What does a push pull cable do?
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.
What is the difference between a push and pull throttle cable?
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 is a push pull cable 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.
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.
How much slack should a throttle cable have?
Most motorcycle manufacturers recommend about 2 to 3 millimeters of throttle free play, but over time the cables will stretch and settle into their housings and you’ll end up with more slack.
What are the types of control cable?
There are three different types of Control Cable in the area of process automation: CY, YY and SY Cable. With its GSWB braid SY is suited to installations with medium to high mechanical stress. YY and CY Control Cable are very similar in construction, but without the mechanical protection provided by the steel wire.
How can I improve my throttle response?
One of the easiest ways to improve engine and throttle response is by making sure your fuel filter is clean. When you stomp on the gas pedal, it sends a signal for more fuel to go into the engine.
