Bowden Cables & Control Cables

Send the cable dimensions, end fittings, housing details, part number, photo or sample information you have. We use the RFQ to narrow the actual requirement before pricing.

WHAT WE CAN REVIEW

Cable and mechanical-control sourcing

Bowden-style mechanical control cables use a flexible outer housing with an inner cable or wire to transmit pull or push-pull motion. Requests can involve replacement assemblies, housing, ferrules, end fittings or application-specific cable details.

  • Replacement control cables for equipment and machinery
  • Cable/housing requests based on an existing sample or drawing
  • Ferrule and end-fitting information when part geometry matters
  • Quantity-based sourcing for maintenance or repeat requirements

SPECIFICATION

Details that help us quote correctly

The cable length alone is rarely enough. These details reduce back-and-forth and help prevent a visually similar but technically incorrect match.

Overall / functional length

State exactly how length is being measured and whether the dimension applies to the housing, inner cable or complete assembly.

Housing

Outside diameter, construction, liner information and any required bend or environment considerations if known.

Inner cable

Diameter, material or coating requirement if specified, and whether the application is pull-only or push-pull.

End fittings

Photos, drawings and dimensions for threaded ends, nipples, clevises, ferrules, bulkhead fittings or other terminations.

Application

Equipment type, motion required, travel, load and environmental exposure can be important when no direct part number exists.

Quantity & timing

Required quantity, repeat-order expectation and required-by date affect sourcing and pricing.

PRICING

Pricing is quoted to the actual requirement.

Bowden/control cable pricing is quoted by specification, quantity, required terminations, sourcing availability and delivery timing. Submit the requirement for current pricing.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

What measurements do you need for a Bowden cable quote?

At minimum, provide clear length references, housing outside diameter, inner cable diameter and end-fitting details. A photo beside a ruler or caliper can help, but drawings or measured dimensions are better.

Can you make an exact replacement from a photo?

A photo can start the conversation, but it may not establish functional length, cable construction, load or fitting dimensions. We may request additional measurements or a manufacturer reference.

Can I request one cable or a production quantity?

Submit the quantity you actually need. Availability, minimum order quantities and pricing depend on the specification and sourcing route.

Do you publish a fixed cable price?

No. Cable assemblies can vary substantially in length, housing, wire, end fittings and quantity. Use Request Pricing for a current quote.

What if I only know the equipment model?

Include the equipment manufacturer, model, serial information if relevant, photos of the installed cable and any markings. That may provide a better starting point for identification.
