Typical applications: Small to medium overhead cranes, conveyors, monorails, hoists
Hevi-Bar II Conductor Bar
The Conductix-Wampfler Hevi-Bar II conductor bar uses surface area to dissipate heat. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically to function according to your needs in many instances. Conductix-Wampfler Hevi-Bar II conductor bar is available from Clutch Engineering and it is designed to last for the life of your equipment. Optional Dura-Coat finish provides protection in corrosive environments. (When mounting web brackets, take special care in aligning the brackets at precisely the same height as to assure level travel of the system.) Web brackets may be mounted by bolting the bracket to the support structure or by welding the bracket in place.

These cable reels feature rugged all-steel construction for use in tougher conditions while maintaining their efficacy. These reliable cable reels are designed for long service life without extensive maintenance, if any. A ratchet mechanism locks the cable at the desired length and can also be disabled as needed. The reel may be mounted by bolting the base to any flat surface which is structurally sound enough to support it and the forces of winding and unwinding the cable.
Available cable length: 20 to 80 ft (6.1 to 24.38 m)

RhinoReel Cable Reel
Clutch Engineering offers the Conductix Wampfler RhinoReel to meet some of the most demanding mill applications. This is a spring-driven cable wheel that uses linear springs rather than traditional clock springs. These features result in longer life and a smooth, linear torque curve. The linear torque curve creates the smoothest operating reel on the market, without any erratic motion. The life time lubricated ball screw and chain/sprocket drive system require no routine maintenance. This longer life translates to less machinery downtime and a lower cost of ownership.
Typical applications: Magnet cranes, grapples, transfer cars
