Hannay Reels NSCR700 heavy-duty
spring rewind cable reel features a
compact mounting base and narrow
frame for use with live electrical
cable involving power tools, lighting,
machinery, generators and more.
This configuration allows easy
installation in any confined area where
working space is limited.
A powerful spring motor provides
self-contained rewind power, a
non-sparking ratchet assembly locks the
reel in place when the desired length
of cable is paid out and a declutching
arbour prevents against damage from
reverse winding for quick set-up and
take-down.
The NSCR700 houses a standard
3-conductor, 45 amp, 600 volt collector
assembly with 8 gauge wiring from the
collector ring to the junction box.
Accommodating 50 to 120-feet of 14/3
to 8/3 AWG live electrical cable, this
model is equipped with a four-way
adjustable roller assembly.
A cable stop is also available to prevent
roller and connector damage and permit
cable length adjustment.

Causing a storm
AIM’s patented AFM 3D8-S is capable
of unmatched versatility, fast output
and low cost maintenance. Hybrid
forming technology provides the user
with the competiveness needed in
today’s ever-changing marketplace.
Models available are from 2.5mm to
16mm.
Standard two-year warranty, DXF
importation, animation simulator and
ease of programming are a few of the
features on the AFM series machines. In
addition, options include inline drilling,
chamfering, press operations, marking
and part numbering.
Upgraded and updated 2D and 3D
CNC wire bending solutions, single
and double bending head machines
with Fanuc robotics integration and
complete automated systems are all
options from AIM.
Completely automated work cell
solutions take wire from coil, form, weld
and systematically arrange the finished
parts.
In all instances, wire can be fed directly
from a coil, straightened, bent and
cut using a software package that
provides flexibility and simplicity in
programming and is offered in all
“universal languages.”

Resins
improve wire
and cable
compounds
Ensuring increased crosslink density,
improved electrical properties and better
water resistance, Ricon® polybutadiene
resins from Cray Valley are an effective
choice for manufacturers looking to
create high-performance wire and cable
compounds for harsh environments.
These resins are particularly effective
in applications such as down-hole oil
well service cables and submerged
large-diameter, high-voltage power
transmissions lines that require the
highest level of moisture resistance.
Ricon resins act as coagents to improve
physical and electrical properties in EPM/
EPDM and EVA/EVM rubber compounds.
Functionalised polybutadiene resins also
improve the performance properties of
CPE rubber compounds.
Ricon products are also effective cure
coagents for peroxide-cured formulations
of saturated elastomers. Using these
resins as a curing agent also lessens the
possibility of homopolymerisation and
increases the delta torque in most rubber
compounds.
Ricon resins are more soluble than most
monomeric coagents currently used in
wire and cable formulations, improving
cross-linking density by making more
efficient use of radicals.
The resins provide a more uniform
cross-link for better overall performance
characteristics. At the same time they will
not significantly alter the polarity of the
compound.
Incorporating Ricon resins improves
electrical properties such as volume
resistivity and dielectric strength.
These coagents can also show dramatic
reduction of water swell in polymer
compounds compared to other additives.
Ricon resin functionality is valuable and
effective in a range of applications in the
wire and cable manufacturing industry.
These polybutadiene resins are especially
suitable for applications where durability,
water resistance, and improved electrical
properties are required in challenging
environments.
