CONTINUOUS CONTACT
WB REELS
 
 
Gleason WB Reels are continuous contact reels ideal for use in applications where slip ring assemblies are not desired. No slip rings, or other sliding contacts are used - a dual spool and pulley system safely and efficiently pays out and rewinds the cable.
 
The absence of electrical contact points on WB Reels make them an outstanding choice for applications involving portable or movable communication or instrumentation equipment. Such equipment could be adversely affected by the varying resistance of sliding electrical contacts or undue twisting of cords or cables resulting in varying impedance. 		  WB Reels are also a smart choice for hazardous locations where electrical parts on the reel would require dust-tight or explosion-proof protection.
 
A roller guide is included as standard equipment. A holding dog for window shade-type action can be furnished when required.
 
FIBER OPTIC CABLE of same approximate O.D. as SO shielded cable listed can be used with Series "WB" reels. Contact your factory representative for details.
 
WB REEL
SELECTION CHARTS		 WB Reels are selected using the standard process shown in the front of this catalog.
 
Reel models in selection charts based on travel speed of 150 fpm and 4 CONDUCTOR shielded cable. Stretch reels based on 6% sag. Retrieve reels based on 3 ft lift to center line of reel.
 
Necessary reeling tensions suggest the use of high quality cable for good service life.
 
FOR CABLE SIZES NOT LISTED, CONSULT YOUR FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE.
MAXIMUM CABLE O.D. = 0.625"
