Igus has developed a cable-friendly alternative to the reeling drum with its e-spool system, which allows multiple cable types and diameters (even compressed air and fluids) to be enclosed in one e-chain, with no limit on the direction of travel and no joins or slip-rings.An integrated spring enables rotary retraction, and no tensile load is applied to the cables.In the start position, the e-chain is completely rolled up, saving space and keeping pathways clear.
The e-spool can accept cables up to 17mm in diameter and is available in standard lengths of 4, 7 and 14m.One or two twisterbands can be selected and the e-spools can be delivered pre-assembled or as a kit.
