Cable Assemblies
Cable assemblies are fittings which are attached to the wire rope that grip the rope and allow the tensile load to be transferred into the fitting. This in turn allows the load to be transferred to the point of attachment on the machine or equipment. The result is an effective transfer of tensile forces from the rope through the fitting and into the point of attachment.
Cable assemblies are used in many applications. Some examples include mining equipment, braking systems, hood latch releases, bucket levelers, x-ray equipment, hospital beds, and lift back restraints. A wide variety of industries utilize cable assemblies such as the automotive, trucking, agriculture, construction, marine, and aerospace industries.
