APPLICATIONS
The EPLRL-100-HR is ideal for hoists, moving equipment, and large electric tools. They are suitable for vertical
recovery, vertical recovery, horizontal stretch, and drag applications. Where minimum cable sag is not
critical, our industrial cord reels can be used for stretch service where an expected cable sag at mid-point of
10% is allowable.
DEFINITION OF CORD REEL APPLICATIONS
Horizontal Stretch
Cable is suspended in the air, supported at both ends. The tension must
accommodate about twice the total weight of the cable to maintain an acceptable
6% sag.
Drag
The reel is mounted in a permanent location. Cable is dragged over surface to
and from fixed mounted reel. The tension required is about the same as the lift
application.
Vertical Lift
Reel is mounted overhead. Cable pays out downward and is retracted up via
spring power. Reel must have enough tension to lift the total weight of the cable
and any additional weight attached to it, e.g., pendant station, cable overhang.
Recovery
Mounted on a moving carrier, reel picks up cable from stationary base. The closer
the reel is to the recovery surface, the less tension is required.
Vertical Recovery
Base mounted reel pays out cable upward. The reel is required only to recover the
cable on the spool, as the cable moves downward. Minimal tension is needed to
recover cable into the reel.a
