Understanding the Different Multiflex Australia Cable Versions

29 June 2026

Selecting the correct push pull control cable depends on several factors including operating load, installation requirements, travel, environmental conditions and equipment type.

Within the Multiflex Australia range, our industrial push pull mechanical control cables are available in three primary versions:

Multiflex VersionIndustry EquivalentTypical DutyRod DiameterTypical Applications
Version 330 SeriesLight to Medium Duty3/16"Agriculture, marine, general industrial
Version 440 SeriesMedium to Heavy Duty1/4"Earthmoving, construction, transport
Version 660 SeriesHeavy to Severe Duty5/16"Mining, heavy industry, infrastructure

 

Although Multiflex Australia identifies these products as Version 3, Version 4 and Version 6, they are commonly recognised throughout industry as the equivalent of 30 Series, 40 Series and 60 Series push pull control cables. This compatibility makes Multiflex an ideal solution for replacing existing mechanical control cables or specifying new equipment.

Version 3 Push Pull Control Cables

The Multiflex Version 3 push pull control cable is equivalent to the industry-standard 30 Series control cable and provides an excellent balance between flexibility and operating capacity.

Designed for light to medium-duty applications, Version 3 cables are ideal where smooth operation, precise control and reliable performance are required.

Typical applications include:

  • Engine throttle controls
  • Gear selectors
  • PTO engagement
  • Hydraulic valve operation
  • Agricultural machinery
  • Commercial transport
  • Waste management equipment

Version 3 cables are commonly selected as replacement 30 Series, Morse® and Teleflex® mechanical control cables.

Version 4 Push Pull Control Cables

The Multiflex Version 4 push pull control cable corresponds to the industry-standard 40 Series control cable, offering increased push and pull capacity for heavier-duty equipment.

Featuring a larger 1/4" inner rod, Version 4 cables are engineered for demanding applications requiring greater operating forces and long service life.

Typical applications include:

  • Earthmoving equipment
  • Construction machinery
  • Mining support equipment
  • Heavy transport vehicles
  • Hydraulic control systems
  • Concrete agitators
  • Industrial processing equipment

Version 4 cables are widely used as premium replacement 40 Series, Morse® and Teleflex® cable assemblies.

Version 6 Push Pull Control Cables

The Multiflex Version 6 push pull control cable is equivalent to the heavy-duty 60 Series control cable, providing maximum push and pull capability for severe-duty applications.

With its robust 5/16" core, Version 6 is engineered for equipment operating under high mechanical loads and in harsh environments where reliability is essential.

Typical applications include:

  • Mining equipment
  • Heavy earthmoving machinery
  • Large hydraulic control systems
  • Industrial processing plants
  • Rail infrastructure
  • Bulk materials handling
  • Heavy mobile equipment

Version 6 cables provide an excellent replacement for 60 Series, Morse® and Teleflex® mechanical control cable assemblies.

Choosing the Correct Multiflex Mechanical Control Cable

Selecting the correct Multiflex mechanical control cable depends on:

  • Required push and pull force
  • Cable travel (stroke)
  • Installation routing
  • Environmental conditions
  • Frequency of operation
  • Equipment manufacturer specifications

Whether your application calls for a Version 3, Version 4 or Version 6 cable, our team can assist in identifying the correct solution. If you're replacing an existing 30 Series, 40 Series, 60 Series, Morse® or Teleflex® cable, we can help match the appropriate Multiflex equivalent.
