Safety Cable & Ferrule KIT - 18 Inches - 304 Cres Material

Loose fasteners on aircraft engines have provided engineers with a challenge since the very beginnings of flight. They not only jeopardize the parts they secure but can fall into the wrong part of the engine. Yet lockwiring fasteners is a time consuming and troublesome process.

Safety Cable was developed in 1987 by Bergen Cable Technology in conjunction with GE Aircraft Engines and has replaced what was once one of the most troublesome, time-consuming and error-prone of all manufacturing and repair processes lockwiring of fasteners and replaced it with a simple two-step procedure. It is the safest, most cost effective, easiest to install fastener retention system available.

The system consists of Bergen Cable Technologys cable, ferrules and a patented, all in one tensioning, crimping and cutting tool. It permits manufacture and repair in half the time* required for lockwire, reduces rework and inspection while eliminating installation hazards through removal of any sharp edges that can injure operators or tear protective clothing.

After a cable is threaded through the fasteners and a loose ferrule inserted, the crimping tool tensions the assembly, crimps the loose ferrule and cuts the excess cable flush to the ferrule all in one smooth motion.

The entire system is so user friendly that entry-level technicians can learn the Safety Cable installation method in less than thirty minutes and be ready to competently and efficiently secure fasteners on even the most complex, hard to reach components.

Today, Bergens Safety Cable System is saving countless hours in aerospace manufacturing for companies such as General Electric Aircraft Engines, Boeing, Pratt and Whitney, Rolls Royce, and Woodward Governor.
