Automatic Cable Reel Drums

An automatic cable reel is an energy transfer reel delivered with its cable attached that pays out the cable as it is pulled and winds it back by its own mechanism when released. It is used to carry power to a machine or hand tool in places where the work point changes, such as workshops, service areas and production lines; the cable does not lie scattered on the floor. In this category, Bemis energy transfer reels are offered with 3x1.5 mm² and 3x2.5 mm² single-phase and 4x4 mm² and 5x4 mm² three-phase TTR cable, in lengths such as 10 m, 20 m and 50 m, with plastic or metal housings and IP55 rating; grounding reels with 1x25 mm² and 1x50 mm² welding cable are also available. Choose the reel by a cable cross-section suited to the load's phase count and current, a cable length sufficient for the working distance, whether the cable must be fixed at the pulled length (with or without locking) and the housing material. The current carrying capacity of a wound cable drops compared with the unwound state; for continuous load, rely on the manufacturer data. An automatic cable reel should not be confused with a manually wound cable drum: on a drum, the user winds the cable.
