Phidix Industrial Vent Control Cable – Rotary-to-Linear, Non-Locking Assembly
In compact mechanical systems where space is limited but reliable actuation is essential—such as HVAC vent controls or heater valve operation—Phidix’s non-locking rotary control cable assembly provides a clean, mechanical solution. Designed to convert a 270° manual rotation into 1.5" of linear push-pull travel, it is ideal for vent actuation in industrial vehicles, off-road equipment, and specialty machinery.
This unit combines stainless steel inner wire, brass shafting, and high-performance plastics, delivering consistent performance even in environments with vibration, temperature fluctuation, or dust.

FAQ
Q1: Is this cable suitable for outdoor/off-road use?
Yes. The plastic conduit and stainless steel wire resist moisture, dust, and corrosion.
Q2: Can I specify actuation direction?
Yes. Choose clockwise or counterclockwise rotation for the “extend” motion.
Q3: Can this be mounted on panels?
Yes. The head features a 7/16-28 UNEF threaded body with two flats for secure mounting.
Q4: Does Phidix support custom lengths and terminations?
Absolutely. We specialize in OEM and custom assemblies with short lead times.
