Phidix 1500 Series Pull-Only Brake Cable: Compact Power, Precise Control
Designed for systems that demand lightweight strength and routing flexibility, the Phidix 1500lb pull-only brake cable offers a compact and adaptable solution for industrial and mobile braking needs. Whether used in parking brakes, manual disconnects, or small equipment lockouts, this cable combines strength with size-conscious construction.
For designers working in constrained spaces or with sensitive actuation needs, the 1500 series delivers proven performance without excess bulk.
Where the 1500 Series Outperforms
• Compact Agricultural Equipment
In modern orchard tractors or small cultivation units, where hydraulic systems are overkill, the 1500 series offers the perfect pull-only mechanical solution. With its 5-inch bend radius and short installation footprint, it fits around transmission housings and under-frame linkages with ease.
• Commercial-Grade Mowers & Turf Vehicles
Zero-turn mowers and turf equipment demand quick, low-deflection cable actuation to control blade engagement and brake locks. The 1500 cable maintains performance over repeated cycles in wet, dusty, or vibration-prone environments.
• Enclosed Utility Trailers & Compact Carts
From hand-brake systems on compact trailers to emergency disconnects in maintenance carts, the 1500 series provides enough tensile strength without the routing headaches of bulkier cables.
• Portable Power Units & Compact Machinery
Phidix 1500 is frequently used in generator frames, portable pumps, and skid-mounted systems where space is tight and control response matters. Its sealed ends and nylon coating withstand frequent movement and outdoor exposure.
Why not 3000? Because if your system needs under 1500 lb of pulling force, this cable gives you full performance without the weight, cost, or over-engineering of a heavy-duty assembly.

FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between this and standard push-pull cables?
A: This is a pull-only cable, meaning it’s optimized for one-way actuation with higher structural efficiency and simplified internal design.
Q: Can I use this in outdoor or humid environments?
A: Yes, the outer jacket and internal liner are designed to resist corrosion, UV, and moisture ingress.
Q: What if I only have 10" of mounting space?
A: We can provide shortened conduit with compact terminations—just let us know your mounting constraints.
