Motor - driven Cable and Hose Reels
Manufacturer: Cavotec Specimas



For more than 35 years Specimas has been involved in the development and manufacturing of motorised cable reels for horizontal and vertical applications, both for continuous and intermittent duty.

Specimas uses different driving systems for different applications and sizes. The range includes the Hydrodynamic system, the Torque motor, the Permanent Magnet Clutches, the Electromagnetic Clutches and, for the largest reels, the Direct Torque Control.

In 1977 Specimas introduced the "Pull and Store" system to solve the problem of cable overtension in high installations,adopted in thousands of installations.



Special Cable and Hose Reels
Manufacturer: Cavotec Specimas


Using their large experience and advanced engineering facilities, Specimas is prepared to design customized equipment in order to meet specific customer requirements.

The reels can be fitted with the hydrodynamic system, electromagnetic coupler or torque motors. Specimas produces special motorised driven reels for a number of applications and markets. Among these are tunnelling and mining, steel mills and aluminium plants, concrete plants, mobile transformer stations, telecommunications vehicles, fuel pumps and mobile control stations, as well as other conventional crane applications.





Spring - driven Cable and Hose Reels
Manufacturer: Cavotec Alfo


A wide range of springdriven reels to be used for horizontal and vertical applications are available from Alfo Cavotec stock. These reels are built with modular components which allow a great number of combinations able to cover most requirements.

The spring reels are strong and well designed in order to guarantee the highest reliability even in difficult applications. All steel plates and parts are either hot-dip galvanised or have a polyester coating which guarantee a long life time.






Slipring Columns
Manufacturer: Cavotec Specimas

Transfer of electrical power and signals during rotation is accomplished by our wide range of collectors columns. Featuring unique multicontact patented brushgear, extensive use of stainless steel parts and very compact design, they have set the standard for others to follow. Special slipring columns for high voltage, highamperage or for applications requiring customized designs can be supplied.








Sliprings ESK and GSK
Manufacturer: Cavotec Alfo


This range of collectors is used for the transmission of power and signals. Designed for space saving, can be installed vertically or horizontally. With or without their protection cover, these collectors are at work in severe industrial environments.









Electrical plugs and sockets - low and medium voltage
Manufacturer: Cavotec Connectors


Cavotec connectors are robustly designed to allow use in harsh and difficult environments such as mines, tunnelling, marine applications, steel works, railways, ports, bulk and container terminals. The low voltage range starts at 100A and goes up to 600A 1kV with electrical or mechanical interlocking. They can be delivered in our own standard manufactured panels, including short circuit breakers. A range of multipin outlets for control cables are also in the product range with a max of 50 pins and 15 Amps.







Electrical plug and sockets - high voltage
Manufacturer: Cavotec Connectors/TJB


Working voltage is up to 15 kV and units are rated up to 500 Amps. It is a range of high voltage plugs and sockets which provide a flexible and convenient means for connecting or extending portable power cable from power points to mobile cranes, generators, earthmoving, mining and tunnelling equipment.









Panzerbelt® Cable Protection System
Manufacturer: Cavotec Specimas


A unique continuous flexible system,for covering cable channels and conductor-bar slots. Panzerbelt® construction features a steel reinforced rubber belt which withstands cross traffic of vehicles. There are more than 200 installations around the world including ports, shipyards and steelworks. Developed over 20 years ago, this patented system provides long term trouble-free operation with minimum maintenance.








Mercotac and Aurotac Rotating Connectors
Manufacturer: Mercotac, Eletca


Mercotac combines mercury with compatible metals to form highly reliable rotating electrical connections for up to 8 channels with low resistance and capacitance. Their high integrity makes them well suited for highly sensitive circuits such as instrumentation, robotics, video, and digital signals. Their low cost and durability also allows their incorporation in rotating lamps, signs and displays. The Aurotac rotating electrical connectors, designed and manufactured by Eletca, are ideal for transmitting signal and control circuits in applications where high revolutions per minute, low (electrical) noise, and low resistance prohibit the use of conventional sliprings. They are useful in many areas such as: computers, instrumentation, robotics, strain gauges, cable reels, etc.





Permanent Elevators
Manufacturer : De Jong


Designed and manufactured in perfect compliance with all the major safety regulations, De Jong permanent elevators are based on the rack and pinion concept for their movimentation. They are used in container cranes, power stations, chimneys, offshore, mining and any industrial site.
