MECHANICAL CONTROL-CABLE CASINGS

Control Cable Outer Casing Machines

Form the casing. Add the cover. Prepare the ends.

BOBO supplies machines for winding flexible control-cable casings, applying PVC/PE outer coatings and cutting casing to length. The range includes double-wire winding and a separate cut-and-chamfer model for prepared coated casing. Select the stages needed for your brake, clutch or throttle cable housing.

FIND YOUR MACHINE

Choose the operation and casing construction.

Compare the FX-I and FX-2 winding models with the FX-3D double-wire machine for your casing construction and diameter. Use the coating line to add a plastic outer layer. For prepared casing, choose the QG cutting route or the dedicated cutting-and-chamfering machine when the end drawing requires inner and outer edge work.

PARTS & APPLICATIONS

Layered housings for mechanical control cables

The outer casing guides the moving cable within a mechanical control assembly. Its wound structure, inner liner, outer cover and finished ends need to match the cable design and the next assembly operation.

Lined and covered casing structures

01

Lined and covered casing structures

These examples show a plastic inner liner, wound metal casing and an outer cover. Winding builds the metal structure around a prepared liner; coating adds the outer plastic layer in a separate stage.

Casing cut to assembly length

02

Casing cut to assembly length

Prepared casing is divided into lengths for brake, clutch and throttle cable assemblies. Select the cutting setup around the casing diameter, length and required condition of the cut end.

03

Casing ends for further assembly

The cut-and-chamfer route adds inner-hole and outer-edge preparation to coated casing. Use the end drawing to define the chamfer and the fit needed for subsequent fittings or cable insertion.

SELECTION GUIDE

Specify each layer before selecting each machine.

Begin with a casing section drawing: wire construction, metal casing dimensions, any inner plastic liner and the outer coating. Then define the finished length and end condition. A winding diameter, coated outside diameter and cutting diameter describe different stages of the same part.

01

Define the casing structure

Specify the wire profile and winding arrangement, metal casing dimensions, inner liner and outer cover. Identify whether you start with wire or with an already formed or coated casing.

02

Choose the forming and end operations

Select winding for the metal structure, extrusion coating for the outer cover, and cutting for finished lengths. Add chamfering only where the end drawing calls for inner-hole or outer-edge preparation.

03

Match the supply and transfer arrangements

Review reel or coil dimensions, payoff direction, forming speed, cooling and collection. Plan size changes and dimensional checks across the stages that will be linked.

Plan the transfer between winding, coating and end preparation. Reel capacity, feed direction, processing speed and cooling requirements determine whether stages should be linked or operated separately.

YOUR FINISHED PART

Start with your product drawing.

Include the material, dimensions and acceptance requirements.

From technical review and testing to delivery and after-sales.

Develop the casing route around a section and an end drawing.

BOBO can review the casing structure and incoming materials to define winding tooling, coating dies and cutting or chamfering requirements. Agree trials on the intended wire, liner and prepared casing, with checks for layer dimensions, cut length and end condition. Include reel handling, utilities, changeover and maintenance in the delivery scope.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Before you choose casing production equipment

Separate the casing layers and end operations to avoid specifying the wrong production stage.

Discuss your application

The winding machines can feed an optional pre-made plastic inner hose with the wire. A separate extrusion process produces that liner. BOBO’s PVC/PE coating line applies an outer plastic layer to prepared casing, which is a different task.

Use the casing construction and finished dimensions first. The FX-3D has a double-wire arrangement with separate bobbin, differential and braking mechanisms, while the FX-I and FX-2 serve their own casing specifications. Wire count alone does not establish the casing’s compression performance or the best production rate.

No. The QG machine uses a grinding wheel to cut the casing to length. A separate cutting-and-chamfering model processes the inner hole and outer edge. Specify the end geometry and acceptance checks when chamfers are required for the next assembly step.

They cover different stages and product ranges. A combined arrangement needs compatible casing dimensions, feed speeds, cooling, reel handling and controls. Define the required stages and their transfer interfaces as part of the equipment proposal.

START WITH A DRAWING OR SAMPLE

Send the casing section and finished-end drawing.

Include wire material and profile, winding construction, metal casing inside and outside diameters, liner specification, coating material and thickness, finished length and end requirements. Add the target output, incoming reel or coil sizes and the stages you already perform.

Discuss my project

For coating, include prepared casing samples and the proposed plastic grade. For cutting or chamfering, include coated casing samples and the required length and end tolerances.
