ABS K19628 Cable Park Brake

Overview

The ABS K19628 Cable Park Brake is a high‑performance handbrake cable designed for automotive and light commercial vehicles that require reliable parking brake operation. It features a robust construction, precise tensioning capability, and compatibility with a wide range of ABS systems.

Design & Construction

The cable incorporates a stainless steel core encased in a durable polymer sheath. This combination offers excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and temperature extremes while maintaining flexibility for smooth operation. The ends are fitted with reinforced fittings that provide secure attachment to the brake lever and drum assembly.

Core Material

The inner core is made from high‑strength alloy steel, ensuring minimal stretch under load and consistent performance over time.

Sheath & Protection

A double‑layer polymer sheath protects the core from moisture, oil, and mechanical wear. The outer layer is treated with a UV‑resistant coating to prevent degradation in sunny climates.

Compatibility

The ABS K19628 Cable Park Brake is engineered for use with:

• Mitsubishi models such as the Space Star, where it serves as the primary parking brake cable.
• Other vehicles equipped with ABS systems, including those that require a handbrake lever and a drum or disc brake assembly.
• Commercial trucks and vans that rely on a robust parking brake mechanism for safety during long hauls.

Installation Guide

Installing the ABS K19628 Cable Park Brake involves several key steps to ensure optimal performance:

1. Remove the old cable and inspect the housing for damage or wear.
2. Attach the new cable ends to the lever and drum fittings, ensuring a snug fit.
3. Tension the cable using a calibrated tension gauge; the recommended tension range is specified in the technical datasheet.
4. Check for smooth operation by pulling the handbrake lever fully and releasing it to confirm no binding or excessive play.
5. Secure all connections with appropriate fasteners and verify that the cable does not interfere with other components.

Performance Characteristics

The ABS K19628 Cable Park Brake delivers:

• Consistent braking force across a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +80°C.
• Low elongation, ensuring that the brake lever remains at the same position over years of use.
High fatigue resistance, allowing thousands of cycles without degradation.

Maintenance & Longevity

To preserve the cable’s integrity:

• Inspect annually for signs of wear, corrosion, or fraying.
• Lubricate the cable sheath with a suitable brake lubricant to reduce friction.
• Replace promptly if any damage is detected, as compromised cables can lead to unsafe braking conditions.

Technical Specifications

Conclusion

The ABS K19628 Cable Park Brake stands out as a reliable, durable component for vehicles requiring dependable parking brake performance. Its robust construction, precise tensioning capability, and proven compatibility with major automotive systems make it an excellent choice for both new installations and replacements in existing fleets.
