Torque Controller Type Motorized Cable Reeling Drum

Torque Controller Type Motorized Cable Reeling Drum

A Torque Controller Type Motorized Cable Reeling Drum is a specialized cable management solution used to automatically wind and unwind electrical or control cables. These drums use a torque motor to maintain consistent cable tension, ensuring smooth operation, preventing cable sagging, and avoiding excess tension.

Orton Engineering has a complete range of motor driven torque controller cable reeling drums. This reels shown in this catalogue are direct reeling units where the cable compartment is mounted directly on the torque controller.

For those applications where the length and weight of the cable is in excess of the design capability of the direct reeling units, we have the indirect driven torque controller reels. With these reels the torque controller unit powers the reel compartment through a suitably selected transmission system. These types of cable reels are a reliable, low cost solution for reeling long lengths of cable.

These drums are available for a complete range of cable lengths from 30 to 500 meters, for voltage up to 11000 V. These drums are easily installed, have an absolute minimum maintenance requirement and are virtually unaffected by extremes of temperature and environment. These types of cable reeling drums are available in 3 types viz Monospiral, standard lay and random lay.

Advantages of Torque Controller Type Motorized Cable Reeling Drum :

Smooth Cable Winding/Unwinding maintains consistent torque, ensuring smooth and controlled cable reeling even at variable speeds. Controlled tension prevents jerks and over-tightening, reducing wear and tear on the cable. Adjusts torque automatically based on the load or cable length, enhancing performance efficiency. Only applies the required torque, reducing unnecessary power consumption.

Enhanced Safety prevents slack or over-pulling of the cable, minimizing risks of entanglement or equipment damage. Fewer mechanical parts compared to spring-based systems result in reduced maintenance needs.Suitable for space-constrained applications while providing high reliability in continuous operations.

Torque Controller Type Motorized Cable Reeling Drum can be tailored for different cable sizes, reeling lengths,and operational requirements in industrial environments. Longer Equipment Lifespan reduces stress on the motor and cable, leading to extended service life of the entire system.

Torque Controller Type Motorized Cable Reeling Drum Supports Horizontal and Vertical Operations and works efficiently in both directions, making it versatile for cranes, hoists, and mobile machinery.
