GENERAL
Automatic cable rewinder provide for a modern power supply of workstations or the perfect supply of electrical energy, data, and signals
for mobile devices. The cable is only pulled out when needed and in the required length. The remainder stays neatly stored on the cable
reel and is protected from contamination and damage. The power connection is always accessible, but never in the way. The cable length
can be easily adapted to a changing work situation. There is no cable chaos, no tripping hazard anymore. If the cable connection is no
longer needed, a short pull on the cable stopper will suffice and the cable will roll up neatly. The automatic cable rewinder provides safety
and order.
In the MFK version, commercially available pre-assembled cables can be used without having to guide them via a rotary
transformer. The physical properties of the cable are retained.
HANDLING
The coiled cable should be pulled out to the required length against the spring tension, but please refrain from the use of undue force. The
cable is coiled and fixed in position as described under "LOCKING DEVICE". The cable should never be pushed in manually. If the cable
becomes entangled when winding it onto the reel, simply pull the cable out again and then rewind.
Attention
When rolling up and unrolling, the connection cable must be stored inside the coil and secured with the Velcro fastener (see
cable assembly). Otherwise, the line may be damaged and there is a risk of injury due to the swirling end of the connection
cable.
MAINTENANCE
The cable reel does not require any maintenance, due to the excellent antifriction properties of the plastic bearing. However, the cable
must be checked in regular intervals for damages and replaced if necessary.
SPIRAL SPRING
The spiral spring is subject to natural wear and tear and can result in a fatigue fracture of the spring steel. Based on experience, we
recommend changing the spring after approx. 30.000
operations. The term “operations” defines not only a complete winding and
unwinding of the spring but also includes a partial movement of the spring. For a safe replacement of the coil spring, please refer to
paragraph (“REPLACING THE SPIRAL SPRING”).
CABLE STOPPER
The length of the available cable can be individually adjusted with the provided cable stopper.
The reliable clamping adapts to various cable diameters between 6 and 12 mm. For a thicker
cable, a larger version is available. The stopper also serves as a safeguard against retraction
of the cable in case of a not intended release. It should therefore never be removed.
