Cable Reels

Since many years Cavotec Specimascable reels have been used in avariety of operations supplyingpower, air and water to equipmentin the general industry andautomation sector.

The Cavotec Specimas reputation inthis market segment has beenestablished by supplying innovative,robust systems together withspecialised engineering staff toprovide support where needed.

The Hydrodynamic System is an uniquepatented system which provides asimple and rational solution for manycable and hose reel applications. Thesystem is based on a torque unit inwhich reduction gear, clutch and brakeare built into one closed unit.Furthermore, thanks to the clutchacting directly on the main drum shaft,an even torque output is guaranteed.

Cavotec Specimas also providesanother type of system called theCavotec Torque Control system. This provides a constant pull on thecable following a torque referencesignal based on cable weight and

length, speed, and acceleration. Themain benefit of this system is asignificantly improved cable lifetime.The system can be used for single-phase and three-phase AC and also forDC feed. The standard protection classis IP55 and is suitable for environmenttemperatures up to +40 C°. Specialventilation and motor insulation aresupplied for higher temperatureranges.

To guarantee maximum supportto its customers CavotecSpecimas has a team ofspecialised engineers for 24/7service demands anywhere in the world.

Slipring Columns

The Cavotec Group has always beena main supplier of slipring columnsto the general industry andautomation sector. Cavotec Alfo inGermany and Cavotec Specimas inItaly, both specialized Centres ofExcellence, manufacture a widerange of slipring columns for thetransfer of power and signals inmany diverse applications.

By using stringent quality controlmeasures together with the latest inpower transfer technology, thesliprings manufactured by theCavotec Group are of the highestquality and meet all applicable IECnorms and standards.

SK/GSK Slipring ColumnsThese units are manufactured byCavotec Alfo in Germany and are theresult of more than 30 years ofresearch and operational experience.By producing standard components inlarge series, Cavotec Alfo is able tomeet both standard and specialrequirements at competitive prices andwith short delivery times. The slipringcolumn itself is mounted in a solidglass-fibre reinforced plastic housingwhich withstands corrosion andmechanical wear.

KK Slipring ColumnsCavotec Specimas slipring columns areat work in thousands of applicationsaround the world. During the last 35years these units have built up areputation for their excellent reliability,flexibility, compactness and extremeresistance to corrosion. Standstill slipringapplications often require a high degreeof amperage derating which often leadsto an increased size of the brushgear. Byusing the specially designed KP brushesthere is no size increase, allowing theKK slipring columns to remain theleading option for applications wherespace is at a premium.

On request the Cavotec Groupcan also supply explosion proof

slipring columns.

Power Connectors

The Cavotec Power Connectors havebeen present in the field ofindustrial power supply for morethan 20 years starting in the harshenvironment of the Scandinavianmines and hydro-electric tunnels.

Today the high quality, strength andintegral safety of the Cavotecconnectors have set the standardconcerning high and low voltagepower supply to many differenttypes of equipment. Not only inmining and tunnelling but also inhundreds of general industry andautomation applications around the world.

Cavotec Connectors for low and highvoltage applications are robustlydesigned, with a standard IP 66protection and a standard maximumtemperature of 80°C. The range of lowvoltage power connectors, available in avariety of sizes, are made in twodifferent operating systems:

1. The "Push & Pull" system is preferredwhen the connectors have to bedisconnected manually orautomatically several times a day.

2. The "Screw Ring" system hasspecial connectors fitted with screwrings for applications with manualdisconnections on a day-to-day orweekly basis.

The high quality, strength and integralsafety of the Cavotec Connectors haveset the standard concerning high andlow voltage power supply to manydifferent types of equipment used inapplications around the world.

The easy to use Push & Pullsystem guarantees a safe andreliable connection, even in themost extreme working conditions.

Cable Chains

Founded in 1976 in Italy, BrevettiStendalto was the first companyever to produce cable chains madefrom nylon. The production of thisrevolutionary concept marked thebeginning of the global introductionof this new system to protect cablesand hoses. Today, the company is anacknowledged leader and one of themost important manufacturers ofnylon and steel cable chains inEurope.

Thanks to their innovative designthe Brevetti cable chains provideconsiderable efficiency and costgains by allowing the application tomove faster while fully protectingthe cables and hoses inside. Thechains allow for any type of combi-nation of cables and are easy tomaintain. Extensive endurance testscarried out by leading crane manu-facturers and certification instituteshave proven the reliability of thesystem even in the most extremeworking conditions.

The Brevetti cable chains are the provenalternative for protecting power supplycables in many different applications.With this system power and controlcables are carried safely and fullyprotected by heavy-duty nylon or steelchains over long or short distances athigh speeds. The main advantages ofthis system are that the cable length andweight are halved, it allows high speeds,it allows separation of power andcontrol cables and has a very low andeasy maintenance need.

Endurance tests carried out by leadingcrane manufacturers and the manyapplications at work have proven thereliability of the system and its cleareconomic advantages.

Cable chains are uniquelysuited to high speed

operations where cableprotection is vital to the

application.
