Conductix-Wampfler Cables for Reeling Systems

Handling Instructions
Fitting reel cables
A transport reel with cables should
always be rolled in the winding direction
of the cable (usually marked with an
arrow). (1.1)
The unwinding of the transport reel
onto a spiral reel should be carried out
in accordance with (2.1). The stranding
direction specified by production must
be observed during this process.
Unwinding against the stranding
direction (2.2) , that is, against the
stranding and winding directions, can
lead to a tendency for the strands
to reverse direction in their bundles,
hindering correct function and even
leading to later failure of the cable.
Stranding direction
Our power cables are generally
produced with a LEFTwards stranding
direction. Control cables, however, are
generally produced with a RIGHTwards
stranding direction.
For reels that are cylindrical, therefore,
we recommend starting the winding on
the left side of the reel. (4.1) This leads
to a more regular, cleaner winding,
since the cable's stranding direction will
cause it to tend towards the left. If you
start the winding on the right, this can
lead to irregular winding / placement of
the cable on the reel. (4.2)

Unwinding must not take place with a bend,
such as a 90° angle!

In rare cases, it may occur that there
is already a twist on the transport reel.
This can generally be noted by the fact
that the cable winding there is already
irregular and shows stress or twisting.
Here, we recommend entirely unreeling
the cable as shown (5), stretching it out,
and removing the twist.
After stretching and untwisting,
place the cable back onto the reel as
described in (4.1).
