e-spool® cable reel
Cable drums without slip rings
The igus® e-spool® cable reel safely guides many different cables in a confined space.The e-spool® cable reel uniquely combines two different energy supply systems: one standard energy chain is guided by a roller, providing the correct length and tension of the energy supply system through an integrated spring. In the home position, the energy chain is completely rolled up to save space. The twisterband connects the roller with the shaft end block, serving as an interface to the supply side cables.
- No tensile strain on the cables
- Energy supply is possible in all directions (horizontal, vertical, diagonal)
- Space-saving, no "chain station", as the energy chain is rolled up in the starting position, ensuring the paths remain clear
- Cables can be retrospectively added or changed
- Maximum extension and retraction speed 1m/s
Would you like more information about e-chains® or an individual consultation? Our experts will be happy to get in touch with you.
Please contact us if you have outdoor applications or your e-spool® cable reel will be operated overhead in a public area (spectator stands, stages, etc.) as the e-spool® system may have to be specially secured.

Frequently asked questions about cable retractor reels
Where are cable retractor reels used?
Cable reeling drums are typically found in the grid section of the theatre / Auditorium, Floor mounted, then using a bespoke roller system and guide hole through the grid floor, the cable management system is then connected to the ladder truss / Bridge.
How can a cable reeling drum function without a slip ring?
Our e-spool® uses our twisterband, which is fixed on the side of the cable drum, acting as a secondary cable management system. The twisterband offers great rotation movement in very small spaces so the e-spool® can be used in a confined area as well as offering a hardwired maintenance-free cable management system.
