Miniature Cables

Microlin and Posilign miniature cable was developed for applications in which maximum flexibility, durability, and corrosion resistance are required within confined spaces. Critical applications such as medical devices, electronics, aircraft interiors as well as many others have benefited from miniature cable and assemblies manufactured by Bergen Cable.
Miniature Cables

Microlin:

Microlin cable is available in diameters ranging from .010” to .048” with breaking strengths of up to 175 pounds. Microlin is offered bare or nylon jacketed for improved durability. We also offer a complete line of off the shelf end fittings for cable assemblies. The miniature diameters and materials of Microlin cable allow it to be routed around bulkheads or obstructions with ease while maintaining high flexibility and fatigue resistance.

Posilign:

In addition to providing the same benefits as Microlin cable, Posilign offers the elimination of constructional stretch, allowing minimal elongation while under load. Removing constructional stretch assists with more accurate adjustment and minimal secondary adjustment to cable assemblies.

Miniature Cables for Compact, High-Precision Applications

Miniature cable technology is essential in systems where space is limited, motion must be controlled precisely, and long term durability is non negotiable. Bergen Cable’s miniature cable solutions are engineered for environments where traditional wire rope is too large, too rigid, or unable to meet the performance requirements of sensitive equipment. These assemblies support applications across medical devices, electronics, aerospace interiors, and other industries that rely on compact, flexible, and corrosion resistant motion components.

Engineered for Flexibility and Tight Routing

Miniature cables must navigate complex paths, sharp bends, and confined spaces without sacrificing strength or fatigue resistance. Bergen Cable’s miniature cable families are designed to maintain smooth motion transfer even when routed around obstructions or integrated into intricate mechanical systems. Their small diameters and high performance materials make them ideal for precision mechanisms, micro actuation systems, and lightweight assemblies.

Microlin Miniature Cable Solutions

Microlin cables offer exceptional flexibility and strength in extremely small diameters. Available in multiple size ranges, these cables can be supplied bare or with protective nylon jacketing to enhance abrasion resistance and extend service life. Their construction allows for reliable performance in applications where repeated motion, tight radii, and long term durability are essential. Microlin assemblies can also be paired with a wide selection of standard miniature end fittings for fast, cost effective integration.

Posilign Miniature Cable Solutions

Posilign cables build on the advantages of Microlin while adding a key performance benefit: the elimination of constructional stretch. This feature minimizes elongation under load, enabling more accurate adjustment and reducing the need for secondary tuning during installation or operation. Posilign is ideal for applications where precise positioning, stable tension, and consistent mechanical response are important.

Built for Precision, Reliability, and Long-Term Use

Both Microlin and Posilign miniature cables are engineered to withstand demanding environments while delivering smooth, predictable motion. Their corrosion resistant materials, fatigue resistant construction, and compact form factor make them a trusted choice for OEMs seeking dependable miniature cable assemblies.
