Cable Locking Ratchets
Industrial Reelites™ normally provide for constant cable tension
which automatically rewinds any excess or slack cable. In
applications where constant tension is not desired after cable has
been pulled out to the required length, a cable locking ratchet is
available. When normal spring tension is again needed to rewind
the cable, the ratchet can be released by a short tug. Reelites™
in the AERL Series are all supplied with ratchets. However, their
ratchets are locked out so that constant tension is provided. If
the ratchet is needed, it can be easily engaged in the field by the
simple removal of two screws.
Note: Model AERL22-RB5 has the ratchets engaged.
Cable Outlets
Where cable payout is not in direct line with the reel drum, it is
important that the proper cable outlet guide be selected to prevent
cable damage and excessive wear, minimized friction and provide
proper cable piling on the drum.
