3D model of a Bowden cable with blue sheath and metal end fitting.

This technical 3D visualization shows a complete Bowden cable. It consists of an inner steel cable protected by a flexible blue outer sheath. At one end there is a metal end fitting with a mount for fastening, followed by a threaded section with a spring for tension adjustment. The other end of the cable is exposed and finished with a green sleeve. Such components are typically used to transmit tensile forces in mechanical systems such as brakes or gear-shift mechanisms.
