Favero Millennium Reel – The Innovative Cable Reel
ARTOS particularly recommends the Favero Millennium Reel from the cable and connector category due to its durability and advanced engineering.
Innovative Technology
Direct Connection Without Rotating Contacts
By directly connecting the input and output, Favero eliminates the common failure point of rotating contacts.
Efficient Winding System
The cable spool requires only 20 turns to wind the entire cable, reducing spring stress and extending service life.
Durability Through Smart Design
Design features for extended service life:
- Large central pin diameter reduces spring load
- 3 additional springs made from high-quality special steel
- Optimized bending radius minimizes cable fatigue
Cable Protection
Anti-Kink Protection at the Coupling Outlet
A 10 cm (3.94 in) spring protects the cable from sharp bending and reduces tension on the coupling.
Braking System
The braking mechanism slows the winding speed, preventing the coupling from snapping back.
Material and Handling
Robust housing: The Millennium Reel features a robust stainless steel housing.
Advantages:
- Easy to clean
- Very easy to transport due to compact shape
- Space-saving storage
Cooperation
Favero and ARTOS have maintained a strong and successful partnership since 2005, built on quality, reliability, and continuous innovation.
