Aerospace Cables

General Aviation

Civilian aircraft rely on aerospace cables for many different control functions, ranging from landing gear, rudder control, engine systems, and more.

You need a control system that operates smoothly and reliably in any reasonable weather conditions, and that’s where Orscheln comes in. Our most common cable is the conventional push-pull cable, which is used for many different applications across your vehicle.

Whether you’re an OEM or a private pilot, you can order cable in any quantity to provide the best service for your project.

Need a replacement cable quickly? WIth our Felsted Assembled Systems Technology (FAST) system, we can quickly supply you with almost any of our cables!

Commercial Aviation

We’re a proud partner of commercial aerospace manufacturers worldwide. Commercial jets and other large aircraft have countless lengths of control cables that keep them air-worthy and safe for repeated flights.

Our cables are designed with longevity in mind. We use advanced aerospace materials for casing around our cables, and our products are compliant with the FAA’s FAR 23.1141 and FAR 25.853 standards. That means our cables can withstand anything up to extreme environments without failing to ensure your aircraft arrive safely, every time.

Military Aviation

For military aircraft, we subject our cables to even more stringent requirements. Any of our military-grade aerospace cables are compliant to not only FAA regulations but also MIL-STD-810 and RTCA DO-160.

Military aircraft need to operate reliably every time, so we’ve spared no expense with our military cables. Every cable undergoes extensive testing before delivery, and we use only the most durable materials for our cables.

Whether it’s fighters or supply vehicles, our cables play a key role in US military operations around the world, and we’re proud to support their efforts with our products.

Ground Support

Any aircraft relies on an extensive network of ground support operations to stay in peak operating condition. These vehicles and support systems may not be glamorous, but they actually use many of the same cables and components Orscheln uses for our aerospace cables!

Whether it’s cargo loaders, airplane tugs, or other ground support vehicles, we’re here to supply you with any of the mechanical cables you need to operate this equipment effectively.
We can supply not only cables, but complete control systems for many of these vehicles.

Helicopter

Though operating on very different principles than traditional aircraft, helicopters still rely on many of the same control cables as any other vehicle.

We carry a range of standard control cable configurations, such as push-pull, T-handle, control head, valve control, throttle, tension, and vernier cables.

Need a special cable for your helicopter? Let us know and we can custom design almost any cable configuration to meet the specific requirements for your vehicle.
