ELECON CABLE REELING DRUMS

Alwasy step ahead in technology

INRODUCTION
ELECON cable Reeling Drums are provided with a Contorq Drive Units. It consists gearded motor, contorq unit, gear box, etc. The ELECON contorq reeling system has been developed to provide a low cost, no maintenance simple solution to your cable and hose reeling drums. Contorq Cable Reeling Drums are simple in construction and use standard AC, DC, air or hydraulic motor as prime mover. It can also be fifted iwth a flame proof or marine specification motor. These units are modular in construction which use common components among various models. The design is such that it reduces tension in the reeled cable compared with other forms of drive. If has a totally enclosed transmission on most drives and go with fully sealed bearings. Purged labyrinth seals can be provided on request, it can replace other forms of cable reeling drives with minimum modifications. Due to all these advantage Controrq Cable Reeling Drum is an optimal solution as long as economy and protection of cable are concerned. All contorq drive units use as the slipping interface a unique oil immersed and cooled friction medium and are rated for continous reeling duty. Contorq drive units are capable of being adjusted from minimum to maximum torque value with relative ease. so, providing site adjustments as a feature in the event of increased cable weight and diameter or other variations in machine performance. The slipping interface of contorq unit is easily removable without disturbing either the slipings or the cable/hose. The internal design of cotorq drive unit circulates the lubricant with such a beneficial effect on thermal properties that no external cooling fan is required. The lubricant is a synthesised hydro-carbon type, giving the advantages of low co-efficient of friction, extended temperature range of -40 Celsius to +160 Celsius, and extermely long life. Four sizes of drive units are available from stock components, 20, 40,60 and 80. Varying in size from 200 to 1,000 watts. Nineteen combinations of drive units can be used to offer solutions to the more demanding requirements of todays material handling plant. deferent sizes of contorq units are CT - 20, CT - 40, CT - 60 an d CT - 80.

TYPE : Cable Reeling Drum is used on the mobile equipments for the power supply. Cable Reeling Drums are following types based on the cable laying on drum. RANDOM LAY R While selecting random lay reel care should be taken particularly with reference to cable de-rating factors. MONOSOPIRAL LAY M This type of reel offers controlled reeling of all types of cable and is recommended for high speeds and accelerations.

3/2 LAY S
The 3/2 layering method is a compromise between Monosprial and Random lay reels and exploits a natural phenomenon of cable layering which allows a controlled format without separate layering mechanism. Although power cables have to de-rated more than for monosprial lay, this format offers a smaller dimensioned reel and is especially usefull for control reels where current de-rating is not a problem. An additional advantage is that due to reduced ineritias, a smaller drive unit may be employed. Generally the most economical reeling solution.

PARALLEL LAY P
The parallel reel offers the best machanical solution in terms of low cable tension althought the construction is generally more expensive than radial reels. This type of reel usually employed for longer cable lengths, where reel inertia could be a problem. There is virtually no limit to the length of cable that can be recovered on the parellel lay reel. Contorq reels have enclosed chain driven layering mechanism which is coal and iron are tolerant and has been specifically designed for these industries. The reel will accommodate 1, 2 or 3 layer of cable of hose.

DRUM BODY : Drum body is fabricated from the hollow section. DRIVE UNIT : Drive unit consists of geared motor, contorq unit, special worm gear box etc. contorq unit is ftted on input shaft of the gear box. Slipring assly. is fitted on other end of the drum shaft. LIMIT SWITCHES : Overtension, undertension. Limit switches are provided to protect the cable. SELECTION : We have developed a sophisticated computer programme for the design of driven reels and this is used for all selections. The programme checks the tension at various points during the machines travel and ensure that, at no time will over tensioning occur. By computing different combinations of drive ratios and reel diameters, coupled with inherent of the contorq reeling system. The most efficient and econimic solution is obtained. FOR THE PROPER SELECTION OF CABLE REELING DRUM FOLLOWING DATA ARE REQUIRED : 1. MACHINE DESCRIPTION. 2. TRAVEL LENGTH OF MACHINE. 3. LOCATION OF FEED. (i.e. At the centre OR at the end) 4. TRAVEL SPEED OF MACHINE. (A) OPERATIONAL. (B) IDLE. 5. CABLE DETAILS : (A) CABLE DIAMETER. (B) CABLE WEIGHT Kg/m. (C) BENDING RADIOUS. (D) SAFE PULLING TENSION. (E) LENGTH OF CABLE ON THE DRUM. (F) CABLE SIZE.

ADVANTAGES OF THE CONTORQ DRIVE UNIT OVER TORQUE MOTOR

1. Contorq drive unit is specifically designed for cable reeling drum. It is designed to slip when sepcific torque setting is exceeded. Excess or over tension is not possible from drive unit. 2. Contorq drive unit is completely mechanicaly adjustable from zero to the torque rating required. Varible machine speed is accomdated through slipping speed at the discface without the neccessity of additional controls. 3. The contorq drive unit do not require resistance boxes. 4. Power requirement with contorq unit is less as compared to torque motor, so it is economical to use. 5. As variety of contorq unit is only four and genrally 60 BST are used. So, that for project common spares can be used. Torque motor is extablished drive form adapted for reeling purpose. Additional tension is applied to the cable while passing over centre point. Torque motor drive once selected can only be adjusted by variation of the resistance banks. Motor performances is adversely affected by an increase in the resistance in excess of 30%. Resistance boxes are required for the torque motor and are to be located near the torque motor. Power reuirement with torque motor is high as compared to contorq drive unit. So, it is uneconomical. Different torque motor require for different reeler application. So that variety of spares require to keep in stock.
