Overview

Hindle Controls are able to manufacture any style Morse Cable from a drawing or sample you may have.

A Morse cable is a type of flexible mechanical control cable used to transmit motion or force between two points. It was originally developed by the Morse Chain Company (hence the name) and is commonly found in machinery, vehicles, and marine applications.

In short, a Morse cable is a versatile remote-control linkage, allowing operators to control mechanical functions from a distance with precision and reliability.

Features

  • Construction: It typically consists of an inner wire or core (which carries the push or pull force) and an outer casing or conduit (which guides and protects the core).
  • Motion Transfer: The inner wire can either push and pull (for throttle, clutch, or gear shift controls) or just pull (like a brake cable on a bicycle).
  • Flexibility: It can bend around obstacles, making it useful where rigid linkages would be impractical.
  • Durability: Designed to withstand friction, corrosion, and wear, often with lubrication or liners inside the casing.
