Hand Brake Parking Brake Cable Emergency Brake Cable

Hand Brake Cable Parking Brake Cable Emergency Brake Cable

【 Product Description 】

A hand brake cable, also known as a parking brake cable or emergency brake cable, is a mechanical cable that connects the hand brake lever in the vehicle's cabin to the braking mechanism at the rear wheels. When the hand brake lever is engaged, the cable pulls on the braking mechanism, applying pressure to the rear brakes and holding the vehicle stationary.

Hand brake cables are essential for parking on inclines or when the vehicle is stationary for an extended period. They undergo wear and tear over time and may need to be inspected and replaced periodically to ensure proper functionality and safety.

【 Construction 】

Hand brake cables are typically made of high-strength steel wires or cables that are encased in a protective outer sheath. This construction provides strength and durability to withstand the tension and wear associated with regular use.

【 End Fittings 】

Hand brake cables are equipped with end fittings that connect the cable to the hand brake lever in the cabin and the braking mechanism at the rear wheels. These fittings are designed to securely attach the cable and withstand the forces exerted during braking.

【 Features 】

• Adjustability: Many hand brake cables are designed to be adjustable to ensure proper tension and functionality. This adjustability allows for fine-tuning the parking brake system to maintain optimal performance.

• Flexibility: Hand brake cables are designed to be flexible to accommodate the movement of the hand brake lever and the varying positions of the braking mechanism at the rear wheels.

• Corrosion Resistance: To withstand exposure to moisture, road salt, and other environmental elements, hand brake cables are often coated or treated to resist corrosion and prolong their lifespan.

• Heat Resistance: Hand brake cables are designed to withstand the heat generated during braking without compromising their structural integrity or performance.

• Compatibility: Hand brake cables are manufactured to specific lengths and configurations to fit different vehicle makes and models. They are designed to be compatible with the parking brake systems of various types of vehicles.

• Safety: Hand brake cables play a crucial role in vehicle safety, providing an additional means of securing the vehicle when parked and serving as an emergency brake system in case of brake failure.

【 Applications 】

• Parking Brake: The primary function of a hand brake cable is to engage the parking brake system in a vehicle. When the hand brake lever is pulled, the cable activates the parking brake mechanism, which applies braking force to the rear wheels, keeping the vehicle stationary when parked.

• Emergency Brake: In case of a brake system failure, the hand brake cable can act as an emergency brake system. By pulling the hand brake lever, the driver can engage the emergency brake, providing a secondary means of stopping the vehicle.

• Hill Parking: Hand brake cables are particularly useful when parking on hills or inclines. Engaging the hand brake helps prevent the vehicle from rolling down the slope by applying the brakes to the rear wheels.

• Vehicle Stability: When the hand brake is engaged, it adds an extra layer of stability to the parked vehicle, especially on uneven surfaces or when the vehicle is parked on soft ground.

• Manual Transmission Vehicles: In manual transmission vehicles, the hand brake cable is often used in conjunction with the clutch to prevent the vehicle from rolling when parked on an incline.

• Drivetrain Protection: When engaged, the hand brake can reduce stress on the transmission and drivetrain components by preventing the vehicle from moving when parked.
