Abstract

Scope - This SAE Standard covers dimensions and nomenclature of a push-pull control cable used in inboard marine engine applications. The dimensions are representative of existing design practice prevalent in the industry. Purpose - The flexible push-pull cable is a common motion transfer device for the remote operation of the throttle and clutch levers (hydraulically applied clutches) on marine propulsion units. Satisfactory function of remote controls depend upon observing the limitations of this cable and providing adequate connection to the propulsion unit. This standard, therefore, establishes nomenclature, dimensions, and installation recommendations for marine push-pull control cables. General - The conventional marine push-pull cable is a mechanism in which a core element is supported and guided by a stationary casing element. It works best at low loads and loses efficiency with each bend in the cable path. Both ends of both elements must be securely connected if the cable is to operate properly. Application dimensions of the most commonly used push-pull control cable are shown in Figure 1. Maximum input and output loads minimum bend radii, maximum degrees of bend in the cable path and other specific details may vary between different makes of cable.
