KATO MKT Motorized Cable Reeling Drum (Wide Winding)

The BM Makina KATO MKT Motorized Wide Winding Cable Reeling Drum is a motor driven cable reeling system developed for the safe, tidy winding of long-distance, large cross-section power and control cables. The wide winding (multi-spiral) design lets the cable wind in multiple layers, so even long, heavy cables are stored on a compact drum. A brake motor, BM Makina’s proprietary magnetic coupling and a gearbox keep cable tension under control, while uninterrupted power and signal transmission is provided by the slip ring unit integrated into the drum hub.

The KATO MKT Wide Winding Drum is the ideal solution for electric construction machinery, port and crane applications, in-plant mobile systems and rail maintenance facilities — wherever energy efficiency and safe cable management are required.

Wide winding motorized cable reeling drum (multi-spiral) design: multi-layer winding stores long, thick cables on a compact drum — suitable for large cross-section power cables and heavy cable weights. Magnetic-coupling motor drive: brake asynchronous motor + magnetic coupling + gearbox limits cable tension at a constant torque; as the machine accelerates or slows, cable is wound or paid out under control, protecting cable and mechanics. Uninterrupted power and signals via slip ring: even while the drum rotates, 3-phase power, control circuits and optional data signals flow continuously — the mobile machine stays connected to the grid across its whole working range. Heavy-duty body and corrosion protection: steel drum and chassis, hot-dip galvanized or industrial acrylic/epoxy painted — suited to dusty, corrosive port, mine and steel plant environments. Wide cable diameter and weight range: model options cover everything from thin control cables to heavy medium-voltage cables; the drum is optimized to the project’s cable data. Horizontal / vertical axis options: drums can be designed to operate on a horizontal or vertical axis to match machine layout at sites, ports, factories or warehouses. Optional guiding and limit systems: cable level-wind systems for tidy layering, plus limit switches and sensors protecting at full pay-out or full wind-up.
