Features & Construction Core Constructions High Performance (HP) 1 x 7 coated core is available in 3, 4 and 6 Series cables. HP Core uses a proprietary coating over 1 x 7 wire rope. This construction offers improved flexibility and higher push loads than armor core construction. Solid stainless steel cores are available in 3 Series push-pull, universal, positive lock and PTO cables. Tension cables use a 1 x 19 HP coated core, while 8 Series push-pull remains armor core. Stranded Conduit Multiple oil tempered spring wires are placed in a long lay pattern to protect the liner and inner core, maintain flexibility and withstand extreme compressive and tensile loads. This long lay construction results in minimal deflections during cable operation, assuring precise controlling action to the operator. Seals & Boots High Performance seals are now standard! Durable custom compounded seals are used to prevent moisture and contaminants from entering the cable. The new High Performance seals outperform all previous seals and are now standard on all cables. The HP seals operate in all temperature extremes, while offering improved performance and efficiency. Tension cables use a durable tear-resistant silicone boot, designed for high cycle use and high temperature. Liners All Felsted  brand cables use polymer liners, available in standard HP cable construction at –65 to +225°F (–54 to +107°C) and HEFT 2 high temperature version at –65 to +300°F  (–54 to +149°C). Factory lubrication provides optimum core performance without requiring further service. ® Note: With quick disconnect control head cables, though the conduit/core may be rated to +225°F or +300°F, the control head itself is not intended for these temperature ranges. Conduit Jacket Heavy duty, thick-walled polymer jackets are extruded onto the stranded liner for maximum cable strength. Standard HP cable material is polymer molded to a dark maroon color. HEFT 2  jacket, used in high temperature applications, is a nylon based material molded to a satin black color.  End Fittings Corrosion-resistant materials are used throughout to provide maximum life. Standard 3, 4 and 6 Series rods and sleeves are 300 series stainless steel, while hubs are either stainless or aluminum. The 8 Series rods are stainless steel. Sleeves and hubs are aluminum with stainless steel options available for both. Rod & Sleeve Bearing An exclusive polymer rod and sleeve bearing is used to improve efficiency, sealing and cable life by preventing metal-to-metal contact between the rod and sleeve. They also accurately align the rod with the seal to further ensure superior sealing and a longer cable life.
