Reel Construction
REELS
Made in
the USA
Five Basic Parts:
Base/Stand: Supports and mounts the reel
Spring Motor: Motor which rotates the spool
Spool: Composed of a Drum and two Flanges
Definition of Terms:
Active Length: The difference between the minimum and maximum payout of cable
Safety Wrap: Cable that stays on the reel at maximum payout (Usually 2 complete wraps)
Sag Factor: The effect of gravity on actual travel length during stretch applications (6% - 10%)
Lift Height: The distance between where the cable lays to the center line of spool
Payout: Pulling cable out of the reel
Retract or Rewind: Rewinding cable back into the reel
Slip Ring: Transfers power from a stationary source to rotating source
Roller Guide: Guides the cable during payout and rewind

Specifying Your Cable Reel
Made in
the USA
REELS
Follow these three steps to make sure you get the best
reel for your application needs. Your local representative
or the sales team at our factory are glad
to help if you need additional assistance.
Step 1: Mechanical Requirements:
• How will the reel be used? Stretch, Lift, Drag, or
Retrieve? (See left for guidance)
• What type of environment will the reel be located in?
(Indoors, outdoors, corrosive environment)
• What is the Duty Cycle? (How often will be reel payout
and retract?)
• What is the maximum speed of equipment?
(Maximum r
ecommended speed is 150 feet per minute)
Step 2: Electrical Requirements:
• How much amperage is the cable expected to handle?
• At what voltage?
• What will the reel be required to handle: power, control,
or communication signals?
• Ho
w many total conductors are required? (Please
include one conduc
tor for dedicated ground)
• What gauge (AWG) cable is required? The amperage
and total number of conductors required will
determine the gauge
Step 3: Cable Length Requirements:
• ADD: Active Length: The difference between the
minimum operating payout
• PLUS: Inactive Length: Cable that always stays out of
the reel,
even at full retraction
• PLUS: Safety Wrap:* Cable that stays on the reel at
maximum pay
out - See note below for details
• PLUS: Sag Factor - (Stretch Only): Add 10% to Active
and Inactive Length total
• Lift Height - (Drag/Retrieve): The distance between
where the cable lays up to the spool center line. Max 4’
• Hook up Length: Cable required for termination at both
ends - 2-3’ Spool End
* NO
TE: • Series 4000 = 2’
• Series 5000 = 2’
• Series 6000 = 5’
• Series 7000 = 5’
• Series 8000 = 3’
Stretch
The cable is “stretched” horizontally and is unsupported. The reel may be
stationary mounted or mounted onto moving equipment. Cable is pulled
out by machine. An extra 6% -10% in cable beyond active travel is
required for cable sag.
Lift
The reel needs to “lift” the cable vertically. The reel is usually stationary.
Cable is pulled out of the reel by machine or by hand (as with an overhead
light source or a pendant station.)
Retrieve
The reel needs to pickup (“retrieve”) the cable. The reel is mounted
on moving equipment. Cable is pulled out by machine.
Drag
The reel needs to “drag” the cable through supports or along the ground
horizontally. The reel is usually stationary. Cable can be pulled out by hand
or by machine. Note: This application is the hardest on cable life.
