How to Select the Right Inner Wire Core for Mechanical Control Cables

Choosing the correct strand configuration for your inner wire core is critical for ensuring optimal cable performance, durability, and user experience. At Phidix, we help engineers, designers, and OEMs align cable core structures with specific mechanical, spatial, and environmental demands.

This guide will walk you through the pros, cons, and ideal uses for each major construction type.

Strand Configuration Comparison Table

Construction	Flexibility	Push Performance	Bend Radius	Application Suitability
1x7	Low	Excellent	Large	Long straight runs, rigid cable routing
1x19	Medium	Very Good	Medium	Precision push-pull actuation
7x7	High	Medium	Tight	Versatile routing, good tensile/flex combo
7x19	Very High	Lower	Very Tight	High-flex routing, complex motion paths
Solid Core	None	Best	Rigid only	Short travel, direct motion transfer

Factors to Consider When Selecting Core Type

1. Routing Complexity

• Tight bends or curves → prefer 7x19 or 7x7

• Straight, fixed paths → 1x7 or solid core

2. Motion Type

• Pure push or pull → solid core or 1x19

• Repetitive flexing → 7x19 preferred

3. Force Transfer Priority

• Higher compressive stiffness → solid or 1x7

• Balanced tension + flex → 7x7

4. Environment

• High corrosion risk → Choose SUS 316L options

• Friction-sensitive systems → Use PTFE-coated 1x19 or 7x7
