Stainless Steel Control Cable for Buses and Heavy-Duty Gear Systems
Built for Transit Durability, Engineered for Precision
Phidix’s stainless steel pull-only cable combines corrosion resistance with consistent mechanical response—ideal for gear shifting, lockout, and throttle control in commercial vehicles exposed to:
• Constant vibration
• Road spray and salt fog
• Cabin heat or engine compartment temperatures
• High-cycle actuation in fleet use
Designed for long service life with minimal maintenance.
Common Transit Applications
• Gear shift linkage in city buses and long-haul trucks
• Parking brake cable in coach and shuttle vehicles
• Emergency release and interlock disengagement
• HVAC damper control and compartment latches
Whether used to shift, release, or engage, this cable maintains its function under repeated use and harsh conditions.
Why Stainless Steel? (with Engineering Context)
| Advantage | Impact in Transit Systems |
| Corrosion resistance | Resists moisture, de-icing agents, and chemical vapor |
| Long life span | Designed for daily, high-cycle use without degradation |
| Sealed & lubricated core | Prevents internal friction or seizure—“lubed-for-life” system |
| Heat tolerance | Withstands engine bay conditions without jacket softening or warping |
| Low-backlash performance | Maintains precise movement over time, even under vibration |
| Maintenance reduction | Prevents rust and sticking at exposed mounting points |
