Spring Operated Cable Reeling Drum with Guide Arrangement

Spring Operated Cable Reeling Drums are mechanical devices used for the automatic winding and unwinding of cables using a pre-tensioned spring mechanism. These drums do not require external power, making them ideal for mobile or remote applications where electrical supply is not feasible.

Orton make spring operated cable reeling drums are powered with springs and has an automatic rewind features which provides an extremely simple way of supplying power to machines such as cranes and hoists. These cable drums are sued for both AC and DC applications. These reels recovers and store the cable in multiple layers on the drum.

Standard reels are supplied for the cable fed in the clockwise direction, When viewed from the Slipring side. The same can be provided form anticlockwise feed of cable also. These reels are extremely simple to mount and can be mounted on the structure with the help of supporting flange. If no suitable structure is available, then a bracket can be connected to the flange, and this can be fixed to the floor or tray etc.

The springs used in these reels are manufactured from the highest quality materials and are of clock spring type. A wide range of characteristics can be obtained by assembling these singly or in series or in parallel.

All the power sliprings are designed for 600V AC operating voltage.

Spring operated cable reeling drums can also be supplied with geared rotary limit switch arrangement.


Advantages of Spring Operated Cable Reeling Drums :

Self-Retracting Mechanism uses a pre-tensioned spring to automatically retract the cable without external power, ensuring smooth and controlled cable management. It operates without electricity or motors, making it ideal for remote or hazardous locations where power sources are limited.

They are generally smaller and lighter than motorized drums, making them easier to install and maintain. Fewer moving parts and no electrical components lead to reduced maintenance and operating costs. These drums are designed for continuous use in industrial environments, resistant to wear and harsh conditions. Safe Cable Handling prevents cable entanglement, reduces tripping hazards, and prolongs cable life through proper storage and tension control.

They can be mounted in various orientations (horizontal, vertical, wall-mounted) depending on the application. It offers an economical alternative to motorized systems, particularly for short cable lengths and lighter duty applications.

Spring Operated Cable Reeling Drums Suitable for cranes, hoists, mobile equipment, assembly lines, and material handling systems.
