Setup and description of push/pull cables Setup A flat wire-reinforced inner member is located in a conduit, which is formed by an inner-lying inner tube and specially arranged longitudinal wires (linear wire stranding). The linear wires on the other hand (with the exception of types 770) are supported and fixed by a support wire winding. A plastic extrusion is doing the outer coverage of the conduit. For the universal connection of elements, the inner member and conduit are supported with pressed on zinc-coated or stainless steel end parts. The push/pull cables are designed lightly gliding and...

RINGSPANN* Efficiencies The efficiency of a push/pull cable (the relation of the required cable operating force to a given output force) is particularly influenced by the number of bends laid in the cable. The cable operating force can be calculated in accordance with the following formula: Operating force = Output force x Efficiency factor a is the sum of all cable bends in degrees. In addition to the cable bends, the cable length is to be taken into consideration with 15° for every 1 meter. Example of efficiency factor Cable series Cable size Cable length Sum of bends alpha Efficiency factor...

• Do not install push/pull cables in any applications, which may exceed the design parameters of the cable. • Do not remove seals! RCS® cables cannot be disassembled! • RCS® push/pull cables are designed and lubricated for optimum performance and life; under no circumstances should you re-lubricate or attempt any other kind of maintenance. • Cables that have moisture inside or are frozen should be replaced. Do not apply heat to remove moisture. • Protect cables from physical damage such as bending, crushing, heavy vibration and from contamination such as moisture, dirt or chemicals. Do not paint...

Assembly information Connection to a lever If a push/pull cable is connected to a lever that describes an arc, it should be adjusted at the right angle to half travel position and half the height of the segmental arc of the lever. Swiveled endings (connection types G and T) allow for an arc from centerline of ± 8° all way around. (Push/Pull Cables with swiveled end) Alignment of the end parts For linear movement only (e.g. spool valves) accurate alignment of both planes of the cable and the object to be controlled is necessary! (Push/Pull Cables with swiveled end) Fastening the cables Only correct...
