10 GM - reels

REEL DESIGNATIONS

GM reels have the same basic dimensions as those in the VM series, however, the flanges have no ribs on the outside surfaces. The outer surfaces of the flanges are roughened in a star formation and can be used as contact surfaces for braking purposes.

OUTER WIDTH

The outer width of the reels is normally the winding width (L2) plus 2x the flange thickness (S). If desired, however, in conjunction with smaller central bores hub extensions can also be supplied, which then additionally increase the overall width of the reels.

TOLERANCES

All dimensions, weights and loads stated are approximate values; tolerances and deviations which are customary for the industry remain reserved.

IMPORTANT

Shrink-wrapped pallets of packages must not be stored in direct sunlight, as the heat build-up may cause the plastic to warp.

CENTRAL BORES

The reels have a standard central bore of 127 mm (5 inch) in diameter. Smaller diameters of any size can also be supplied by means of additional inserts. For various reasons, it has proven to be best to use bore dimensions which are already used in the relevant standards, e.g. 36 and 56 mm. All bores are fitted with a supporting tube. The bores can also be fitted with a polyamide bush, which increases the abrasion resistance of the central bore. These bushes can be replaced.

DRIVES

Bores or pins are available on request.

SPECIAL REQUESTS

All reels with a barrel diameter d2 >= 200 mm can be bolted for additional strength.
