Aircraft Cable

ASTRO manufactures aircraft cables from high-strength materials such as stainless steel or galvanized steel. It makes them resistant to corrosion, wear and tear, and extreme temperatures. They are used in a variety of applications within the aviation industry. That includes landing gear, flight control systems, and towing operations.

Wide application of steel wire rope, In addition to the aviation industry, aircraft cables are also used in other industries such as construction, marine, and transportation. Where strength and durability are important factors, our aircraft cable is the ideal choice. You can find it in various sizes, lengths, and configurations. We can customize the materials and sizes according to your needs, Send us your specific requirements now.

ASTRO Aircraft Cable Main Advantage

Strength

Our aircraft cable is designed to be incredibly strong and durable. Ideal use for applications that require high tensile strength.

Flexibility

Although it is strong, ASTRO aircraft cable is also flexible, allowing it to bend and twist without breaking.

Lightweight

Despite its strength, aircraft cable is relatively lightweight, which makes it ideal for applications where weight is a concern.

Long-lasting

Aircraft cable is your cost-effective choice. When properly maintained and cared for, it can last for many years.

1/16 inch (1.6 mm) dia.

The steel wire ropes we produce are made of high-strength steel wire. It can withstand high loads and high stresses. Can be used for various applications, such as control cables, tension cables, etc.

3/32 inch (2.4 mm) dia.

The 3/32-inch diameter aircraft cable is slightly thicker. Suitable for applications where higher loads are anticipated like guy wires, tension cables, and safety cables.

1/8 inch (3.2 mm) dia.

Aircraft cable with a diameter of 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) is composed of galvanized steel, stainless steel, or other high-strength alloys. Withstand the rigors of aviation use.

5/32 inch (4 mm) dia.

Aircraft cable 5/32 inch (4 mm) is thicker and stronger than the 1/8 inch cable. Suitable for use in applications where increased strength and durability are required.

3/16 inch (4.8 mm) dia.

Versatile and durable cable. Features optimum strength, durability, flexibility, and reliability. Suitable for use in larger aircraft or heavier equipment.

1/4 inch (6.35 mm) dia.

High-strength steel wire rope. Great properties are corrosion resistance and lightweight. It has a minimum breaking strength of around 7,650 pounds.

5/16 inch (7.9 mm) dia.

Made up of several individual strands of wire twisted together in a helix pattern. Can be used in the aerospace industry for control cables and more.

3/8 inch (9.5 mm) dia.

Slightly thicker and stronger cable compared to the 5/16 inch size. It can handle heavier loads. Depending on the specific application, can be difficult to handle,Widely used in industry.

7/16 inch (11.1 mm) dia.

Aircraft cables with a 7/16 inch diameter can be used as the lifting cable in cranes and hoists. Can be also used for heavy loads in construction, mining, etc.

1/2 inch (12.7 mm) dia.

Aircraft cable 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) provides increased safety and reliability in demanding applications. Resistant to wear, corrosion, and other types of damage.
