Stainless Steel Control Cable for Buses and Heavy-Duty Gear Systems
Built for Transit Durability, Engineered for Precision
Phidix’s stainless steel pull-only cable combines corrosion resistance with consistent mechanical response—ideal for gear shifting, lockout, and throttle control in commercial vehicles exposed to:
• Constant vibration
• Road spray and salt fog
• Cabin heat or engine compartment temperatures
• High-cycle actuation in fleet use
Designed for long service life with minimal maintenance.
Common Transit Applications
• Gear shift linkage in city buses and long-haul trucks
• Parking brake cable in coach and shuttle vehicles
• Emergency release and interlock disengagement
• HVAC damper control and compartment latches
Whether used to shift, release, or engage, this cable maintains its function under repeated use and harsh conditions.
