Cable Manufacturing & Assembly Co., Inc.

United States

MA is the recognized leader in miniature mechanical cable technology. We offer an extensive assortment of standard and custom products engineered to meet the requirements of the most demanding applications. Cycle-Flex is a lubricated, miniature, concentrically stranded stainless steel mechanical cable ranging from .006″ to .045″ in diameter. It is manufactured to the highest quality standards using the latest in custom-designed cable stranding equipment and technology.

Performax™ High Performance control cables are designed, engineered and produced to exceed the highest standards established for a cable assembly company by the ABYC, SAE, and ASTM. State of the art cable manufacturing facilities, equipment and stringent in-process controls ensure the highest quality product possible. These controls are designed for dual-station and tight control cable routing applications that require high performance efficiency in both tension (pull-pull cables) and compression (push-pull cables). Ideal for longer lengths that require reduced backlash for minimum lost motion at the control head. Performax™ controls offer: Maximum Efficiency Superior Flexibility Low Backlash for Minimum Lost Motion Maximum Corrosion Resistance Consistent Performance Enhanced Control Positive Operator Response Full Complement Long Lay Conduit

In some cases, stiffer, small diameter cables can be used for push-pull cables, providing the push load is very light and the combination of cable and conduit is carefully considered. Solid wire cores can be formed on the ends to eliminate the need to apply separate fittings or terminations. Bend radii should be large and routing must be simple in order to avoid a permanent set in the core wire. All push-pull controls have a larger capacity in the pull (or tension) mode than in the push (compression) mode. Push-Pull Cable Controls All design considerations for push-pull and pull-pull controls also apply to molded cable controls. Additional cable manufacturing factors do affect the design of these products. They include the molded conduit fittings, conduit selection, assembly function and dimensions. Recognition of these factors, combined with a practical design for the application, will result in a successful, reliable and cost-effective custom cable assembly
