Control Cables In Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

In modern unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), control cables (push-pull control cables) are widely used to transmit precise mechanical motion between the control unit and onboard mechanisms. In this application, the control cable is installed between the flight control actuator and the camera gimbal locking system.

The flexible structure of the control cable allows it to be routed easily inside the compact UAV body, even in limited space. During operation, the cable provides smooth and accurate push-pull movement, ensuring stable control of the gimbal lock during takeoff, flight, and landing.

By using a high-strength inner wire and a low-friction outer conduit, the control cable offers reliable performance, light weight, and long service life. This solution improves system reliability while reducing the complexity of electronic components, making it suitable for various industrial and commercial drone applications.
