Push-pull control cables are widely used in mechanical systems where force and motion must be transmitted in both directions—not just pulling, but also pushing. Unlike conventional pull-only cables such as Bowden cables, push-pull systems are designed for dual-action control, ensuring consistent operation whether you’re extending or retracting, opening or closing.
At the heart of every push-pull cable lies its most critical component: the push-pull inner wire. This push pull cable core is what makes two-way force transmission possible. It’s specifically designed to handle both tensile (pulling) and compressive (pushing) loads with high stability and minimal deformation.
Unlike flexible wire ropes that rely on tension only, a push pull inner cable must remain stiff enough to transmit compressive force, yet still retain enough flexibility to route through curved housings. That’s why the structure matters.
We manufacture high-performance push-pull inner wires featuring a unique layered design:
A central high-carbon manganese steel wire provides rigidity and push-resistance
It’s wrapped with precision-wound outer steel wires for added tensile strength and durability
Available structures include 1+12, 1+13, 1+14, 1+15, and 1+16+15, where “1” is the central core and the surrounding numbers refer to the outer strands (single or double-layer)
This engineered construction gives the inner wire excellent column strength for pushing, and high tensile strength for pulling—making it a reliable choice in any dual-direction control system.
Whether it’s referred to as a push-pull inner wire, two-way control cable core, or simply a compression and tension cable wire, this component is what keeps the entire control cable functioning smoothly and responsively.
