Motorised Cable Reels

Motorised Cable Reeling Drums

The Motorised Cable Reeling Drums we provide are designed to support a variety of cable reeling applications. Equipped with springs and featuring an automatic rewind capability, these reeling drums serve as a reliable power supply for machines such as cranes and hoists. We offer a wide range of reel drums that can accommodate various cable lengths and sizes.

Owing to their design, these drums help in reducing tensions in the reeled cable substantially as against other forms of drive. Other fruitful features include improving the lining life, and they also extend intervals between torque correction adjustments.

Stall Torque Motor Operated Cable Reeling Drums

A stall torque motor operated cable reeling drum is a robust and reliable solution designed to manage long and heavy cables for industrial machinery such as cranes and stacker reclaimers. The system's core is a specialized stall torque motor, capable of operating continuously in a stalled condition without overheating. This unique characteristic allows the motor to maintain a constant, pre-set tension on the cable, functioning like an "infinite-length spring" as the machinery moves and the drum winds or unwinds the cable.

This inherent torque limitation simplifies the control electronics and prevents issues like cable damage from over-tensioning or slack, ensuring smooth and consistent operation even in harsh industrial environments. Consequently, these motor-operated drums are a low-maintenance and highly dependable choice for automating cable handling in demanding applications.

Sprocket Driven Cable Reeling Drums

Sprocket-driven or gear-driven cable reeling drums are commonly used in magnet cranes for long travel and vertical operations, like lifting magnets. These drums help reduce cable tension, prolonging their lifespan.

Unlike spring-operated drums, sprocket or gear systems require a motor to drive the drum. The spring-operated designs have limitations in their design and winding life, making the gear-driven options more reliable for demanding applications. This ensures efficient and durable cable handling in challenging environments.

Sprocket Driven Cable Reeling Drum

Construction

It consists of driving sprocket/gear ,driven sprocket/gear, Slip ring assembly & a drum for winding & unwinding the cable.

Working Principles

The cable reeling drum (CRD) is wound or unwound in accordance with the specifications of the client's drum. This process is synchronized with the operation of the rope drum to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.

Benefits

  • Smooth Operation
  • Efficient for long travel
  • Longer Life
