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.
