Sprocket / Gear Driven Cable Reeling Drum

What is a Sprocket / Gear Driven Cable Reeling Drum?

A Sprocket Driven Cable Reeling Drum is a mechanical cable winding system that uses a drive sprocket/gear mechanism to wind and unwind cables systematically. This type of CRD is ideal for cranes and heavy machinery, where smooth and controlled cable retraction is essential.

Unlike spring-operated drums, which have design limitations and limited winding life, gear-driven CRDs offer higher durability, greater efficiency, and superior cable tension control. These drums are commonly used in heavy-duty industrial operations requiring long cable travel distances and vertical movements.

Construction & Working Principle of Gear / Sprocket Driven CRD

Construction:

A Gear / Sprocket Driven Cable Reeling Drum consists of:

• Driving Sprocket / Gear – Transfers motion to wind or unwind the cable.
• Driven Sprocket / Gear – Controls the movement of the drum.
• Slip Ring Assembly – Ensures seamless electrical connectivity.
• Winding Drum – Guides and stores the cable efficiently.

Working Principle:

The driving mechanism (sprocket or gear) is synchronized with the client’s drum system.

As the system moves, the cable is automatically wound or unwound based on travel direction.

The gear drive eliminates excessive tension, ensuring smooth and controlled movement.
