What is a push pull cable?
A push/pull throttle cable is an upgrade to the old standard single throttle cable linkage. The throttle grip works on the carburettors when twisting/throttling up and when releasing/throttling down. This is a step up to the single throttle cable type where only a spring is responsible for throttling down.
Are push and pull throttle cables the same?
The two throttle cables do each have a different use. The pull cable pulls the throttle open, hence the name. The push cable, however, doesn’t actually push anything. It acts as a safeguard, pulling the throttle closed if the spring fails.
How are push pull cables measured?
The stroke on a push-pull cable can be calculated by measuring from the end of the support tube to the first thread on the bulk head or on a groove mounted cable you will measure to the front edge of the groove. The stroke is approximately 1.25” shorter than what you measure.
Which cable can give push pull force?
Push pull control cables for lawn mowers are used as throttle cables that control the speed of the lawn mower. In modern lawn mowers, the push pull control cable is connected directly to the carburetor’s intake valve. The push max load for a throttle cable is 10 lbs. while the pull load is 25 lbs.
Are throttle and idle cables the same?
They are not interchangeable. The difference isn’t just the spring, the part that presses into the housing on the handlebar is a different size too for each cable, they only go in one way, so you can’t replace a throttle with a idle or and idle with a throttle cable.
What is control cable?
Control cables send signals to control the functioning of equipment. Products include cables that range from 601 to 15 kV and 15.1 kV and over as well as paper power cable, portable power cable, and welding cable.
What is maximum hauling tension for CAT 6 cable?
25 lbs
For ethernet cable such Cat5e or Cat6 the maximum pulling force is 25 lbs (110N). This pulling tension covers cables in pull boxes and cable reels.
Should you lube throttle cable?
If the throttle action feels rough or sticky, the throttle tube and/or throttle cables may need lubrication. Interestingly, some workshop manuals specify lubricating these components as part of regular maintenance, while others only mention it as a remedy for improper operation.
What is Teleflex cable?
