DA4-2723-24-00 – Diamond Aircraft OEM Bowden Cable Assembly

Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.

Overview

The Diamond Aircraft DA4-2723-24-00 is a genuine OEM Bowden cable assembly, a precision-engineered component essential for the pilot and co-pilot rudder pedal adjustment system on the Diamond DA40. This is not a generic cable; it is a purpose-built mechanical control designed to transmit push/pull forces from the cockpit adjustment handle to the pedal locking mechanism. It allows pilots of varying heights to precisely position the rudder pedals for comfort and optimal control authority. As a genuine Diamond factory part, it guarantees the correct length, end fittings, and low-friction performance required for safe, smooth, and reliable operation.

Key Features

• Low-Friction Operation: Constructed with a smooth inner control wire that slides within a polymer-lined outer conduit. This design minimizes friction, ensuring the adjustment handle is easy to pull and that the locking pin engages and disengages smoothly without binding.
• High-Strength Stainless Steel Core: The inner control wire is fabricated from high-tensile strength, multi-strand stainless steel, providing excellent durability and resistance to stretching, kinking, and corrosion.
• Durable Outer Conduit: The flexible outer housing is designed to be semi-rigid, protecting the inner wire while allowing the cable to be routed through the complex structure of the airframe without compromising its function.
• Factory-Terminated End Fittings: Comes as a complete assembly with precisely crimped or swaged end fittings, ensuring a secure and reliable connection to both the cockpit control handle and the pedal locking mechanism.
• Genuine Diamond OEM Part: As a genuine factory component from Diamond Aircraft, it guarantees a perfect fit, the correct "throw" or travel distance, and adherence to the aircraft's original Type Certificate design.

  • Diamond DA40 / DA40NG Star

Applications

The DA4-2723-24-00 is the specified component for maintaining the rudder pedal adjustment system:

• System Repair: The primary part to replace when the rudder pedal adjustment handle becomes difficult to operate, feels "gritty," or fails to engage/disengage the locking pin.
• Preventative Maintenance: A good practice to inspect the cable for kinks, frays, or damage during major inspections to prevent a failure of the adjustment system.
• Ensuring Pilot Safety & Control: A fully functional cable is essential for allowing pilots to easily and reliably adjust the pedals to a position that allows for comfortable and effective application of both rudder and differential braking.

Why Choose DA4-2723-24-00?

The ability to correctly position the rudder pedals is a critical safety-of-flight issue. If a pilot cannot achieve full rudder travel, their ability to control the aircraft in a crosswind or other adverse yaw situation is compromised. A failed adjustment cable can leave the pedals stuck in a position that is unsafe for the current pilot. Using a genuine Diamond Aircraft DA4-2723-24-00 OEM cable is the only way to ensure the part has the correct length, low-friction characteristics, and durability intended by the designers, guaranteeing the system works safely and reliably every time.

The DA4-2723-24-00 Bowden cable assembly is a tension and compression transmittal system. The outer conduit is anchored at both ends, remaining static. The inner wire is anchored only at the actuating end (the pedal mechanism). When the control handle in the cockpit is pulled, it places the inner wire under tension, which retracts the pedal locking pin. When the handle is released, a return spring at the pedal end places the inner wire under compression, pushing it back to its original position and allowing the spring to drive the locking pin home. The low-friction liner inside the conduit is critical for ensuring this push-pull action is smooth and that the force applied by the pilot is efficiently transmitted to the locking pin without loss due to binding.

Note: Installation of flight control components must be performed by a certified A&P mechanic in strict accordance with the current Diamond Aircraft maintenance manual for the specific aircraft model. Proper routing of the cable to avoid sharp bends and chafing is critical. A full functional check of the adjustment and locking mechanism must be performed after installation.
