Cable Length
Don't Cut Yourself Short!

[1]	EXTRA CABLE AT REEL, shown in TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 on the facing page, is REQUIRED for internal connections and one (1) safety wrap. The safety wrap is wound onto the reel.	*IF GLEASON SUPPLIES THE CABLE, correct Cable Length, rounded up to the nearest foot, is automatically calculated based on your input.* *IF YOU ARE CUTTING YOUR OWN CABLE*, please follow our calculation method shown on this page.
[2]	ACTIVE CABLE is the amount of cable you require to cover the Active Travel distance. THIS CABLE IS WOUND ONTO THE REEL. See "Selecting".
[3]	OVERHANG means any extra cable you require beyond Active Travel. THIS CABLE MUST *NOT* BE WOUND ONTO THE REEL. The reel is not designed to wind or lift the weight of this extra cable **.	Reels in this catalog are calculated to handle factors [1] and [2]** ONLY. If you have any [3], we will be happy to make specific reel model calculations for you.

EXAMPLES Lift A reel is needed for lifting 10C #14 cable. Active Travel is 40.0 ft. Lift Selection Chart shows Model No. S16801-103-9-1 Refer to Table 1. Plotting a 9 inch diameter drum and slip ring ass'y 103 specifies that this reel requires five (5) extra feet of cable at the reel. Active Cable is equal to the 40.0 ft. of Active Travel. No overhang is required.		NOTE: IF REEL AND CABLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO LIFT (SUPPORT) AN ADDED WEIGHT OF ANY KIND, THIS MUST BE CONSIDERED. CONSULT FACTORY.
Stretch A reel is needed for stretching 10C #14 cable in one direction. Active Travel is 40.0 ft. Stretch Selection Chart shows Model No. S16801-103-9-1 Refer to Table 1. Plotting a 9 inch diameter drum and slip ring ass'y 103 specifies that this reel requires five (5) extra feet of cable at the reel. Because of the 6% SAG, Active Cable is greater than the 40.0 ft. of Active Travel. Active Cable = Active Travel x 1.01 Active Cable = 40.0 x 1.01 Active Cable = 40.4 ft. Overhang of 3.5 ft. is required.	* GLEASON S-REEL SPRINGS MAINTAIN SAG AT 6%. FOR GREATER SAG FACTORS. PLEASE CONSULT US.
Retrieve A reel is needed for retrieving 10C #14 cable. Active Travel is 40.0 ft. and reel is mounted 2.5 ft. above the ground (lift height). Retrieve Selection Chart shows Model No. S16621-103-9-5 Refer to Table 1. Plotting a 9 inch diameter drum and slip ring ass'y 103 specifies that this reel requires five (5) extra feet of cable at the reel. Because of your LIFT HEIGHT, Active Cable is greater than the 40.0 ft. of Active Travel. 2.1 Active Travel = 40.0 2.2 Lift Height = 2.5 ft. 2.0 Active Cable = 40.0 + 2.5 = 42.5 ft. Overhang of 3.5 ft. is required.	* GLEASON S-REELS IN THE SELECTION CHARTS FIGURE IN A MAXIMUM MOUNTING HEIGHT OF 3.0 ft. IF REEL IS TO BE MOUNTED HIGHER THAN 3.0 ft. CONSULT THE FACTORY FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.

*TABLE 1* Series "S" "EXTRA CABLE AT REEL" for Series "S" reels includes one safety wrap around the drum, cable through the shaft and cable connections to the slip ring leads. When you have selected a reel model, the model number will indicate drum diameter and slip ring assembly code.

CALCULATIONS FOR ORDERING OR CUTTING

[1] EXTRA CABLE AT REEL, shown in TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 on the facing page, is REQUIRED for internal connections and one (1) safety wrap. The safety wrap is wound onto the reel.
IF GLEASON SUPPLIES THE CABLE,
correct Cable Length, rounded up to the nearest foot, is automatically calculated
based on your input.

IF YOU ARE CUTTING YOUR OWN CABLE, please follow our calculation method shown on this page.

[2] ACTIVE CABLE is the amount of cable you require to cover the Active Travel distance. THIS CABLE IS WOUND ONTO THE REEL. See "Selecting".

[3] OVERHANG means any extra cable you require beyond Active Travel. THIS CABLE MUST NOT BE WOUND ONTO THE REEL. The reel is not designed to wind or lift the weight of this extra cable **.
** Reels in this catalog are calculated to handle factors [1] and [2] ONLY. If you have any [3], we will be happy to make specific reel model calculations for you.

EXAMPLES

Lift
A reel is needed for lifting 10C #14 cable. Active Travel is 40.0 ft. Lift Selection Chart shows Model No. S16801-103-9-1

Refer to Table 1. Plotting a 9 inch diameter drum and slip ring ass'y 103 specifies that this reel requires five (5) extra feet of cable at the reel.
Active Cable is equal to the 40.0 ft. of Active Travel.
No overhang is required.
NOTE: IF REEL AND CABLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO LIFT (SUPPORT) AN ADDED WEIGHT OF ANY KIND, THIS MUST BE CONSIDERED. CONSULT FACTORY.

Stretch
A reel is needed for stretching 10C #14 cable in one direction. Active Travel is 40.0 ft. Stretch Selection Chart shows Model No. S16801-103-9-1

Refer to Table 1. Plotting a 9 inch diameter drum and slip ring ass'y 103 specifies that this reel requires five (5) extra feet of cable at the reel.
Because of the 6% SAG, Active Cable is greater than the 40.0 ft. of Active Travel.
Active Cable = Active Travel x 1.01
Active Cable = 40.0 x 1.01
Active Cable = 40.4 ft.

Overhang of 3.5 ft. is required.

* GLEASON S-REEL SPRINGS MAINTAIN SAG AT 6%. FOR GREATER SAG FACTORS. PLEASE CONSULT US.

Retrieve
A reel is needed for retrieving 10C #14 cable. Active
Travel is 40.0 ft. and reel is mounted 2.5 ft. above the
ground (lift height). Retrieve Selection Chart shows
Model No. S16621-103-9-5

Refer to Table 1. Plotting a 9 inch diameter drum and slip ring ass'y 103 specifies that this reel requires five (5) extra feet of cable at the reel.
Because of your LIFT HEIGHT, Active Cable is greater than the 40.0 ft. of Active Travel.
2.1 Active Travel = 40.0
2.2 Lift Height = 2.5 ft.
2.0 Active Cable = 40.0 + 2.5 = 42.5 ft.

Overhang of 3.5 ft. is required.

* GLEASON S-REELS IN THE SELECTION CHARTS FIGURE IN A MAXIMUM MOUNTING HEIGHT OF 3.0 ft. IF REEL IS TO BE MOUNTED HIGHER THAN 3.0 ft. CONSULT THE FACTORY FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.

TABLE 1 Series "S"
"EXTRA CABLE AT REEL" for Series "S" reels
includes one safety wrap around the drum, cable
through the shaft and cable connections to the slip
ring leads.

When you have selected a reel model, the model number will indicate drum diameter and slip ring assembly code.
