Lock Clad cables by Bergen eliminate sagging to prevent wear

Lock Clad cable by Bergen

Bergen Cable has been approved by the United States government for distribution of Lock Clad cables – one of only two companies in the world that have this distinction. These are specialized cables used primarily for aircraft control in the aerospace sector. As a leader in the cable industry with an unmatched reputation, Bergen counts this federal approval as another trait that sets it far above its competition.

High level of fatigue resistance

One of the key benefits that set these cable solutions apart is their high level of fatigue resistance. Bergen Cable does not sell this cable until after it has undergone strict fatigue-resistance tests. Lock Clad aircraft cable is manufactured by swaging aluminum alloy tubing onto galvanized or stainless aircraft cable that complies with the strict standards of MIL-DTL-83420, which is a stringent, precise military specification that was designed to meet the requirements of organizations in the aerospace sector.

Lock Clad cables have been developed to eliminate all of the sagging that often occurs with long lengths of cable and to prevent wear and tear. This cable solution has aluminum tubing that prevents abrasion of the outer wires, which frequently happens when workers drag assemblies through bulkheads and other obstructions on airplanes. Although this cable is designed specifically for aerospace needs, it also comes in handy for many applications in other industries.

There are many notable advantages of investing in Bergen Lock Clad cables. First, they provide a significant reduction in stretch and a substantial decrease in cable vibration, or “singing”. The fine cylindrical surface lets the user seal the cable before passing it through pressurized bulkheads, and it also has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion. These cable assemblies are built to meet the high safety and precision standards of the aerospace sector, with applications that require strength, flexibility, and durability. So Lock Clad cable is more than suitable for other uses.

As a provider of the Lock Clad design of cable, Bergen has a rare status. This is a bonus on top of innovation, quality, technical expertise, and top client service.
