AVAILABLE FOR ALL STANDARD AND MOST SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
 
This catalog provides details on sizes, capacities, specifications and designs. If you need additional information, contact your local factory representative. Full support is available upon request.
 

EASILY REMOVABLE SLIP RING ENCLOSURE... Removes quickly for inspection or service by virtue of the three toggle clamps. An "O" ring seal provides a watertight, dust-tight seal suitable for any type of atmosphere.
 
OPTIONAL ENCLOSURES, designed for hazardous areas (Class I and Class II), are available on request.
 

FAST, EASY BRUSH REPLACEMENT... Gleason's brush holder assembly features a unique spring design which permits quick brush removal while ensuring full contact throughout the life of the brush.
 
SIMPLE, POSITIVE SPOOL LOCK...
Available as an accessory to facilitate cable changing. Permits cable change while reel is under full tension. When released, reel will rewind entire length of new cable.
 
 
RUGGED FRAME BUILT TO LAST...
All-welded steel frame is fabricated from permanent welding fixtures to assure perfect alignment. A time-honored Gleason design places major operating components outboard of the frame for ready serviceability. Entire unit is phosphatized and painted with oven-baked enamel for a long-lasting, durable finish.
 
 

QUICK, ONE-PIECE REMOVAL... The entire slip ring assembly can be replaced as a unit, if necessary. No need to handle small parts. To remove, simply disconnect wiring and loosen two set screws on the shaft-locking collar.
 

EVEN WINDING IN MULTIPLE LAYERS... Edges of steel flanges on cable spool are die-formed to eliminate cable pileup in corners. Segmenting of inner drum permits adjustability to suit various cable diameters - a slight change in cable size may be accommodated by the same reel with only minor field adjustment.

FREE-WHEELING HUB FOR SPRING MOTOR...
Gleason's unique free-wheeling spring hub design allows for easy cable installation and spring tension adjustment. In addition, it protects the spring motor in the event that the cable is severed.
 
SAFETYCHANGE® SPRINGS ARE INDUSTRY’S FINEST!
 

 
Gleason uses high-quality spring steel to manufacture these "self-contained" main springs. All springs are lifetime lubricated prior to sealing in disposable Safetychange® housings. When used on multi-spring reels, all springs are connected in parallel so that, in the event that one spring fails, the reel is never without tension. This is a significant safety feature.
 

SAFE, SIMPLE SPRING TENSION ADJUSTMENT...
To adjust spring tension, simply remove the inspection cover and adjust with tension spanner wrench provided. No need to disconnect cable or disassemble reel. The correct number of spring pretension turns is indicated on each reel nameplate.
 

DESIGNED WITH YOUR SAFETY IN MIND...
The Safetychange® spring motor is a power spring sealed in a disposable housing, eliminating the need to handle loose springs. Located outboard on the frame, replacement is safe and easy and does NOT require the reel to be removed from its frame. All Safetychange® spring motors are equipped with an inspection hole to visually check the integrity of the spring while reel is in service.
 

 

PROTECTED GEARING... Gears used for reeling longer lengths of cable are protected from dust and moisture by a sealed housing. External grease fitting permits lubrication of gears during service without opening the enclosure. Various gear ratios are available to match specific reeling requirements.
 

NO SWEAT, NO STRAIN GEAR REMOVAL... Gleason's unique design permits gears to be changed without disassembly of major frame components. Simply remove the spring motor and its removable back plate to fully expose gears for fast, easy changeover.
