Pull-Only Control Cable for Drilling & Oilfield Environments
Built for the Harshest Conditions
When deployed in energy, petrochemical, or drilling equipment,
control cables must withstand:
• Continuous vibration
• Heavy dirt and fluid contamination
• Salt spray, washdowns, or corrosive agents
• Temperature fluctuations from freezing to heat soak
Phidix’s sealed pull-only cable solution is engineered for exactly
these conditions.
Key Construction Features
• Sealed Conduit System
Prevents intrusion of sand, water, or grease
• Lubricated-for-Life Inner Core
Reliable pull feel even after extended exposure
• Corrosion-Resistant Fittings
Brass or stainless steel caps and ends available
• Modular Routing Adaptability
Can be shaped and mounted in tight, confined systems
Example Use Case: Manual Brake Engagement
This cable type is frequently used to engage hand brakes or
hydraulic lockouts in:
• Truck-mounted coiled tubing units
• Portable control stations for wellhead maintenance
• Oilfield skids where exposure to dust, oil, and temperature is
constant
In many cases, it replaces rigid rods or electrical systems that
fail in vibration-heavy environments.
Application Environments
| Industry / Equipment | Typical Use Case |
