Remote control assembly

A remote control assembly for transmitting motion along a path, said remote control assembly comprising:

• a sheath having a longitudinal axis along a length thereof and defining an interior;
• a core element disposed and moveable along said axis within said interior and extending along said length for transmitting motion along the path;
• a liner disposed within said interior and coupled to said sheath and surrounding said core element along said length while permitting movement of said core element along said axis relative to said liner, said liner including:
• an outer layer comprising a first material and coupled to said sheath,
• an intermediate layer comprising a second material different from said first material and coupled to said outer layer, and
• an inner layer comprising a third material different from said first and second materials and coupled to said intermediate layer,
• wherein said second material of said intermediate layer comprises an elastomeric material,
• wherein said inner layer defines a plurality of inner pores with said inner layer having lubricant disposed within said plurality of inner pores to lubricate said core element during movement along said axis,
• wherein said intermediate layer defines a plurality of intermediate pores with said intermediate layer having lubricant disposed within said plurality of intermediate pores with said lubricant migrating from said plurality of intermediate pores to said plurality of inner pores to lubricate said core element during movement along said axis,
• wherein said first material of said outer layer comprises nylon, and
• wherein at least a portion of said sheath is in direct contact with said outer layer;
• and
• at least one wire disposed between said sheath and said liner.
