Automotive Cable Assemblies & Custom Control Cables

Wire rope and cable assemblies are used in automotive, bus, pickup trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and specialized truck systems to transmit motion and force. Common applications include brake cables, throttle cables, clutch cables, hood restraints, tailgate supports, charge port release cables, gear shifting systems, and control systems in commercial trucks, utility vehicles, tow trucks and heavy-duty equipment.

Push-pull control cables are mechanical cables used to transfer motion in both directions. In automotive applications, they are commonly used for throttle control, gear shifting, and other systems that require precise movement and responsiveness, particularly in commercial trucks, specialty vehicles, and equipment applications.

Push-pull cables can transmit force in both directions, allowing for controlled movement forward and backward. Pull-only cables are designed to transmit force in one direction only and are commonly used in applications such as brake, throttle, and clutch systems.

Lexco Cable manufactures a wide range of automotive cable assemblies including brake cables, throttle cables, clutch cables, push-pull controls, trailer safety cables, tailgate cables, hood restraint cables, charge port release cables, and custom specialty cable assemblies for commercial trucks, work vehicles, and equipment manufacturers.

Yes. Automotive cable assemblies can be fully customized based on length, diameter, material, coating, and end fittings. This allows manufacturers and technicians to meet exact specifications for OEM, aftermarket, and custom truck, equipment, and specialty vehicle builds.

Automotive cable assemblies are typically made from galvanized carbon steel or stainless steel depending on the application. Material selection is based on strength requirements, environmental exposure, and desired durability, especially in demanding commercial and industrial vehicle environments.

Common end fittings include threaded studs, stamped eyelets, swaged balls, loops, and bead fittings. These fittings allow cables to connect securely to different components within automotive systems.

Automotive cable assemblies are engineered to handle repeated movement, vibration, and environmental exposure. Features such as protective coatings, high-strength materials, and precision manufacturing help ensure long-term performance.

Tailgate and hood restraint cables are used to limit movement and provide support when opening and closing these components. They help prevent overextension and ensure safe operation.

Trailer safety cables are backup connections between a towing vehicle and a trailer. They are designed to keep the trailer attached in the event of hitch failure, improving safety during towing.
