The AKAPP cable reel for optimal
performance and reliability!
This page covers the AKAPP standard range of spring driven cable
reels with wide drums and flange mounting. The serie "AV" spring reels are built
with modular components which allows a great number of combinations covering most common
requirements. The spring reels are strong and well designed in order to guarantee the
highest reliability even in difficult applications.
All reels are equipped with two totally sealed bearings which are
lubricated for lifetime. The special design features well dimensioned shaft and bearings
which allows easy and fast exchange of springs. Furthermore the sliprings are build in a
totally sealed and modular unit, fully separated from the mechanical parts.
Protection of sliprings and reel is IP65/66.
safety: electrical
as well as mechanical;
convenience: easy
installation and maintenance;
reliability: built
using the highest quality component parts.
Some important characteristics:
Main spring:The springs are made of high-grade special steel which guarantees a long
lifetime. Every spring is mounted inside a spring housing in order to avoid friction and
wear.
Sliprings: The
slipring assembly is mounted in a solid glassfiber reinforced plastic housing which
withstands corrosion and mechanical wear. The housing is designed to minimise condensation
and to guarantee complete water tightness through glands and seals.
Cable guide: a guide arm with roller guide
(optional accessoire) prevents de-formation of the cable, e.g. bending. This increases the
service life of the cable. Especially useful for manual winding operation.
Ratchet: This
optional feature can be engaged when continuous spring tension is not required, e.g. hand
tools.
Finish:Corrosion protection is also a major feature
with AV reels. All steel plates and parts are either hot dip galvanised or have a
polyester coating. AKAPP offers also as an optional stainless steel bolts, nuts and all
external parts in hot dip galvanised steel with additional coating.
AKAPP spring driven cable
reels meet all applicable IEC international norms and standards and follow the latest
EU-requirements (CE-marking).
