Cable reel e-spool® flex
Without slip ring, uninterrupted, flexible use
A cable reel is used to wind up cables in a safe and space-saving way without tripping hazards. It keeps cable management organised. The e-spool flex is the innovative igus solution without slip ring. Thanks to its modular design, the e-spool flex cable reel is ideal for all areas - on industrial robots, in car workshops, on stages or for the interior lighting of trailers. The cable is always guided safely via a feed-through to ensure that it is always wound up properly.
Advantages of our cable reel:
- No slip ring: Uninterrupted supply of power, data and air
- Easy to replace:
- Space-saving: Coiled cables require less storage space
- Clean and tidy: No tangled cables
- Longer cable service life: No kinking or knotting
- Universal assembly: On the floor, ceiling or wall
- Constant tensile strain on the cable
- Cable snap mechanism

FAQ - frequently asked questions
A cable reel ensures that cables are rolled up in a safe, organised and space-saving way. It prevents cable breakages and tripping hazards and ensures a long service life for the cables.
The e-spool flex can realise up to 10,000 movements.
Fibre optic cables and hydraulic hoses are unsuitable for use in the e-spool flex.
Yes, the e-spool flex cable reel is designed in such a way that the customer's own cables can be inserted without any problems.
Possible areas of application are control pendants on robots, cable retraction systems for workshop and production areas, cable retraction systems for sensitive measuring cables**,** floor-cleaning machines (moisture) or for the interior lighting of trailers.
An automatic cable reel uses a spring mechanism to unwind and rewind the cables, allowing uninterrupted transmission of power or data. The e-spool flex does this entirely without a slip ring.
