Rubber+steel+plastic double spiral DS cable outer casing for motorcycle control cable
In motorcycles, the control cable outer housing, also known as the control cable sheath or casing, is a protective covering that encloses the inner control cable. It is an essential component of the control cable system, which includes throttle cables, clutch cables, brake cables, and other control cables used to operate various functions of the motorcycle.
The control cable outer housing is typically made of a flexible and durable material, such as plastic or rubber, that provides insulation and resistance against environmental factors like moisture, dirt, and abrasion. It is designed to withstand the rigors of motorcycle use and protect the inner control cable from external elements.
Here are some key aspects of motorcycle control cable outer housing:
1. Protection: The outer housing protects the inner control cable from moisture, dust, debris, and other contaminants that could interfere with its movement or cause damage. It helps to maintain the integrity and functionality of the control cable system.
2. Flexibility: The outer housing is designed to be flexible, allowing for the smooth movement of the inner control cable. It should have enough flexibility to accommodate the cable's range of motion and bending without hindering its operation.
3. Friction Reduction: The inner control cable slides within the outer housing when actuated. To reduce friction and ensure smooth cable operation, the outer housing may be lined with a low-friction material such as nylon or Teflon.
4. Cable Organization: The outer housing keeps the inner control cable organized and prevents it from tangling or getting entangled with other components or moving parts within the motorcycle.
It is important to regularly inspect and maintain the control cable outer housing, along with the inner control cable, to ensure optimal performance and safety. Worn-out or damaged outer housings should be replaced promptly to maintain the proper functioning of the control cable system.
When replacing the control cable outer housing, it is crucial to choose the correct size and type that matches the original specifications. The new outer housing should be cut to the appropriate length and securely installed using proper cable routing techniques.
Proper care and maintenance of the control cable outer housing will contribute to the reliable operation of the control cable system and enhance the overall riding experience.
