Boeing PMA Cable Assemblies

Lock-clad Cable is manufactured by swaging an aluminum tubing over a 7x7 or 7x19 galvanized or stainless steel cable. Originally developed for aircraft control applications, Lock-clad has found additional industrial applications where the following properties are advantageous.

Stretch is reduced substantially.
Sag is virtually eliminated.
A smooth cylindrical surface finish allows lock-clad to be sealed when routed through pressurized bulkheads.

Vibration or "singing" is reduced.

Lock-clad is supplied almost exclusively as a complete assembly with swaged fittings attached to fit the customer's needs.Since Lock-clad is supplied rigid, the swaged on aluminum cladding can be removed at any point, for any distance, if necessary to pass over a pulley or perform a flexible action between two rigid sections. (See illustration.) MIL-DTL-87218 is a QPL specification. Loos is one of two companies listed on the QPL.
