Introduction

Cable Payout

Our spring operated cable reels serve the industry for reliable
electrification of equipment in motion; for automatic winding of
flexible power- and control-cables. They fully meet VDE and
other safety requirements.

is normally following the technical information on pages 16 to

18 of this catalog.
Other requirements can be fulfilled; add suffix A in the type
designation for opposite hand rotation.

Applications
include Portal- and Gantry Cranes, Dockside-, Ship- and Construction Cranes, Grabs and Magnets, Electric Hoists and other
material handling -lifting -stacking and -storing equipment.
This comprehensive line of the finest reels is also a proven
automatic cable and hose care taker in the following instances:
VAHLE Reels on board ships or in the tropics.
VAHLE Reels in aggressive environments (galvanizing
plants, pickling lines, sewage treatment systems).
VAHLE Reels in explosionproof versions (slipringless).
VAHLE Reels for Control-, Signal- and HighfrequencyTransmission.
VAHLE Reels for Air, Liquids and Gases (Hose Reels).
VAHLE Reels for handling steel ropes in travel distancetracking systems and for grab stability on heavy cranes
(Tag Line Reels).
VAHLE Reels for Curves and for Endless Monorails with
special swivel base.
VAHLE Reels of the Ratchet Type with a lock mechanism
for multi level machine tools and for push-button pendants.
VAHLE Reels for Flatform Cable (especially in the palette
stacking and machine tool industry).
VAHLE Reels in the Monospiral Version.
Vahle welcomes your inquiry on your particular application.

Limit Switch Assemblies

for switching off travel and hoist motors with one or two safety
windings on the reel are optional.

Accident Prevention
All moveable parts of the drive system, e.g. chaindrive are
covered in accordance with the Accident Prevention Code.
Therefore, the cable reels can be installed in work areas as well
as traffic areas. Additional protective devices, such as a cover
for the revolving reel body itself, are to be furnished and fitted
at site.

Corrosion Protection
The all-steel construction of the VLF 146 to VLF 530 reel series
is galvanized. All other reels come with one primer coat and
one finishing paint of epoxy-resin RAL 7031 blue-gray varnish.

Installation Information
Installation instructions and operation manuals for commissioning advice and assistance are attached to each reel shipment
and found in the slipring housing.

Reel Capability

Electrical Properties of Sliprings

Standard sliprings are rated for 500 Volt AC and 600 Volt DC;
Control Rings in block system for 230 Volts.
Collector Ring Ampere capacities are for 100% nominal rating.

Cable Length
Protection Code
Slipring enclosures are designed to IP 54; protected against
harmful dust deposits and splash water proof per DIN 40050.
Higher grade protection available upon request.

Drive System
The Reel Drive is achieved via helical springs of high quality
spring steel. Depending on the duty and type of service they
will last about 100.000 working cycles.

Reels are designed to handle a certain type and length of cable

in a specific manner. Never use reels for more cable than outlined in the selection charts.
The total cable length required results from maximum payout
length plus reel installation height plus two safety windings plus
free end length for connection.

Safety Advice
According to EEC-regulation 89/392/EWG rotating parts such
as reel compartments must be protected against accidents.

Flexible Cable

Cable selection and determining wire size ampacity,

considering permissible temperature rise.

Cable to be flexible, portable, generally neoprene jacketed or

tough rubber sheathed capable for the reel application and
for handling the full operating load and electrical requirements.

The reel selection charts are based on the cable data per table
No. 1, indicating continuous ampacity for 3-conductor open air
installation with an ambient temperature of 30 C.

Please refer to our Catalog No. 8 L for all cable data or contact
your local VAHLE agent or the factory for proper recommendations.

Turn to table No. 2 for intermittent service factors and use derating table No. 3 for other ambient temperature.
The derating for multilayer service is shown in table No. 4.
However, as many applications in practice do not have the
cable fully spooled all the time, it is recommended to use an
intermediate factor only.
Monospiral winding equals one-layer operation.

Factors in selecting cable for reel use, considering

motor currents, required wire sizes and allowable
voltage drop (A. C.):

All ratings in table No. 1 are based on 3-conductor assemblies

and must be derated for multiconductor service per table No. 5.

For applications 2, 4, 5 and reels beyond the listed

capacities, please contact your local VAHLE representative or the factory.
Use the reel data form on pages 25/26 of this catalog.
Having all the facts will ensure determining of the best
reel for your specific requirement.

Spare Parts

vertical lift
vertical retrieve
Reel is mounted above where cable is hoisted and payed-out vertically. Total cable length and weight plus any extra load (pushbutton
station, etc.) must be considered. The latter does not apply to case 9 where the reel is located below rather than above.

Selecting a VAHLE Cable Reel

To select the right Vahle Reel from the Reel Selection Charts
you must know the application (see page 5), the length and the
type of cable (wire size, number of conductors, outside diameter, weight per meter).

Legend to Selection Charts:

l

= max. operational length of cable (see page 5)

nv = Turns initial spring tension

L = max. length between reel and end of cable

(see page 5)

n = max. operational and permissible turns for max. cable

length l

h = max. height of reel above recovery surface

(see page 5)

Z = max. reel torque in newton (N)

f

LZ =

= max. cable sag in meters (see page 5)

No. of layers on reel

Note:
A broad selection of springs provides many different torque combinations.
Initial spring tension nv can be increased when reducing the max. cable length to be handled. However, never exceed the total
permissible turns nv + n.
