CABLECRAFT
Power Sports
As a leading supplier of Engineered Motion Control products to the Power Sports and Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) industry, Cablecraft has built our reputation on quality, performance and excellence in engineering design. Our engineering team will work with you to design the right solution for any throttle, shift, clutch, brake, idle, tailgate, latch release or seat adjustment need you have.
Cablecraft has been designing and manufacturing motion control products since 1974 and as a certified IATF16949 and ISO9001 supplier, you can be assured we put quality first in all that we do.
Motion Control Cables
Motion Control cables (pull-pull, push-pull) are widely used in the power sports and low speed vehicle (LSV) industries for controlling motion in a non-linear path with sometimes challenging routing requirements. More frequent applications are light-duty controls (less than 25 lbs. loads) such as release mechanisms or throttle cables to medium-duty cables for shifting or clutch. Our engineers will design a
motion control cable based on your specific application, whether you require industry leading efficiencies, high compressive strength or flexibility for difficult routing applications.
Pull-Pull Cables – Used for applications when only transmission forces are required, often utilizing a spring to return to the original position after activation. In the power sports and LSV industries, pull-pull cables are used for throttle, clutch, brake and door latch release as well as other applications.
Push-Pull Cables – A cable that transmits movement in both directions constructed with a cable or wire with robust column strength such as a solid wire, a wire rope with a single wire at its center like a 1x7 or a reinforced wire rope such as Armored Core. Due to, oftentimes, complex routing requirements and higher loads, the most frequent use of push-pull cables in the power sports and LSV industries is for shifting.
Performax®
The Performax® line of push-pull cable solutions offers application-driven performance to optimize any project. Using Cablecraft’s proprietary designs, we have developed a line of cables that will save development time and costs while improving performance. Built specifically for tough applications, Performax® delivers with industry leading efficiencies, flexibility and low lost motion (backlash). Combined with Cablecraft's sealing technologies to restrict water, dust and dirt ingress, Performax® sets the standard for durability. Whether your application demands high compressive strength, maximum efficiency or increased flexibility, the Performax® line of control cables can be engineered to your application requirements.
Safety/Restraint Cables
Safety/restraint cables, or sometimes referred to as lanyards, are static cables used for stopping or restraining a moving object. Cablecraft offers a variety of these cables using either eyelets (diecast or steel) or loops and they can be coiled or non-coiled. We also offer Nylon, Vinyl or TPE coated cable to protect from the environment or for aesthetics. In the power sports and LSV industries, safety/restraint cables are used for tailgates and load restraints and many other applications.
Cycle-Flex® Miniature Cables
Cycle-Flex™ by Cablecraft is the recognized leader in miniature mechanical cable technology for its durability and long life in high cycle applications. Its versatility for product applications in the power sports and LSV industries; ranging from lid restraints to safety products, has made it the preferred choice by design engineers where size and durability matter. Cycle-Flex™ is offered in a variety of constructions and in diameters as small .15 mm and can either be coated or uncoated, lubricated or un-lubricated.
Linkages
Cablecraft offers a wide range of linkage products and assemblies. Linkage products are often used when a direct robust solid connection is needed. Linkages offer minimal lost motion from your input source to the output and can often transmit higher loads safely at comparable sizes.
Rod Ends – Rod ends are the most long-lasting options for linkages as they offer more wear surface at the bearing with the options to include long life self-lubricated surfaces such as PFTE liners, Lubricated Nylon, Oil Impregnated Bronze and or many other specialty coatings for extreme environments or temperatures such as Cablecraft line of proprietary high temp composite materials. All our products come in a wide range of sizes based on industry standard DIN and SAE standards ranging typically from 5mm thru 16mm or 10-32 thru ¾.
Ball Joints – Ball Joints are great options for reliable motion control linkages with lower load requirements. They can be economically customized as solid point to point double bearing joints or standalone linkages that can be fastened to the end of connecting rods, cylinders and or even push-pull cables.
Linkage Assemblies – Our Engineering team can help create many custom assemblies that fall outside of what a typical Ball Joint, Rod End or swivel bearing might look like. These linkages can help create value for the customer by in most cases creating final Input to Output solid assembly that the user only must bolt in place and rest assured that their motion will move smoothly and securely over time without concern.
Actuation Products
Cablecraft offers the widest selection of products available for a multitude of actuation requirements. Utilizing our light duty pull-pull cables, often paired with our release mechanisms, these systems offer lightweight, reliable and cost-effective solutions for remote actuation of latches, release and locking gas springs.
