Cable series the basis of Remote Control System Our cable series are offered in five sizes. In the standard version, three end part configurations are designed. There are six different types of tra- vel, which can be combined with three different seals. A multitude of additional possibilities for configuration and variation in the setup of the cables are possible in order to create a solution that fits to the respective application.

Selection of cable sizes Cable sizes, maximum travel, bend radii, seals, thread rod ends, outer diameter of conduits and push and pull forces depending on the travel Cable sizes, maximum travel, bend radii, seals, thread rod ends and outer diameter of conduit Cable size Bend radius for cable series Outer diameter of conduit for cable series 383/384 Push and pull forces depending on the travel The specified forces are applicable for use in permanent operation with a long service life. A safety factor of 1.5 can be used to calculate the temporary overloads. Pull forces diagram 4 000 Push...

Selection of cable sizes Efficiencies Efficiencies The efficiency of a push/pull cable (the relation of the required cable operating force to a given output force) is particularly influenced by the number of bends laid in the cable. The cable operating force can be calculated in accordance with the following formula: Operating force = Output force x Efficiency factor α is the sum of all cable bends in degrees. In addition to the cable bends, the cable length is to be taken into consideration with 15° for every 1 meter. Example of efficiency factor Cable series Cable size Cable length Sum of...

Codes of practice and health and safety regulations Codes of practice • Do not install push/pull cables in any applications, which may exceed the design parameters of the cable. • Cables that have moisture inside or are frozen should be replaced. Do not apply heat to remove moisture. • Do not remove seals! RCS® cables cannot be disassembled! • Protect cables from physical damage such as bending, crushing, heavy vibration and from contamination such as moisture, dirt or chemicals. Do not paint ends! • RCS® push/pull cables are designed and lubricated for optimum performance and life; under...

Assembly information If a push/pull cable is connected to a lever that describes an arc, it should be adjusted at the right angle to half travel position and half the height of the segmental arc of the lever. Swiveled endings (connection types G and T) allow for an arc from centerline of ± 8° all way around. (Push/Pull Cables with swiveled end) For linear movement only (e.g. spool valves) accurate alignment of both planes of the cable and the object to be controlled is necessary! (Push/Pull Cables with swiveled end) Only correct installation and layout of push/pull cables assure proper...
