Custom Pull-Only Clutch Cable Assemblies Built to Your Specs
Why Off-the-Shelf Clutch Cables Often Fall Short
In many OEM or retrofit systems, pre-fabricated clutch cables don't
align with the unique layout, stroke, or durability requirements of
real-world mechanical environments.
Maybe the routing requires tighter bends.
Maybe the stroke needs millimeter accuracy.
Maybe the vibration or heat resistance of the cable just doesn’t
cut it.
That’s where Phidix’s custom pull-only clutch cable program makes a
difference.
What “Custom-Engineered” Means at Phidix
Unlike generic cables, every Phidix engineered assembly is built on
detailed technical coordination with your team.
| Customizable Parameter | What It Means for You |
|---|
| A & L Dimensions | Exact conduit length and cable travel tailored to your system |
| Inner Core Options | Steel strand size (1x19, 7x7), coating types (nylon, PTFE) |
| Conduit Variants | Plastic jacket, stainless braid, HD options for severe duty |
| End Fittings | Threaded rods, clevises, ball studs – brass, steel, stainless |
| Operating Envelope | Designed for your temperature, load, vibration, or routing zone |

Example: Replacing a Clutch Cable on a Shuttle Bus
A shuttle bus operator approached Phidix with this requirement:
• Needed a clutch cable with 3/8-24 threaded ends,
• 18.5" conduit length and 2.75" stroke,
• Fit within a tight under-dash routing area,
• Operate reliably at 90°C ambient temperature.
Phidix supplied a matched cable using:
• Nylon-coated steel core
• PP/HD plastic conduit
• Threaded UNF rod ends
• Double-sealed boots for dust ingress protection
Result: The system achieved lower pedal effort, zero slack, and a
projected service life of over 100,000 cycles.
Clutch Cable Engineering Fitment Guide
| Element | Description / Custom Range |
