T.C. Series Stall Torque Motorised Cable Reels

The reel compartment is constructed from one piece drum halves manufactured in heavy gauge steel to produce range of reels that are both strong and waterproof whilst employing the minimum of components. The drum revolves on a pair of “sealed for life” maintenance-free ball races, is mounted on a heavy fabricated steel base frame and is driven via an enclosed drive by a squirrel cage geared torque motor complete with brake.

The sliprings are each complete with a double leg brush-holder providing 2 brushes per ring to cater for adequate capacity to cater for starting current peaks and are designed for up to 600V AC operating voltage to comply with the relevant IS, BS, VDE, CSA AND NEMA specifications regarding minimum air gaps and creepage distances.

The slipring compartment and motor are designed and built to IP55 protection.

The wide reel compartment enables greater cable lengths to be handled than would normally be possible whilst at the same time keeping the overall diameter of the reel to a minimum.

This enables an inexpensive motor drive system to be utilized, resulting in a compact reeling solution for horizontal recovery applications at speeds of up to 40/min. and accelerations of 0.2m/sec2 with the reel mounted 1.5m above ground level.

The reel is suitable for continuous energisation eliminating the need for any associated control system
