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. Various media can be supplied without interruption by the use of the twisterband. Adjustments and extensions of the filling are also possible at any time afterwards.
- Flexible energy supply - guidance of different media in one system
- Flexible use - energy supply in any direction is possible
- Cost-effective - twisterband enables rotary movement
- Space-saving - energy chain retracts into a compact unit
- No tensile strain on the cables
- Cables can be retrospectively added or changed
- iF Product Design Award 2013
FAQ - frequently asked questions
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.

Filling guidelines for the e-spool
Due to the particular mechanical stresses in an e-spool, we recommend using our chainflex cables. We also recommend that you observe the following distribution rules:
1. Cables may only be laid next to each other in the linear chain - never lay several cables on top of each other!
2. With unshielded cables, chainflex cables with TPE outer jacket should be used wherever possible.
3. Shielded cables should come from the chainflex cable family CFROBOT family.
4. The maximum bend radii of the twisterband used must be observed.
5. If possible, use separators to protect cables against overlapping and abrasion. To make the best possible use of the interior space, install the separator in alternate segments.
6. Lay cables according to diameter or insert bend radius - thin small ones inwards and larger ones outwards.
7. Apply strain relief to both ends of the cable. The cable tie knot must not be fitted in the direction of the chain.
8. The cables should be installed in the twisterband with clearance space both outwards and inwards from the rotary axis.
Installation instructions
In the case of a horizontally moving application, a smooth surface must be provided on which the energy chain can travel.
Assembly instructions
Real-world examples
Please contact us if you have one of the following application parameters:
- Outdoor applications
- e-spool applications that are operated overhead in the public area (spectator stands, stages, etc.)
For the applications mentioned, the e-spool system may have to be specially secured. Please contact your sales representative.
