Front and rear cables are linked so that the force applied to the parking brake lever next to the driver’s seat or the pedal is transmitted to the rear wheel brake drums.
This cable bears the greatest load among all automotive cables.
Simulation technologies
After a long research for high efficiency in load transmission, especially when the cables are bent in a small radius, Chuo has succeeded in attaining spared spacing, arbitrary configuration and better operating feeling.
Connects shift lever to transmission gear box in the vehicles with side-mounted engines to transmit shift lever motions with great accuracy free of jars. A piece of control cable is used for automatic transmission vehicles while a pair of two is used for manual transmission vehicles. Forward-backward stroke of the shift lever changes a gear to the other and sideway motion is in the neutral, intermediary motion.
Not only vital to transmit the shift lever stroke motion but also in giving good shift feel.
Efficient technology
Transmission efficiency of shifts and smooth shift operation are sought and this technology contributed to saving space, better shift feel and the freedom in the lay out.
Bending technology in small Radii
Smooth shift by the cables with small radii is now realized and also helped to save space.
Simulation technologies
With Chuo’s simulation technologies, virtual layout came to reality during designing process to check the interference with the other parts. The simulation can predict the performance and durability life of the cable.
Cables that are to unlock hood, fuel lid and trunk door on remote basis from the driver’s seat.
In addition to the already existing window operating cables, various control cables are now in use after introduction of systems such as automated slide door.
Power slide door cables
With the increase of RVs, the slide doors with a help of motors are beginning to prevail in the market. Chuo’s cables are used in the unit for power slide doors to transmit the power of the motor.
Door Lock
In accordance with more development of safety equipments and the sophistication of automobiles, the doors have become too packed for rods that had widely been used and control cables are replacing the rods for their flexibility and maneuverability. Chuhatsu cables are small in diameter but are good for free layout positioning, durable and reliable.
EPB(Electric Park Brake) is now being applied in vehicles such as EV. In case of malfunctioning of electric system when Parking brake can not be released, this cable will help release mechanically. Very high airtightness is requested.
