Igus e-spool flex to guide cables without slip ring

By May 7, 2021 6:00 pm IST

In order to be able to use tools and operating panels flexibly in production, they require appropriately long cables and hoses.

However, these are often strewn across the hall floor without any protection and constitute a tripping hazard. Cable reels with slip rings offer a solution for energy transmission, but are often only available as a complete package with a new cable. A further disadvantage: the fast transmission of large amounts of data and media is very complicated with slip rings.

This is why igus has now developed the e-spool flex, a cable reel with a worm guide. The new cable winder does not require a slip ring at all, so that bus cables and hoses for air and liquids can also be guided without interruption. “The user can easily install his existing cable in the system. This saves costs and increases the safety of his workplace”, explains Jörg Ottersbach, Head – E-chains Business Unit, igus GmbH.

Extension lengths of up to 15 metres possible

The new e-spool flex is available in two versions: one is a low-cost version with a manual turner to wind up the cable or an automatic solution with a brake and a spring-driven return mechanism. The e-spool flex is available in three sizes for cables with a diameter of 5 to 11 millimetres and an extension length of 5 to 15 metres.

The cables can be quickly replaced at any time. In addition to a subsequent integration of the e-spool flex with an existing cable, igus also offers the cable reel solution fully harnessed with chain flex cables specifically designed for moving applications. Thanks to numerous tests in the company’s own 3,800 square metre test laboratory, igus gives a unique 36-month guarantee on all cables.
