Pull-Only Control Cable for Drilling Equipment – High Durability
for Harsh Environments
In high-vibration and high-contamination environments like drilling
rigs, oilfield skids, and field service trucks, reliable manual
control is critical. Phidix’s Pull-Only Tension Cables offer a durable,
field-configurable alternative to rigid mechanical linkages—ideal
for applications such as emergency hand brake engagement, lockout
devices, or engine control triggers on industrial rigs.
Built for Harsh Drilling Conditions
Designed with rugged sheath options, vibration-resistant mounting
choices, and field-adjustable stroke lengths, this control cable is
engineered to handle the operational abuse found in:
• Oil & gas drilling equipment
• Portable hydraulic power units
• Coil tubing and wireline skids
• Mobile service trailers in mining or heavy construction
Whether mounted through an operator panel or directly routed across
a chassis, it supports secure one-way mechanical actuation without
relying on sensitive electronics.
Industry-Ready Features
| Features | Why It Matters |
| High-flex cable routing | Supports sharp bends in compact control boxes |
| Optional full-metal sheath | Withstands abrasion, heat, and chemical exposure |
| Threaded or grooved end options | Compatible with lever pulls, clevises, brake lockouts |
| Adjustable stroke | Can match braking system or valve engagement travel |
| Easy service access | Replaceable in the field with minimal tools |
Custom materials (stainless, poly-jacket) and dust-sealed boots
available on request.
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.
