Cable Tension Regulators  : Triumph Controls - UK

Cable Tension Regulators are utilized to maintain optimum rig tensions in wire rope cable control systems, irrespective of thermal or structural deflections of the airframe.  The benefits on the aircraft are low breakout forces, lower stresses and system weight, together with longer cable life and reduced maintenance.  Cable tension regulators are designed to custom engineered specifications and are approved and in-service on both civil and military aircraft.  Triumph Controls - UK provides a variety of cable tension regulators.  Quadrant type regulators are installed are installed at the pilot end or the control run end of a cable loop, and maintain optimum rig tension while transmitting control movements to the flying control surfaces.  The accessory and in-line cable tension regulators install within the run length of the cable loop and will act to transmit pilot control loads while regulating the tension in the cables within a controlled load range for best pilot feel. These units are generally installed into flying control trim systems and engine controls or where installation is restricted.
