COUNTER WEIGHT OPERATED CABLE REELING DRUM

The most dependable Reeling Drums are Counter Weight Operated Cable Reels. The winding force or tension of the drum is produced by a set of weight, which are lifted during unwinding of cable. These units are longest life equipments because of its simplicity in construction, which requires a little more space, compared to other types of reels. The counter Weight is suspended by means of rope, which is wound on a rope drum, attached to the main shaft of Cable Reeling Drums. As the drum is rotated in pay off direction of cable, the rope of the Counter Weight winds and lifts the set of required weights accordingly. The rope drum is made conical to take care of the varying tension requirement of spool at different radial diameter from bottom layer to top layer of the cable at different travel distance.

The Ropes are passed over set of pulleys properly turbinated and the main drum is supported by antifriction bearings for smooth operation.

The Counter Weight is provided with Guide Bars for restricting Oscillation while mounted on mobile machines.

The Reeling Drum is provided with sliprings machined at high tolerance for proper contact of copper Graphite Carbon brushes for smooth collection of power.

Incoming and outgoing Cable Glands are provided for termination of flexible and armored cables. The Reeling Drum is provided with an electrical brake wi6th mechanical hand release arrangement for provision of changing plug points for suitability of the drum in the event of a long travel distance with small length of cable on the drum.

Suitable plug sockets for changeable feed point are also provided for such application on request.

The counter Weight Drums are best suitable for location where required space can be found available even by placing the Counter Weight at a distance from the Reeling Drum.

These Drums require least maintenance and are trouble free in operation for decades which can be achieved by timely lubricating the rotating parts and the rope.

Adjustability to varying cable dimension can also be achieved by
