Drums

Drive and spring drums protect the working cable conductor from tangling, extend the service life of cable products, make it possible to adjust the tension force, and guarantee smooth supply of the working cable. Drums are necessary to optimize work processes, reduce costs when installing a current pipeline to objects moving in a straight line.

Features, applications and arrangement of spring drums

By design, the drum is a cylindrical hollow element on which an electrical component is wound or unwound from it during operation. The cable is wound automatically, winding occurs under the influence of gravity or with the help of a motor. The spring-loaded cable drum will automatically wind the cable conductor in the equipment.

Features of spring-driven drums:

• The material of manufacture is often PVC reinforced with fiberglass.
• The paintwork is a powder composition.
• The purpose is to wind a flexible wire designed to supply current to mobile equipment.
• The device moves thanks to a spiral spring.

A cable drum with a spring drive can be purchased to ensure the operability of gantry, shipboard, dock cranes, transport trolleys and electric cranes, bridge type cranes.

Features, applications and arrangement of drive drums

Structurally, the drum device is similar to the previous model: a cylindrical base, hollow inside, on which a working wire is wound. Then the cable conductor is unwound during operation and rewound back, as it is intended for mobile equipment in large enterprises and factories.

Features of the drive drums:

• The material of manufacture is mainly aluminum, coated with a paint composition.
• Availability: relatively low price for the drive drum.
• Purpose: automatic laying of the cable element in mobile power consumers.
• The difference from a spring wire is that it winds a longer working wire at a high speed.

It is used for control lines, current-supplying electrical components, hoses transporting liquid and gaseous compositions.

Branches of application of cable drums

Since the price for the drive and spring cable drum is quite reasonable, and the functionality is high, the equipment is used in many industries:

• Laboratory complexes;
• Conveyors;
• Lifting mechanisms and equipment;
• Workshops and manufacturing enterprises;
• Automotive industry;
• Industrial and private territories;
• The construction industry.
