How to Specify a Mechanical
Control Cable

Selecting the right mechanical control cable requires careful evaluation of system requirements and operating conditions. Lexco supports engineers and OEM teams in defining optimal cable specifications for performance and longevity.

  • Required stroke length and travel distance
  • Actuation force and load requirements
  • Routing constraints and bend radius limitations
  • Mounting configuration and installation space
  • Type of motion control required, including linear or responsive actuation

For high-performance systems, proper specification ensures smoother operation, reduced wear, and improved system reliability over time.

Mechanical Control Cable
Materials & Construction

The performance of a mechanical control cable depends heavily on material selection and internal construction. Lexco engineers each push pull control cable to match environmental and operational demands.

Material options include:

  • Carbon steel for cost-effective, controlled environments
  • Stainless steel for corrosion resistance and outdoor use

Performance-enhancing features include:

  • Low-friction internal liners for smooth actuation
  • Lubricated cable elements for reduced wear
  • Reinforced conduit designs for heavy-duty applications
  • Protective coatings for moisture and chemical resistance

These design choices ensure consistent performance across high-cycle, industrial, and mission-critical applications.
