Phidix Pull-Only T-Flex Control Cable: Built to Withstand, Engineered to Flex
For industrial systems that demand reliable linear actuation under tension-only loads, the Phidix Pull-Only T-Flex Cable offers a performance-optimized solution—combining high tensile strength, low deflection, and a durable multi-layer conduit design.
This series is purpose-built to operate in environments where space is limited, loads are repetitive, and uptime is non-negotiable.
Trusted in clutch systems, throttle actuation, brake lockouts, and engine stop mechanisms—T-Flex is engineered to perform where conventional cables can't keep up.
What Makes T-Flex Different
| Feature | Standard Pull-Only Cable | Phidix T-Flex Series |
| Conduit Design | Single-layer steel wrap | Dual-layer compressed flat wire wrap |
| Protective Sheath | PVC only | PP, PVC, or bare options available |
| Inner Liner | None or standard plastic | Optional high-density PP liner for low friction |
| Application Fit | General braking or locking | High-cycle motion control with routing complexity |
| Customization | Basic end fittings | Threaded rod, clevis, ball/socket, dashboard mounts |
Internal Structure & Motion Control Integrity
• Innermember: High-strength galvanized or tinned steel multi-strand cable, available in 0.078" to 0.188" diameters.
• Conduit Construction: Multiple steel wire configurations with optional high-density inner liners.
• Outer Sheath: Choice of PVC or polypropylene jacket; or no outer sheath for chassis-integrated protection.
• Motion Characteristics: Low deflection, excellent bend performance, low friction pull stroke.
This cable assembly is not designed for compression—pull only.
Typical Applications
• Clutch Cables – Heavy-duty truck or marine disengagement systems
• Engine Kill Switch Lines – Manual fuel or ignition shutoff
• Throttle Pull Lines – Mechanical regulation on gensets and mobile hydraulics
• Lockout & Disconnect Mechanisms – Emergency stop interlocks or latch systems
• Industrial Equipment Routing – Linear cable systems with complex routing geometry
Build Options & Component Flexibility
Inner Core
• Steel strand: 1x7, 1x19, or armored core
• Coated or bare, depending on environmental need
Liner

FAQs
Q: Can the T-Flex cable be used in push-pull systems?
A: No, this series is strictly pull-only by design.
Q: What if I need higher temp resistance or chemical tolerance?
A: Use the PP-jacket version or contact us for jacketless configurations.
Q: Can I get a version with dashboard knob actuator?
A: Yes. Threaded or snap-fit knob interfaces are available upon request.
Q: How do I specify length and end fittings?
A: Refer to our A (total length) and L (travel length) sizing sheet. Our team can assist.
