Aerospace Cable Assemblies for Precision & Reliability

/ News
In the high-stakes aerospace industry, aerospace cable assemblies are critical for ensuring the safety, performance, and reliability of aircraft systems. At Bergen Cable, we provide custom aerospace cable assemblies that meet the rigorous demands of both commercial and military aviation. With over 80 years of expertise, we deliver aircraft cable solutions that power flight controls, landing gear, and more. Learn how Bergen Cable stands out as a trusted aerospace cable assembly manufacturer.

What Are Aerospace Cable Assemblies?

Aerospace cable assemblies are specialized mechanical systems that transmit motion, force, or electrical signals in aircraft. These assemblies, including aircraft control cables, push-pull cables, and miniature cable assemblies, are designed to withstand extreme conditions like high vibration, temperature fluctuations, and corrosion. Bergen Cable manufactures MIL-SPEC aircraft cables using materials like stainless steel, galvanized steel, and Inconel, ensuring flexibility, strength, and durability for critical applications.

Key Benefits of Bergen Cable’s Aerospace Cable Assemblies Solutions

1. Precision Engineering for Flight Control Systems

Aerospace cable assemblies from Bergen Cable are engineered for precision in flight control systems, including rudders, ailerons, and elevators. Our MIL-SPEC aircraft control cables meet rigid standards, offering lightweight, flexible, and strong solutions for seamless aircraft operation. With custom aircraft cable assemblies, we ensure exact specifications for applications like emergency systems and landing gear, enhancing safety for pilots and passengers.

2. Miniature Cables for Tight Spaces

In aerospace interiors, space is often limited. Bergen Cable’s miniature cable assemblies, such as Microlin™ (diameters .010” to .048”, breaking strengths up to 175 lbs) and Posilign™ (minimally elongating), are designed for tight locations. These aerospace miniature cables provide elasticity, sturdiness, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for cabin systems and avionics.

3. Durability in Harsh Environments

Aerospace environments expose cables to extreme conditions. Bergen Cable uses advanced manufacturing techniques like rotary swaging and CNC machining to produce durable aircraft cable assemblies. Our LockClad cable assemblies, approved per MIL-DTL-87218, reduce stretch, eliminate sag, and dampen vibration, ensuring longevity in applications like aircraft control cables passing through bulkheads.

4. Rapid Prototyping and Customization

Bergen Cable excels in custom aerospace cable solutions, offering quick-turn prototyping to meet unique requirements. From push-pull control cables for precise motion in confined spaces to custom end fittings like eyelets and threaded studs, we collaborate with your team to design assemblies that fit perfectly. Our FEA analysis ensures optimized performance for both commercial and military applications.

5. Compliance and Quality Assurance

As an AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer, Bergen Cable adheres to the highest industry standards. We hold multiple Boeing Quality Awards (2008 Silver, 2010 Gold, 2011-2015 Silver) and are trusted by leading aerospace OEMs. Our aerospace cable assemblies undergo rigorous testing, including pull tests up to 22,500 lbs, ensuring reliability in mission-critical applications.
