Bending life of metallurgical steel for reel cables

Key Technical Data

In harsh conditions such as mining and port loading and unloading, ordinary winding cables frequently suffer from sheath cracking, conductor core breakage, and internal twisting and bulging, leading to equipment downtime and high replacement costs. To address this pain point, Shanghai Cable Company has optimized both materials and processes for reel cables: the inner layer is composite galvanized steel wire rope/Kevlar fiber tensile components, the outer sheath is made of imported PUR material, which is wear-resistant, waterproof, oil-stain-resistant, UV-resistant, and has a bending radius ≤ four times the cable's outer diameter. In practical applications, the product has been recognized by customers in the mechanical, garbage hoist, and grab sectors for its wear resistance, polyurethane, and tensile strength. Supports custom orders according to drawings and direct shipment from stock. Please inquire for 13311756197 details.

Product Features

Suoqi (reel cable) uses a highly flexible conductor structure and an aramid fiber braided reinforced sheath structure. For tensile reel cables, a high-strength galvanized steel wire rope is also optional.

Application scenarios

Industrial automation, machinery manufacturing, port terminals, and mining operations

Introduction to reel cable products

Reel cable usage environment: The cable is suitable for drum machines, conveyors, and conveying machinery. It can be used as garbage crane grab reel cable, electric loader reel cable, and can also be used as a roll and trailing cable in drag chain systems, moving with the guidance of a support shaft or other similar device. The cable can be installed in dry or humid indoor or damp industrial environments, and can also be installed outdoors.

Customized services

Shanghai Suoqi Cable provides guidance for reel cable selection and custom services on demand. Cables with multiple cores and various specifications can be produced, with flexible combinations of in-stock and made-to-order products. For details, please contact 13311756197 (same number on WeChat).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum bending radius of a reel cable?

Generally, it should be no less than 6 times (6D) the outer diameter of the cable. For reel winding and unwinding conditions, it is recommended to check according to the diameter of the equipment drum to avoid long-term bending that could cause the sheath to crack.

How to choose the type of port reel cable?

It is necessary to specify the reel diameter, winding and unwinding speed, whether it will be exposed to water, and the temperature range. Preferably choose a PUR sheath with enhanced tensile strength, and verify the longitudinal waterproofing and salt spray resistance specifications.
