Brake Control That Doesn’t Freeze or Fail: Phidix Pull-Only Cable
for Extreme Temperatures
In industrial applications where freezing cold or scorching heat is
the norm, standard brake cables may deform, seize, or degrade over
time. The Phidix Extreme Temperature Pull-Only Brake Control Cable is
engineered to deliver consistent, precise performance across
challenging thermal ranges.
Designed for temperature-critical environments, this version
retains all the mechanical strength and low-deflection benefits of
our core 1500/3000 series while optimizing for durability in
temperature extremes.
Built to Withstand the Heat and the Cold
• Temperature Range: Designed to perform reliably in conditions from -54°C up to
+110°C
• Material Integrity: Steel strand core with enhanced nylon coating resists
embrittlement and deformation
• Thermal Sealing: End fittings and conduit interfaces are designed to resist
moisture ingress and thermal cycling fatigue
• Consistent Deflection: Maintains low-deflection actuation even after prolonged exposure
to heat or subzero temperatures
• Proven Reliability: These cables have been tested and proven to retain flexibility
and structural integrity even under long-term thermal stress.
Certified and field-validated for harsh climate use.
Where Performance in Any Climate Matters
• Cold Storage Vehicles: Forklifts or utility carts operating inside freezing warehouses
• Outdoor Control Systems: Trailer brake or latch systems in snow-prone regions
• Engine Bay or Radiator Zones: High-temperature areas near internal combustion engines
• Coastal or Offshore Equipment: Marine-grade brake actuation exposed to temperature swings and
salt air
In many of these scenarios, a traditional control cable could
seize, crack, or lose responsiveness. Phidix offers a purpose-built solution for such demanding thermal
environments.
Core Construction at a Glance
• Inner Wire: High-strength 1x19 (1500 series) or 1x37 (3000 series) galvanized
steel strand
• Protective Coating: Modified nylon sheath rated for thermal expansion/contraction
• Conduit: Steel flat wire wound over plastic liner, with heat-resistant
outer jacket
• Ends: Optional clevis or threaded rod configurations, thermally sealed
Optional enhancements like stainless steel conduit or custom seals
are available for marine or chemical exposure.
Installation Notes
• This cable is pull-only, not suitable for push-pull
configurations
• When routing in heated zones, avoid direct contact with exhaust
manifolds or unshielded heating elements
• For subzero installs, allow for minimal bend radius and specify
anti-condensation seals
