About us

The Bowden cable, also known as „cable pull“, is a movable machine element for the transmission of forces by means of a flexible combination of wire rope and a pressure-re-sistant sheath. Depending on the intended use, the Bowden cable is also called brake cable, shift cable, throttle cable, clutch cable. Hardly any other machine element can combine so many technical advantages as theBowden cable. High load capacity, high wear resistance, very good fatigue bending properties and at the same time very flexible and elastic. They are used in many areas of technology and perform tasks such as carrying, conveying, lifting, tensioning, actuating and holding. Our solutions for drive technology applications ensure millions of times each day that people and machines are moved reliably and safely. Our drive cables are used, for example, in assemblies for roof, side and rear window shading. Our solutions for control technology applications transmit and control high and low forces, even under extreme conditions. Even at temperatures from – 40° C to + 250° C, Bowden cables offer reliable function and a long service life while being safe and conserving resources. With different strokes, our remote controls offer the possibility of transporting tensile and compressive loads from under 5 Newton to 10,000 Newton. Remote controls of 20 meters can be realized. The wide range of reinforced end fittings ensures the right geometry for every connection situation.

Our product solutions have a high efficiency, are durable, very robust and maintenance-free. By combining our product solutions with levers, peripheral fittings and housings, complex assemblies such as switching mechanisms or seat consoles can be created. The integration of our products into systems that work with linkage, pneumatics, hydraulics or electronics is of course possible. Furthermore, our products can often replace the listed mostly expensive system solutions completely and much more cost-effectively. Bowden cables are also a very sustainable product because they have a very good CO2 fingerprint. Once manufactured, the product produces no emissions. No heavy metals, poisonous or other substances harmful to the environment or health are used or generated during production and recycling.
