How to measure a control cable for replacement?
 "How to measure a control cable for replacement?")
At Industrial and Cable Group we are often approached about replacement of control cables and how to accurately measure it and or find something that will fit a specific application.
The first thing to check for is a part number – some cables have it heat stamped on the outer / conduit of the cable. It may have also have a brand name printed on it, for example - Morse or Teleflex. If you know this then we can more than likely can help you with finding a replacement.
If you can’t find this then the answer is to look at the cable you’re replacing; measure it from tip to tip, then take note of what type of cable ends it has eg Bulkhead or Clamp (threaded or grooved). Most cable types are measured tip to tip but there are some exceptions to this rule.
The other pieces of information you will need is an understanding of the Cable Series you’re replacing that corresponds to the size of the rods it has. For example, 30 Series has 3/16” Rod, 40 Series – 1/4” Rod and 60 Series – 5/16” Rod. Our 40 Series can also come with metric rods at 6mm and 60 Series with metric 8mm rods. Other control cables may have differing identifying factors.
The next step is knowing what length of travel you need – our standard options offer between 25mm through to 150mm.
In summary the pieces of information you need are:
- What Ends?
- What Travel?
- What Length?
- Does it have a part number or brand?
Of course, it you can’t find what you’re looking for on our site then we suggest taking photos of your old cable and sending them to us so we can offer some assistance. Use our CONTACT US FORM or email to sales@industrialandcable.com.au
What is a Twist Lock Industrial Cable and What Do They Do?
 "What is a Twist Lock Industrial Cable and What Do They Do?")
A Twist Lock Cable is a type of control cable used when an application requires the ability to “lock” in an exact position. They are a member of the push pull cable family.
Twist Lock Cables by Industrial & Cable Groupallow designed settings to be made and held regardless of vibration. They are easily locked in by a slight term in either direction. These cables are ideal for RPM settings on mobile air compressors and similar applications where vibration is severe.
Specifications
- Cable Rod: 10-32 UNF
- End Type: Threaded or Grooved (Clamp or Bulkhead)
- Travel: 50mm or 75mm
Whatever your requirements, we can build Twist Lock Cables to any length you need – shop from our online options or CONTACT US to create a bespoke cable. Our team at Industrial and Cable Group is ready to help.

What Are RVC Cables and How They Improve Agricultural & Plant Equipment Operations
 "What Are RVC Cables and How They Improve Agricultural & Plant Equipment Operations")
Remote Valve Control (RVC) Cables are essential components in modern machinery, enabling precise valve actuation across agricultural, construction, and industrial equipment. By transmitting force or mechanical signals, RVC cables allow operators to control valves remotely, improving efficiency, safety, and accessibility in systems like hydraulic and pneumatic machinery.
At Industrial & Cable Group, we specialise in high-quality RVC cables engineered for heavy machinery, agricultural equipment, and plant maintenance, ensuring reliable operation in tough environments.
What Are RVC Cables?
RVC (Remote Valve Control) Cables are mechanical linkages that transmit motion from a control system to valves, such as ball, butterfly, or other flow control valves. Commonly known as push-pull cables, they connect motorised actuators to remote control points, enabling:
o Remote operation of valves from a safe distance
o Automation of irrigation, fluid, or chemical systems
o Precise flow control in hydraulic or pneumatic applications
o These cables are widely used in agricultural equipment, plant machinery, and heavy vehicles, making maintenance and operation safer and more efficient.
Types of RVC Cable-Actuated Systems
o Mechanical RVC Cables (Push-Pull / Bowden Cables)
o Mechanical cables are a reliable, manual solution for remote valve control. They are ideal for:
o Tractors, harvesters, and irrigation systems
o Plant machinery like loaders, excavators, and sprayers
o Marine equipment and small machinery
o Mechanical cables transmit direct motion without electricity, ensuring consistent valve operation even in harsh or remote environments.

Applications of RVC Cables in Agriculture & Plant Equipment
RVC cables are crucial in modern farming, plant machinery, and heavy vehicle operations:
o Automated irrigation systems – control water flow remotely for crops
o Fertilizer and pesticide application – precise chemical delivery
o Greenhouse climate control – regulate valves for humidity and temperature
o Livestock water and feed systems – remote monitoring and adjustment
o Heavy machinery hydraulics – reliable control in construction and earthmoving vehicles
By using RVC cables, operators can increase efficiency, optimise resources, and improve safety across all agricultural and industrial operations.
