FDA TSK HI-LEX control cables are available in four basic load capacities and two basic materials. The standard grade control is made utilising carbon steel terminations components adequately plated to resist corrosion for normal industrial and Automotive-applications. All controls feature stainless steel rod ends and Deluxe grade controls feature stainless steel or combination of Stainless Steel and brass fittings making them suitable for most corrosive environments. Each size is available in a variety of mounting patterns and stroke lengths.

F.D.A. TSK Hilex control cables offer an exceptionally high level of efficiency brought about by the use of specially compounded plastic materials including a patented “oil inclusion” process to provide lifetime lubrication of the sliding members. Careful sealing of the finished assemblycombined with the self-lubricating properties of the plastic material ensure life long service free of maintenance.

FDA TSK HI-LEX control cable materials are manufactured to exacting standards and assembled under stringent quality control requirements. These requirements, together with the high strength factors of the long lay spring steel casing and core, minimise the lost motion effect and sponginess common to some other control cable designs.

FDA TSK HI-LEX control cables provide a flexible means of transmitting motion and permit the by-passing of obstructions, together with flexibility of pivot points such as those used on tilt cabs as well as the ability to absorb vibrations.

Careful attention has been given to the assembly design of FDA TSK HI-LEX controls to ensure the exclusion of moisture, dust and other abrasive elements. This, coupled with the special lubrication materials, ensures dependability throughout the long life of the control cable. Particular attention has been given to the sealing of the rods and guide pipe.

FDA TSK H I-LEX control cables feature, as a standard design with both the bulk head and clamp type end fittings, a swivel joint which will provide an 8 deg. deflection in any direction. This feature offsets the effects of angular misalignment resulting from lever arc movement.

All F.D.A. TSK Hilex control cables feature high quality stainless push rods. Deluxe grade controls have all Stainless or a combination of Stainless Steel and Brass terminations. Standard grade materials have either “Dacromet” surface finish or Zinc/Chromate plated finish to withstand severe corrosion from normal environments.
