Quick answer: Available torque may be insufficient at that position or the connector, guide or cable bend may add local resistance.
Why does the final cable segment remain outside the reel?
Do not increase the whole torque curve without checking the parked geometry. A strained final bend or bumper contact can obstruct the last segment. Identify where the cable stops and measure the remaining load through that narrow interval.
A practical verification method
Test the final segment with the connector and stop fitted, then compare with each local resistance removed in a controlled fixture.
| Item | What to record | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Reference configuration | Part or assembly identity and drawing revision | Make comparisons traceable |
| Test conditions | Relevant position, direction and operating condition | Compare the same characteristic |
| Decision evidence | Test the final segment with the connector and stop fitted, then compare with each local resistance removed in a controlled fixture. | Resolve the specific question before approval |
Use the result in an engineering request
Describe the observed condition and the required function separately. Include the relevant drawing revision and your results from the check above. If an acceptance limit has not been established, identify it as an open design input rather than treating a successful trial as approval.
