e-spool® for manual operation

The e-spool® with manual pull-out was developed for applications where only one cable is pulled out by hand. This allows a worker to pull out the cable to the required length for a control panel or a cable-connected tool and then rewind it compactly after use. A locking mechanism has been installed so that the cable is not under tension all the time. The extension length can be locked in place in a similar way to a hoover cable. Cable lengths of up to 5 m can be realised.

Compact, space-saving, spring-loaded cable drum without slip ring
Integrated locking mechanism to prevent unintentional rewinding (very similar to a hoover cable)
Also for media and air hoses
Handle with connection option and strain relief for the cable

Typical areas of application:
Robot teach panels, work stations, assembly lines

Filling rules for the e-spool®

Due to the special mechanical stress in an e-spool®, we recommend using our chainflex® cable. We also recommend adhering to the following filling rules:

1. cables may only be laid side by side in the linear chain - never lay several cables on top of each other!
2. chainflex® cables with a TPE outer jacket should be used for unshielded cables wherever possible.
3. shielded cables should be from the chainflex® CFROBOT cable family.
4. the maximum bend radius of the twisterband used must be observed.
5. if possible, use separators to protect cables against flashover and abrasion. To make the best possible use of the interior space, install separators alternately in consecutive segments.
6. Insert cables sorted by diameter or bend radius - insert thin, small ones towards the inside and larger ones towards the outside.
7. Relieve the strain on both ends of the cable. The cable tie knot must not be fitted in the direction of the chain.
8. the cables should be laid in the twisterband in such a way that they have some clearance space both outwards and inwards to the rotary axis.

Installation instructions

In the case of a horizontally travelling application, a smooth surface must be provided on which the energy chain can travel.
