Speedometer Cable Core

Suhner India offers speedometer cable core for smooth and accurate functioning of speedometer cable driven mechanism. Suhner speedometer cable core forms part of cable driven speedometer mechanisms that are still predominant in cars in countries with very rough roads and extreme climatic conditions exist. Cable driven speedometers are also found on motorbikes, rickshaws, trucks and tractors. Due to their purely mechanical construction and actuation, they are oblivious to shocks, vibrations, humidity and road dirt. The sepeedometer cables are very reliable and can be easily repaired in case of breakage. A crucial component of their mechanism is the speedometer core, which transmits the rotary motion from the vehicle’s gearbox (or front wheel in case of motorbikes) to the speedometer. With a good quality core, the needle of a mechanical speedometer shows speed accurately. Bad core send has the needle flickering or pulsing all over the place, making reading speed a guessing game. Speedometer shafts, consisting of an inner flexible core and protective casing, vary greatly in length, from less than 3 feet (1m) for motorbikes to over 10 feet (3m) for trucks and buses. Flexible shaft and casing are not only used in speedometers but a multitude of applications where rotary motion has to be transmitted around multiple bends, from hard to reach places or in a flexible manner.
