In industrial systems, moving electricity for moving equipment such as cranes, hoists and production line machines requires flexible and resistant cables. A cable reel is used to prevent cables from twisting and damaging when moving the device. The type of cable is also very important, the two main models are flat cable and round cable, each of which has its own use in industries.
Crane cable reel
definition
Crane cable reel (Cable Reel) is a mechanism for collecting and unwinding the cable during the movement of industrial equipment such as overhead cranes, gantry cranes or elevators. This system prevents twisting and tearing of the cable and increases the life of the cable.
Types of cable reels
- Spring reel (Spring Type)with internal spring force automatically collects the cable after each movement. Suitable for light or medium cranes.
- Motor Driven Reel has an electric motor for precise control of cable retracting and opening in heavy cranes.
- Manual Reel A simpler type that retracts by the user. It is used for non-moving or educational systems.
Technical features
- Body material: stainless steel or cast aluminum
- Supportable cable length: up to 50 meters
- Protection degree: IP55 to IP67 (resistant to moisture and dust)
- Can be installed on the wall, ceiling or mobile chassis
- Rotation angle up to 360 degrees
benefits
- Preventing cable breakage or crushing
- Increasing the safety of employees in an industrial environment
- Regulating the path of cables in a mobile crane
- Reducing the cost of maintaining cables
Flat cable
definition
Flat Cable is a type of flat cable where the strands are arranged together. This type of design is ideal for horizontal or vertical movements of cranes and overhead lifts.
structural features
- Flat and uniform shape with durable PVC coating
- Very high flexibility in the longitudinal axis
- Resistance to wear and tear due to frequent movement
- Common dimensions: width 20 to 40 mm, thickness about 8 mm
- Number of strands from 4 to 24 strands, depending on the type of circuit
benefits
- No twisting when the crane moves
- Simple installation on the carriage or pulley
- Suitable for moving applications with a linear path
- Economical price compared to round cable
Applications
- Overhead and rail cranes
- Industrial lifts and elevators
- Production line automation machines
- Plastic and CNC injection systems
round cable
definition
Round Cable is the usual design of cables whose cross-section is circular and the strands are located in a spiral inside the main sheath. This type of cable is mostly used in rotational or variable movements and is more durable than flat cable.
Features
- Coating material: PVC, rubber, or PUR resistant to oil and heat
- High mechanical resistance against stretching and twisting
- Working temperature tolerance from -30 to +80 degrees Celsius
- Working voltage: 300/500 V or 450/750 V
- Can be used to power moving equipment, panels and three-phase motors
benefits
- High resistance to tearing and mechanical pressure
- Suitable for use in crane motor pulleys
- 3D flexibility for rotating or diagonal paths

Choosing the right cable for the crane pulley
In selecting the type of cable for the reel, the following should be considered:
- Type of movement of the device (linear or rotary)
- Length of cable movement
- Intensity of current and supply voltage
- Number of strands and cable section
- Environmental conditions (moisture, oil, dust)
Pishru Sanat Yazd will help you choose the right flat or round cable for the crane with free advice on choosing the best industrial cable and reel.
summary
Crane cable pulley, flat cable and round cable are the main components in mobile power transmission systems. Flat cable is best suited for linear runs and overhead reels, while round cable is best for rotary motion or heavy industrial environments.
