How Stantek Manufactures Release Cable Assemblies

  

 Stantek manufactures release cable assemblies through a controlled process covering project review, material selection, cable preparation, assembly, testing, and final inspection. Each assembly is produced according to customer drawings, specifications, and application requirements.

• Step 1 — Project Review & Manufacturing Requirements: Customer drawings, cable length, routing, mounting points, handle configuration, end fittings, travel distance, pull-force requirements, and other specified requirements are reviewed before production. Stantek provides manufacturability feedback where appropriate.

• Step 2 — Material & Application Review: Cable, inner wire, conduit, housing, fittings, handles, protective components, and other materials are reviewed according to the specified operating environment, duty cycle, and application requirements.

• Step 3 — Cable Construction Selection: Cable construction is selected according to specified pull force, flexibility, travel, routing, operating conditions, and mechanical requirements.

• Step 4 — Inner Cable Specification: Inner cable materials and construction are selected according to required strength, flexibility, corrosion resistance, travel, and expected operating conditions.

• Step 5 — Conduit & Housing Selection: Conduit and housing are selected based on routing, bend requirements, abrasion protection, environmental exposure, and required mechanical protection.

• Step 6 — Handle & Lever Configuration: Handles, levers, T-handles, pull handles, or other operator interfaces are configured according to mounting requirements, available space, ergonomics, and specified actuation requirements.

• Step 7 — End Fitting & Termination: End fittings such as clevis ends, ball ends, threaded fittings, adjustable terminals, and other specified attachment components are incorporated according to the required connection method and load requirements.

• Step 8 — Cable Assembly & Routing: Cable assemblies are cut, prepared, terminated, routed, and assembled according to specified dimensions and configuration requirements. Proper routing and bend-radius control help support smooth mechanical operation.

• Step 9 — Mechanical Testing: Assemblies can be tested according to customer requirements for pull force, travel distance, actuation, cycle performance, and mechanical operation.

• Step 10 — Final Inspection & Verification: Finished assemblies undergo visual, dimensional, termination, routing, and operational inspection to verify conformance with specified requirements.
