite direction; pull-pull systems apply motion by tension, while spring actuation returns the control to the initial position.

Another product popular in the aerospace industry is Bergen’s Lock Clad cables. Used mostly for aircraft control, Lock Clad cable has aluminum tubes swaged over them to meet the stringent military specification MIL-DTL-87218. Advantages of this aircraft control cable include dampened vibration, lower creep stretch, high thermal expansion coefficient, and a surface that provides better seals through pressure walls. Bergen is one of the only two companies in the world that the United States government has approved for production and supply of Lock Clad cables, which is a notable sign of the high level of credibility the company has.

Yet another product that Bergen Cable offers for the aerospace industry is its own line of Safety Cable. Bergen’s engineering team, collaborated with the General Electric Aircraft Engine Group to develop Safety Cable more than 30 years ago. The goal was to create an alternative to lock wire for securing loose fasteners. Other advantages that Safety Cable offers to users include a higher level of safety, efficiency, and access to difficult areas.
