The control force is transferred to the control surfaces via pushrods, except for the trim tab ( mounted on the right elevator ), which uses bowden cables.

Early Bowden cable, from the 1890s and first years of the twentieth century, is characterised by the outer tube being wound from round wire and being uncovered.

Wire rope is also used to transmit force in mechanisms, such as a Bowden cable or the control surfaces of an airplane connected to levers and pedals in the cockpit.

Many light aircraft use a push / pull bowden cable for the throttle control, and here it is normal for the inner element to be solid wire, rather than a multi-strand cable.

Modern front and rear derailleurs typically consist of a moveable chain-guide that is operated remotely by a Bowden cable attached to a twist grip; some shifters may be incorporated with brake levers into a single unit.

When fired directly forwards, the trigger of the Lewis gun was controlled by a Bowden cable; when fired upwards the pistol grip was held to steady the weapon, and it was fired by pressing the trigger.

EPB systems afford packaging and manufacturing advances, since it allows for an uncluttered central console in the absence of the traditional handbrake lever ( many manufacturers have used the freed up space to place the controls for their infotainment systems ), plus it reduces manufacturing complexity since it removes the need to route bowden cables underneath the vehicle.
