An end fitting for use in a remote control cable assembly of the type having a control cable (10) that includes a conduit (12) and a wire-like strand or core element (14). The end of the strand is typically attached to a slider rod (16) that extends within a swivel tube (18). The swivel tube (18) is supported within a swivel socket provided in the end fitting. The end fitting allows for easy rotation of the end fitting relative to the axis of the conduit and provides for isolation against noise and vibration transmission, while not adding additional lash into the cable system from the rotating end fitting joint. The end fitting has four pieces, a molded sleeve (28), conduit isolator (29), outer fitting (28) (side entry fitting and end cap (23)). The conduit isolator, end cap, molded outer fitting and molded sleeve, are toleranced such that when they are assembled, they have a slight interference and thus reduce the lash generated by the rotational joint (24s). The conduit isolator further is manufactured from a resilient material that isolates against transmission of vibration/noise and can be easily compressed by the snap fitting operation (for example, elastomeric material, urethane, TPO (santoprene)). |
