Cable reels are often used in our daily lives. For example, used in construction machinery hydraulics and on gantry cranes. So, what is it for? and what is its working principle?
Cable reel is also known as cable reel or cable reel. Mainly used for installation in areas where space is at a premium.
And it has features like easy maintenance and low cost. Has replaced the old sliding cable method. Besides, is now mainstream in the field of mobile cable transmission.
Classification of cable reels
Cable reels can be divided into two main categories based on their shape: non-electric and electric.
If according to your arrangement can be divided into single-row axial and multi-row axial of two types.
According to the different position of the electrical slip ring, it can be divided into internal mounting slip ring and external mounting slip ring of two types..
According to the winding material, it can be divided into cable reel and hose reel..
Principle and characteristics of cable reels
Cable reels can be divided into various types according to different methods. Different types of cable reels work differently.
1.Plastic cable winder
Operating principle: Its operating principle is very similar to that of a tape measure. Uses the spring force of the reel to wind your cable.
When we use the cable, its spring becomes tense and the cable stretches. when you drop it, the cable winds up automatically.
Features: This device is relatively easy to install and has good timing properties..
But cable tension is relatively low, so the spring will have a shorter service life.
2.Hammered cable winder
Operating principle: The hammered cable winder is designed to raise the hammer to a certain height to store energy.
And the cable is used by adjusting the height of the hammer to rotate the cable reel.
Features: Its structure is relatively simple and its performance is stable.. So, it is easy to install and maintain.
3.Magnetic Coupling Type Cable Reel
Operating principle: This type of cable adjusts its reel with differential speed.
As the apparatus used approaches the ground, the cable coils under the force of the action. When the apparatus moves away from the ground, the cable comes loose.
Features: Magnetically coupled cable reel has a relatively low speed and does not get hot.
Besides, the size of the cable tension can be adjusted, which can effectively protect the cable. But not suitable for single axial rows, because it will generate a lot of noise.
In addition to these, there are many other types of cable reels, such as hysteresis cable reels, frequency controlled cable reels, etc.
The choice of cable and suitable cable winder can help you effectively in your project.
