What is the most common cause of failure in rigged aircraft cable systems?

2025-08-10
The most common causes of failure are improper tensioning and inadequate corrosion protection. If a cable is too loose, it can vibrate, chafe, and jump off pulleys, leading to premature wear. If it is too tight, it can put excessive stress on the cable and the airframe structure, causing fatigue failure. Another major factor is corrosion, especially in galvanized carbon steel cables. Regular inspection for broken strands and proper application of anti-corrosion coatings are vital for system longevity. This is why our company focuses on providing high-quality, durable equipment and tools that are designed to meet stringent industry standards for all types of environments.
