Custom Cable Assemblies · Melbourne, Australia
The Unidrum Lever is a compact hand-control head that operates a push-pull or pull-only cable from a lever designed primarily for hand-throttle applications on commercial and industrial vehicles, and suitable for many other remote controls. It holds and operates up to 26 lb of output load with a 5:1 mechanical advantage at the knob. TGA Cables builds Unidrum hand controls and their cables to your exact specification, supplied Australia-wide.
The Unidrum Lever is a lever-operated control head: the operator moves the lever, and the Unidrum imparts light-to-medium push-pull or pull-only loads to a remote output through a flexible conduit and inner-member. It’s most often used as a hand throttle setting and holding engine speed by hand but suits many remote control tasks where a compact, efficient hand lever is needed. A self-locking nut lets the operator set the friction, so the control stays where it’s placed.
