Cablecraft Motion Controls

Micro Adjust Aircraft Controls

Cablecraft Motion Controls designs and manufactures a wide range of aircraft cables. Our mixture, prop/pitch, and throttle micro adjust controls are compliant with FAA requirements. Depressing the center button allows pushing or pulling the knob to make course travel adjustments. Rotating the knob counter-clockwise retracts the output in the finite mode, and clockwise extends. Four and one-half turns results in 1" of linear travel. Normal vibration does not affect the micro adjust setting. An optional friction lock accessory is available for applications influenced by excessive vibration. A friction lock (only) control head is also available.Various output configurations are available to suit specific applications. The ordering code and technical descriptions show these choices.
