e-spool® standard and HD options

With the e-spool® standard and the HD version, cables in an energy chain are wound up in a space-saving manner. By using the twisterband, a wide variety of media can be guided without interruption. This means that adjustments and extensions of the filling system can also be made at any time.

More flexibility:

Unlike e.g. sliding contacts, cables for data, compressed air and liquids can also be connected continuously and, above all, exchanged or changed at any time.

Variable energy supply - routing of all media in one system
Can be used in a variety of ways - energy supply possible in all directions
Inexpensive - twisterband allows rotational movement
Space-saving - energy chain rolled up in the starting position, the paths remain clear
No tensile load on the cables
Cables can be added and changed at a later date

Filling rules for standard e-spools®

Due to the special mechanical stress in an e-spool, we recommend using our chainflex® cables. In addition, we recommend adhering to the following filling rules:

1. In the linear chain, cables must only be placed next to each other - never lay several cables on top of each other!
2. In the case of unshielded cables, chainflex® cables with a TPE outer sheath should be used if possible.
3. Shielded cables should come from the chainflex® cable family, CFROBOT family.
4. The maximum bending radii of the twister belt used must be adhered to.
5. If possible, protect cables with dividers to prevent them from rolling over and abrasion against each other. To make the best possible use of the interior space, install the divider alternately in segments one behind the other.
6. Insert cables sorted by diameter or bending radius - insert thin, small, inwardly and outwardly increasing larger ones.
7. Relieve tension at both ends of the line. The cable tie knot must not be mounted in the direction of the chain.
8. The cables should be laid in the twisterband® in such a way that they have some distance/space reserve both outwards and inwards to the axis of rotation.

Installation instructions

In the case of a horizontal application, a smooth surface must be provided on which the energy chain can move.
