Brake cable Bowden cable AL-KO 247285 quick assembly 1020/1216mm

The AL-KO 247285 brake cable , also known as a Bowden cable , is designed for braked axles on trailers and semi-trailers equipped with AL-KO brake drums . It is responsible for the effective transmission of force in the trailer's braking system, supporting the proper functioning of the braking mechanism.

This new type of cable features a quick-mount system on the brake lever , simplifying installation and replacement of the cable in the braking system. The cable has a housing length of 1020 mm and a total length of 1216 mm . Designed for AL-KO 1636G, 1637, 2051 , and 2361 wheel brakes.

The AL-KO PROFI Longlife brake cable is an improved version of the Bowden cable, designed for smooth operation, increased durability, and high resistance to harsh operating conditions . The cable's inner helix is ​​reinforced with metal and protected by a PA 12 sheath, which is resistant to moisture, seawater, and other external factors . The cable ends are additionally coated with zinc-nickel, increasing corrosion protection and reducing the risk of rust.

How to choose the right brake cable for your trailer

When selecting the right cable, first determine whether it will be used on a single-axle or tandem trailer . Next, check the hub spacing of the given axle ( dimension C) and compare it with the range specified for the specific cable. For a tandem trailer, you also need to consider whether the cable will be mounted on the front or rear axle , as the manufacturer provides different cable lengths for these axles. This allows you to select the correct cable for the trailer's braking system.

The AL-KO PROFI Longlife brake cable is a durable component of the trailer's braking system, mechanically transferring power from the overrun brake to the AL-KO axle brake drum. Designed for smooth operation, increased resistance to environmental conditions, and long service life , it performs well even under intensive use. However, as a consumable item, it can wear out over time, including through stretching or corrosion of the casing, so it should be inspected periodically and replaced as necessary. When replacing brake cables, use the same type to maintain the proper operation of the entire system.
