Description

How to Select the Right Inner Wire Core for Mechanical Control Cables

Choosing the correct strand configuration for your inner wire core is critical for ensuring optimal cable performance, durability, and user experience. At Phidix, we help engineers, designers, and OEMs align cable core structures with specific mechanical, spatial, and environmental demands.


This guide will walk you through the pros, cons, and ideal uses for each major construction type.


Strand Configuration Comparison Table

Construction Flexibility Push Performance Bend Radius Application Suitability
1x7 Low Excellent Large Long straight runs, rigid cable routing
1x19 Medium Very Good Medium Precision push-pull actuation
7x7 High Medium Tight Versatile routing, good tensile/flex combo
7x19 Very High Lower Very Tight High-flex routing, complex motion paths
Solid Core None Best Rigid only Short travel, direct motion transfer


Factors to Consider When Selecting Core Type

1. Routing Complexity
• Tight bends or curves prefer 7x19 or 7x7
• Straight, fixed paths → 1x7 or solid core

2. Motion Type
• Pure push or pull solid core or 1x19
• Repetitive flexing → 7x19 preferred

3. Force Transfer Priority
• Higher compressive stiffness solid or 1x7
• Balanced tension + flex → 7x7

4. Environment
• High corrosion risk Choose SUS 316L options
• Friction-sensitive systems Use PTFE-coated 1x19 or 7x7

Application Scenarios & Structure Fit

Application Recommended Core Type(s)
Motorcycle Throttle Cable 1x19 / 7x7
Marine Control Levers 7x7 / 7x19
Industrial Damper Actuators Solid / 1x7
Commercial Recliner Seat Release 7x19
Small Engine Choke Cables 1x7 / 1x19
