safety: electrical as well as mechanical;
convenience: easy installation and maintenance;
reliability: built using the highest quality component parts.
Some important characteristics:
- Main spring:
Self-contained; made from special alloy spring steel in a controlled manufacturing
process, to extremely high standards. Through this, optimal repeatability and long spring
life are assured. The spring is assembled into a metal cassette, which permits quick, safe
and easy replacement.
- Collector rings: The collector rings are made of eminent brass. The carbon brushes have a large surface area,
which ensures a perfect contact with the collector rings. Each brush is mounted in a
nonconductive holder. The modular construction of the collector ring assembly allows for
further rings to be added as requiered and provide for ease of servicing.
- Cable guide: The application of the fully adjustable guide arm with roller guide prevents de-formation of
the cable, e.g. bending. This increases the service life of the cable.
- Advantages of the guide arm are:
-
numerous settings over a maximum arc of 270°
-
fast, easy adjustment
-
optimal location with respect to the cable drum
-
secure positioning
-
non-contoured guide rollers, which
prevent twisting of the cable.
- Ratchet: This can be
engaged when continuous spring tension is not required, e.g. hand tools. Location is fixed
with respect to the cable drum outlet, ensuring that the reel can never be “locked
out” when the cable is totally extended.
- Construction: Weathertight construction, manufactured from aluminium die cast components. Provided with
a corrosion resistant powder polyester coating in a striking yellow colour. The design
minimises the number of components and allows for easy replacement to reduce maintenance costs.
