e-spool® Standard and HD Options
With the e-spool® standard and HD options, cables are wound up in an energy chain in a space-saving way. By using the twisterband, a wide variety of media can be guided without interruption. This means that adjustments and extensions of the filling system can also be made at any time.
- Flexible energy supply - routing of all media in one system
- Can be used in a variety of ways - energy supply possible in all directions
- Cost-effective - twisterband allows rotary movement
- Space-saving - energy chain retracts into a compact unit
- No tensile strain on the cables
- Cables can be added or changed at a later date
- iF Product Design Award 2013

Filling guidelines for the e-spool® cable reel
Due to the special mechanical stress in an e-spool®, we recommend using our chainflex® cable. We also recommend adhering to the following filling rules:
- Cables must be routed side by side within the linear chain, never stacked on top of one another.
- Wherever possible, use unshielded chainflex® cables with a TPE outer jacket.
- For shielded applications, use cables from the chainflex® CFROBOT series.
- Always adhere to the maximum bend radius specified for the twisterband.
- Use separators where possible to protect cables from flashover and abrasion. For optimal use of internal space, install separators alternately in consecutive segments.
- Arrange cables by diameter or bend radius: place smaller, more flexible cables toward the inside and larger ones toward the outside.
- Ensure strain relief at both ends of each cable. Cable tie knots must not be positioned in the direction of the chain.
- Cables should be installed in the twisterband with sufficient clearance both inward and outward relative to the rotary axis.
Installation Instructions
For horizontally moving applications, ensure a smooth and even surface is provided for the energy chain to travel on.

Frequently asked questions regarding e-spool®
When many different cables should be routed in very confined spaces. Different media (power, air and fluids) can be routed together in one system.
- e-spool flex and e-spool SPC with manual extension when only one cable is to be routed very slowly or manually.
- The theatre e-spool in overhead applications in public spaces
- All other e-spool spring cable drums should be selected depending on the extension length and filling volume/cable diameter
- e-spool flex with 10,000 movements
- e-spool standard with 70,000 cycles
- e-spool HD with 40,000 cycles
- Theatre e-spool with 40,000 cycles
In view of the special mechanical stress inside an e-spool, we recommend using igus chainflex cables. We also recommend that the following guidelines are observed:
- Where possible, cables with a TPE outer jacket should be used for unshielded cables.
- Shielded cables should be chosen from the CFROBOT range.
- All cables should have an outer diameter of < 17mm.
- The maximum bend radii of 44mm in the inner radius and 77mm in the outer radius are observed.
