Application fit

Is NSHTÖU right for your machine?

Choose by movement, not by industry. NSHTÖU is a horizontal reeling cable; vertical and free-hanging duty need a cable with a strain member.

Motorised monospiral reel

Suitable

Cranes, stackers and transfer cars travelling horizontally, up to 120 m/min.

Cylindrical / multi-layer drum

Suitable

Multi-layer winding on hoists and mobile machines; derate current for wound layers.

Festoon & line chain

Suitable

Round cable on line chains and trolley systems.

Trailing & towing

Suitable

Supply cable for mobile transport equipment and construction machinery.

Vertical / spreader reel

Not suitable

Rated for horizontal reeling; sustained hanging load needs a strain member.

Use RXX / RXX-D

Free-hanging vertical run

Not suitable

Long suspended lengths overload the conductors without a support element.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What is the difference between NSHTÖU-J and NSHTÖU-O?

-J (marked “G”, e.g. 4G25) includes a green-yellow protective conductor; -O (marked “X”) does not. Match the version to the earthing scheme of your machine — a power or control core must never replace the protective conductor.

How do I check the bending radius on my drum?

Typical NSHTÖU allows 5 × the outer diameter in motion up to 20 mm OD and 6 × OD above, so the drum core should be at least twice that. Outer diameter changes with every size — use the reel check on this page, then confirm guide rollers and the cable entry with our engineers.

Can NSHTÖU be used on a vertical spreader reel?

No. NSHTÖU is rated for horizontal reeling, line chains and trailing. Vertical reels and long free-hanging runs need a cable with a central strain member, such as RXX / RXX-D.

Is the anti-torsion braid a screen?

No. The plaiting is mechanical reinforcement that prevents corkscrewing. Standard NSHTÖU is unscreened; for encoder, bus or other sensitive signals, ask for a screened design.

How fast can NSHTÖU reel, and how much pull can it take?

Typical ratings are up to 120 m/min travel speed, 0.4 m/s² acceleration and a tensile load of 15 N/mm² of total conductor cross-section — the size table shows the resulting pull per size. For faster cranes, send your reel data; a high-speed PUR reeling cable such as TRA may suit better.
