AKAPP Cable reels Series AVS28

AKAPP Spring driven reels, series AVS28

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 "AVS28" 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.

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. The springs can be replaced without removing the drum.

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. Protection: IP65/66.

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 AVS28 reels. All steel plates and parts are either hot dip galvanised or have

a polyester coating. Standard color of the flanges is yellow, the color of the drum is blue.
Standard with stainless steel bolts and nuts. As option, all external parts can be fitted 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).
