Description
Overview:
This detachable longlife brake cable (MPN 211 040) is designed for use with Knott and Ifor Williams drum brake systems on braked trailers. It is a mechanical Bowden-type cable that transmits pull from the overrun/brake compensator to the brake levers on the axle. The cable features a protected inner wire designed to resist corrosion and abrasion in service, supporting reliable braking performance in fleet and plant trailer environments. The specified dimensions are an outer conduit length (L) of 530 mm (20.9 in) and an inner cable length (L1) of 740 mm (29.1 in), allowing correct free travel and effective actuation when installed to the intended running gear. The detachable end arrangement simplifies removal and replacement during routine maintenance, helping reduce downtime for workshop and mobile fitters.
