Bowden Inner Wire
A Bowden cable is a cable mechanism utilizing a thin stranded wire that moves inside of a flexible outer housing. The Bowden cable has been in use since the late 1800s and was designed to take the place of complex cable and pulley mechanisms for bicycles and automobiles. The hollow outer housing of this device is usually constructed of spirally wound steel wire encased in a plastic sheath. The inner wire of this mechanism is typically used to perform a pulling movement although it is sometimes provides a pushing force in shorter applications. Bowden cables are most often used in automobile and motorcycle clutches and throttles.
