Lock-Clad Assemblies

Lock-Clad

Our Lock-Clad Assemblies are manufactured by swaging aluminum tubing over a 7×7 or 7×19 galvanized or stainless-steel cable. These Assemblies are supplied almost exclusively as a complete Assembly with swaged fittings attached to fit the customer’s specific needs.  

Originally, Lock-Clad Assemblies were developed specifically for Aircraft Control applications, but have now found additional industrial application where the following properties are advantageous: 

– Stretch is reduced drastically

– Sag is virtually eliminated

– A smooth cylindrical surface finish allows Lock-Clad to be sealed when routed through pressurized bulkheads 

Since Lock-Clad cable is supplied rigid, the swaged-on aluminum cladding can be removed at any point, for any distance, if necessary to pass over a pulley or perform a flexible action between two rigid sections.
