Engineered for Demanding Applications
Whether you're designing a manual park brake system, implementing a remote mechanical disconnect, or building a cable-based safety lockout, Phidix Pull-Only Brake Cables ensure control where it matters most. With up to 3000 lb of tensile capacity, precision-braided innermember cores, and durable conduit reinforcement, they provide confidence in critical actuation environments.
Product Family Overview: 1500 Series vs 3000 Series
1500 Series: Compact Strength for Light to Mid-Load Systems
• Ultimate Load: 1500 lb
• Min. Bend Radius: 5"
• Innermember: 0.125" dia, 1x19 steel strand, nylon coated
• Conduit: 0.17" dia plastic liner + steel flat wire wrap + plastic cover
• Best Fit: Compact commercial equipment, light-duty vehicles, trailer brakes
3000 Series: Maximum Load for Heavy-Duty Applications
• Ultimate Load: 3000 lb
• Min. Bend Radius: 7"
• Innermember: 0.187" dia, 1x37 steel strand, nylon coated
• Conduit: 0.24" dia plastic liner + steel flat wire wrap + plastic cover
• Best Fit: Construction machines, mining rigs, large trucks, industrial locks
Key Features That Define Performance
• High Load Transmission: Mechanical efficiency under high-tension scenarios without deformation
• Low Deflection Design: Ensures responsive braking with minimal backlash or elasticity
• Flexible Routing: Tight bend radius enables easy routing through constrained assemblies
• Durability Under Stress: Steel core + sealed conduit withstands abrasion, moisture, and thermal fluctuation
• Installation Simplicity: Available in pre-assembled or configurable kits for rapid integration
Typical Applications
• Parking Brakes: Manual brake actuation in forklifts, utility carts, off-highway vehicles
• Pull-to-Disconnect Systems: Remote mechanical disconnects for emergency or maintenance shut-o
• Dual Pull Cable Systems: Push-pull or dual brake systems with cable-based linkage
• Mechanical Locking Devices: Cable-actuated locks for trailers, hatches, or PTO units
Why cables over hydraulics or electronics? In environments with vibration, weather extremes, or safety-critical manual overrides, pull-only brake cables deliver unmatched simplicity and reliability.

FAQ
Q: What makes a Pull-Only Brake Cable different from push-pull cables?
A: It is optimized solely for tensile force (pull direction), ensuring stronger construction and simpler actuation.
Q: How do I decide between the 1500 and 3000 series?
A: Consider the required pulling force, available routing space, and application environment. The 1500 is compact; the 3000 handles heavier loads.
Q: Are these cables suitable for cold or hot weather use?
A: Yes, the sealed design and material resilience allow operation across temperature fluctuations.
Q: Can I specify my own end fittings and cable length?
A: Absolutely. Phidix provides tailored cable assemblies per your needs.
