How to Identify Push-Pull Cables


Your goal is to determine the information required to make up the ordering code or part number. An example of a typical ordering code is 173-VTG-3-144.

173 - V   TG - 3 - 144

Step 1:
Determine the "duty" (size) of the cable by the diameter and threads of the end rods.
V = 10�32, L = 1/4�28, M = 5/16�24, H = 3/8�24. (Very light duty; Light duty; Medium duty; Heavy duty)

Step 2:
Determine the type of conduit end fittings (conduit caps) for left end and right end.
T = Threaded, G = Grooved. TT, GG or TG combinations.

Step 3:
Determine the travel of the end rod. 1" through 6" in one inch increments.


Step 4:
Determine the overall length of the cable.

Step 5:
Determine cable materials depending on usage and conditions. See details of 173, 174, 175 Utility and 313, 314, 315 Low-Friction EXT.

Utility: �The Rugged Gray Cable,� is the industry standard and is designed for a long life under rugged conditions (173, 174, 175).

Low-Friction � EXT: �The Green Cable,� is the proper cable to use when superior efficiency is required. The extruded nylon cover over the innermember works extremely smoothly with the poly liner (313, 314, 315).

See Push-Pull Cables section to determine part number.
