Blue Max™ High-Performance Control Cable
For Tight Routing, High Load, and Harsh Environments
Engineered for the most demanding applications, the Blue Max™
push-pull control cable delivers exceptional performance in
routing-limited, high-temperature, and corrosive environments. With its ultra-flexible 4" minimum bend radius and low-friction
PTFE lining, it enables smooth and reliable motion control where
traditional cables fail.
Whether you're integrating into off-highway machinery, marine
controls, or military-grade equipment, Blue Max™ ensures consistent
motion, reduced backlash, and maximum service life — even under
heavy load and extreme routing complexity.

When to Choose Blue Max™
Blue Max™ is not your typical control cable. It’s built for motion systems that:
• Require tight-radius bends without compromising stroke
• Operate in harsh conditions (heat, cold, vibration, fluids)
• Face high-duty cycles with thousands of repeated motions
• Demand ultra-low friction to prevent hand fatigue or actuation
lag
Ideal industries:
Construction machinery, marine throttle systems, rail vehicles,
mining equipment, emergency vehicle controls, and aerospace ground
systems.
Cable Core:
The Blue Max™ control cable uses a stainless steel stranded core matched to its 3" stroke and 4" bend radius. The core slides
within a PTFE liner, ensuring low-friction and extended service life under tight
routing conditions.
Depending on application load and motion type, other strand
constructions (e.g., solid wire or multi-strand) may be offered as
part of OEM customization.
Conduit Construction:
• Inner tube: PTFE
• Reinforcement: steel wire or monocoil wrap
• Outer jacket: LDPE or Nylon, heat/chemical/UV-resistant
All interfaces swaged or threaded per spec, tested for stroke
consistency, linear resistance, and end load capacity.
Custom Options for OEM Systems
We support full customization for:
• Travel length
• Cable housing length
• End termination types (threaded, clevis, trunnion, ball-joint)
• Mounting styles (bulkhead, panel)
• Stroke force optimization (by strand and liner selection)
For OEM developers, we offer 3D models, installation drawings, and
engineering consultation — just send us your system schematic.
Phidix Quality Standards
Blue Max™ is manufactured under strict IATF 16949 and ISO 9001
standards. Each batch undergoes:
• Load stroke testing (0–3") under rated tension
• Friction & hysteresis coefficient check
• Salt spray test (up to 720h for marine use)
• Bend endurance simulation (10,000+ cycles)
