Brake cables are integral pieces of automotive hardware, the proper function of which are necessary for the safety of drivers and passengers. Cables are used in the handbrake, or the emergency brake. Tension in a cable running from the pedal or handle inside the vehicle's cabin activates the brake, pressing the shoes against the drum.
In addition to tension systems, other types of lines used in automotive systems make use of hydraulic pressure. In these systems, when the pedal is depressed in the cabin, pressure in the lines increases. This pressure drives the hardware in the hydraulic braking system, including the master cylinder and slave cylinders. As an alternative, some systems make use of compressed air instead of hydraulic fluid. Both types of systems operate on the same principles, however, and must be maintained to ensure safety.
Replacing Necessary Brake Cables and Lines
In some cases, the brake fluid can increase in temperature and in pressure. Under these circumstances, the original hardware may deteriorate and rubber cables may not be enough. By replacing them with metal lines and cables, such as those constructed from stainless steel, owners can increase the longevity of their vehicles.
