Control & Brake Cables

Bowden Cable Assembly

Bowden cable assembly with inner cable, flexible outer housing and selected terminals for routed mechanical control or replacement cable RFQs.

Procurement Focus

  • Housing length, exposed inner cable and working stroke
  • Terminal A and terminal B geometry from close-up photos
  • Routing path, bend direction and casing end caps
  • Sample or drawing reference for replacement accuracy

Product Overview

Bowden Cable Assembly transfers mechanical movement through an inner cable running inside a flexible outer housing. Buyers usually request this product when a cable must route around bends, pass through an equipment frame or replace an existing throttle, choke, brake or control cable. The quotation should focus on movement stroke, housing style and both terminal ends rather than a generic cable length alone.

Procurement Notes

  • Best suited when movement must be guided through a flexible casing.
  • Photos of the machine route help confirm bend direction and housing end caps.
  • The sample or drawing should separate housing length from exposed inner cable length.

Buyer Confirmation Points

  • Overall length, housing length and stroke
  • Inner cable diameter and housing outside diameter
  • Terminal A and terminal B geometry
  • Routing path and application function

If the cable must transmit movement in both directions, compare this page with Push Pull Control Cable Specifications for RFQ and Push Pull Control Cable. Buyers can also review Sample-Based Cable Matching before sending photos, measurements and application notes through the Request a Quote page.

FAQ

Bowden Cable Assembly purchasing questions

What makes a Bowden cable RFQ different from a plain wire rope RFQ?

A Bowden cable includes an inner cable, outer housing and end terminals, so buyers should confirm housing length, stroke, route and terminal geometry instead of only total cable length.

Which terminal details should be photographed?

Photograph threaded adjusters, barrel or ball ends, eyelets, hooks, bend tubes, springs and casing ferrules from multiple angles.

Can Gosor match a Bowden cable from a sample?

Yes. A removed sample is useful when stroke, terminal shape or housing end caps are difficult to measure from a drawing.

What cable sizes are commonly discussed for similar control cables?

Similar control cable RFQs often reference inner cable sizes around 0.8 mm to 2.0 mm, but the final diameter is confirmed from the application and terminal design.

What should be checked before requesting a replacement cable?

Check the full route, housing length, exposed cable length, travel distance and both mounting points before sending the RFQ.
