In mechanical systems that require discrete gear shifting, mode switching, or locking actuation, Phidix’s Pull-Only Tension Cables offer a lightweight, reliable, and customizable alternative to rigid rods or linkage bars. These cables are particularly suited for lever-operated or panel-actuated controls that require precise one-way pull motion to trigger mechanical engagement.
Phidix gear change cables are commonly used in systems where a lever, knob, or pedal is pulled to:
| Feature | Benefit |
| One-way motion | Reliable trigger with low backlash |
| Flexible routing | No need for direct line-of-sight like rods |
| Lightweight construction | Ideal for compact, mobile, or space-constrained systems |
| Customizable ends | Threaded or grooved for levers, knobs, clevises |
| Field-serviceable | Easy to remove, reroute, or adjust in use |
These cables allow gear-type movements without heavy linkage hardware, and can be tailored to your mounting position, stroke, and control interface.
Depending on your control hardware, the following end combinations are typically used:
| End A | End B | Gear Control Use |
| Threaded | Grooved | Panel switch to lever arm |
| Grooved | Grooved | Knob to gearbox cam release |
| Threaded | Threaded | Through-panel knob to lockout bracket |
Let us know the mounting setup, travel length, and control direction—we’ll configure the right pull-only gear actuation cable for your system.
