How much excursion is required for proper operation of the TH cable system?

The required excursion for the TH cable system is critical for its proper operation because it ensures that the system can effectively transmit the necessary mechanical movements needed for optimal function. An excursion of 4-5 inches is enough to allow the components to operate within their intended range without straining the system. This range ensures that the cable can fully engage with the mechanism, facilitating effective movement while avoiding excessive tension that could lead to premature wear or failure of the system components.

This specific range is based on the biomechanics involved in the operation of the TH cable system, which balances enough movement for flexibility and control while maintaining stability. If the excursion were too low, the system might not function correctly, resulting in missed movements or inefficacies in operation. Conversely, if the excursion were too high, it could introduce unnecessary slack, impacting responsiveness and precision. Thus, the 4-5 inches dimension represents a well-considered parameter that incorporates functional requirements and mechanical efficiency.
