Control Cable Accessory U Fork—Reliable End Connection Component
【 Product Description 】
This U fork fitting serves as a critical connection component for
control cable assemblies, providing a robust link between cables
and driven components. Manufactured with tight tolerances, the
fork’s U-shaped design allows for smooth articulation while
maintaining consistent power transmission. Available in stainless
steel or high-strength alloy steel, it resists wear, rust, and environmental damage—perfect for both
indoor and outdoor applications such as marine controls, medical
equipment, and recreational vehicle systems.

performance
【 Working Principle 】
The U fork acts as a mechanical coupling between a flexible shaft
and the actuator or device it controls. The fork’s prongs securely
hold the shaft end, allowing linear or rotational motion to be
transmitted efficiently. When the flexible shaft rotates or moves,
the U-fork ensures smooth transfer of motion to the connected
component, enabling accurate remote control of mechanical systems.
【 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 】
Q1: Can the U-Fork be customized for different shaft sizes?
Yes, the width, thickness, and mounting holes can all be customized
according to application needs.
Q2: What materials are available?
Standard options include stainless steel and high-strength alloy
steel, with corrosion-resistant surface treatments.
Q3: Which industries commonly use this accessory?
Automotive, industrial machinery, marine equipment, agricultural,
and construction industries frequently use U-shaped forks.
Q4: How does it attach to the flexible shaft?
The shaft fits securely between the prongs of the fork and is fixed
using pins, screws, or bolts depending on the design.
Q5: Can it withstand harsh environments?
Yes, with corrosion-resistant coatings and high-strength materials,
it can operate reliably in outdoor or marine environments.
