Rotating control assembly with double cable, with adjustment of the cable tension

Method for adjusting the cable tension in a rotating control assembly with double cable, wherein said method comprises the following steps:

• providing a first and a second actuator device both having a respective rotating pulley and being connected together by two cables both fixed to the pulley of the first actuator device and to the pulley of the second actuator device, wherein the pulley of the first actuator device and the pulley of the second actuator device are identical to each other, each of said pulleys being mounted on a respective base, and wherein each base comprises a guide mounting portion extending from the base in a radial direction with respect to an axis of rotation of the pulley;
• and
• positioning, on each guide mounting portion, a respective guide part having a pair of resilient wings, in such a way that said resilient wings press on respective sections of the cables in immediate proximity to areas where the cables are wound onto the respective pulley, a final position of each guide part with respect to the respective guide mounting portion being fixed by means of a form-fit, force-fit and/or material coupling,
• wherein said step of positioning a respective guide part on each guide mounting portion comprises the following steps:
• reading free length data relating to said pair of cables and indicating a length difference between said cables and respective sheaths,
• determining a radial assembly position of each guide part with respect to the respective mounting portion, depending on said free length data;
• and
• moving each guide part along the respective mounting portion so as to reach said radial assembly position,
• said method being characterized in that said step of reading free length data involves reading an identification code associated with said pair of cables and containing the free length data in coded form, and said step of determining the radial assembly position of each guide part is based on a transfer function which associates with said free length data in coded form corresponding values of the radial assembly position of each guide part.
