Plain Balls

Plain balls are used to create ball ends on wire rope and aircraft cable assemblies. They can function as cable stops, locating points, retention features, or compact attachment ends. They are commonly used in custom wire rope assemblies, control cables, OEM equipment, and industrial cable applications.

Plain balls are commonly used to create wire rope ball ends. Once installed on the cable, they provide a rounded end fitting that can seat into a compatible slot, socket, bracket, or mating component. The exact use depends on the cable assembly design and application requirements.

Plain balls are available in stainless steel, brass, and steel plated options. The right material depends on the cable type, environment, corrosion resistance needs, strength requirements, and how the ball end will interface with surrounding hardware.

Yes. Plain balls can be used with aircraft cable assemblies when the design requires a compact ball end or cable stop. Compatibility depends on the cable diameter, cable construction, fitting material, load requirements, and the mating component the ball end will connect with.

When requesting a quote, provide the cable diameter, wire rope or aircraft cable construction, plain ball material, ball size, quantity, load requirements, and application details. If available, include drawings, photos, specifications, or part numbers so Lexco can recommend the correct ball end fitting or custom cable assembly.
