e-spool® cable reel

Cable drums without slip rings

The igus® e-spool® cable reel safely guides many different cables in a confined space.The e-spool® cable reel uniquely combines two different energy supply systems: one standard energy chain is guided by a roller, providing the correct length and tension of the energy supply system through an integrated spring. In the home position, the energy chain is completely rolled up to save space. The twisterband connects the roller with the shaft end block, serving as an interface to the supply side cables.

• No tensile strain on the cables
• Energy supply is possible in all directions (horizontal, vertical, diagonal)
• Space-saving, no "chain station", as the energy chain is rolled up in the starting position, ensuring the paths remain clear
• Cables can be retrospectively added or changed
• Maximum extension and retraction speed 1m/s

When to use the e-spool® cable retractor reel system:

• When many different cables should be routed in very confined spaces
• When different media (power, data and fluids) can be routed together in one system

When to use another cable reel system:

• For cables with large bend radii
• With very high loads that have to be guided vertically

How organised is your stage cable management?

In the theatre and stage industry, space constraints behind the scenes can cause problems for designers and engineers, so products such as the igus® e-spool® and zig zag chains are ideal for such applications which require stage cable management. 
The e-spool® is a cable reel system but works without a slip ring. This drum allows different cable types to be safely guided together. Since most reels can only carry one cable this can drastically reduce the number of units (and therefore space and cost) required.
