YYou would not buy peanut butter in one store and your jelly in another, would you? So why should you purchase cables from one vendor and cable hardware from someone else? Within our 200,000-square-foot facility, Loos and Company manufacture cable assemblies from start to finish. Including everything from the individual wires that make up the cable to fitting that cable with terminals to make a finished cable assembly. Easy as cake, right?
As it turns out, manufacturing high-quality custom cable assemblies is a bit tougher than making a PB&J – but it does not have to be if you have the correct information. When you buy industrial cable assemblies from Loos & Company, there are millions of ways to specify what you need. To make sure what you spec is what you get, here are a few questions to ask yourself before ordering:
- Are you measuring under load?
On more than one occasion, customers do not consider that they are measuring a cable assembly while it is under load. To ensure you get the exact assembly you need, measure when no load is applied because the overall length will change once the load gets lifted.
- Are you measuring at the bearing point, swage point, or elsewhere?
If you have a drawing of what you need, one of Loos and Company’s knowledgeable representatives can provide you with a quote for the right product. If you are unsure of your measuring points or don’t even have a drawing, contact us today, and we will help you determine what it is that you need.
- Does your cable assembly need to be identified?
In military and aerospace cable assemblies, we often get asked to provide identification on the assembly. Did you know we have a wide variety of options available? Whether you need the part number to be mechanically etched onto the fitting or a simple paper tag attached to the assembly, we can provide you with what you need. As a manufacturing facility, we can fulfill any number of custom requests to meet their requirements.
- Do you need certifications?
In short, cable assemblies can be as simple or complex as you need them to be. We hope this guide provides some food for thought before you place your next custom cable assembly order with us. Click the link below to learn more about the products from your top custom cable assembly manufacturers:
