PN400B Modular ABS Cable Reel for Wire and Cable Production

PN400B Cable Reel is a modular ABS industrial reel for wire and cable production. This PN400B cable reel combines a 400 mm flange, 160 mm barrel and options for a 51 or 56 mm bore. It is intended for extrusion lines, cable forming and laying-up, and braiding, subject to confirmation against the actual machine, cable diameter and package weight.

PN400B cable reel dimensions

The mid-range production dimensions place the PN400B cable reel in a practical range where package capacity, reel rigidity and routine handling all need to be reviewed together. The listed inner widths of 200 or 250 mm and overall widths of 240 or 290 mm can support different winding and pallet configurations. Confirm which combination is required because the source table groups several size options under the same model reference.

Production applications and equipment fit for the PN400B cable reel

This industrial cable reel is listed for extrusion lines, cable forming and laying-up, and braiding. Before selecting it, compare the reel with the pay-off or take-up spindle, clamping system, lift equipment, guide position and maximum package mass. The 51 or 56 mm bore options must be matched to the machine shaft and locking arrangement; nominal diameter alone does not confirm safe centering or drive engagement.

mid-range reels balance package capacity with manageable handling on typical wire drawing, insulation, twisting and cabling equipment. A production trial should check run-out, concentricity, freedom from snagging, cable winding tension and the operator’s ability to move or lift the loaded package safely. These checks are particularly important when the reel will be reused across more than one production cycle.

ABS material and reusable construction of the PN400B cable reel

The source specification identifies ABS engineering plastic and a modular construction for the PN400B cable reel. The published design emphasizes a smooth surface, high strength, impact resistance, resistance to acid and alkali attack, good balance and a stated balance grade of 6.3 or better. These are manufacturer-listed characteristics; the final acceptance criteria should be agreed in the quotation and sample approval process.

Compared with traditional wood or steel reels, the polymer design is positioned for lower handling weight and repeat production use. Inspect the flange edge, barrel surface, fasteners and carry holes after each cycle. Replace damaged components and keep approved spare parts available so a worn reel does not become a source of cable damage or line downtime.

Buyer checks before approving the PN400B cable reel

• Confirm the required flange diameter, barrel diameter, bore options and width combination.
• Provide the cable diameter, target winding length, maximum package weight and expected line speed.
• Review whether the reel will be used for internal transfer, shipping or repeated return and reuse.
• Approve color, surface finish, model marking and any required identification or labeling.
• Validate spindle fit, lifting access and the receiving pallet or outer packing configuration.
• Request a sample or pre-production unit when the reel is critical to line performance.

Why source the PN400B cable reel through HIQ Packaging

HIQ Packaging provides a single review point for dimensions, quotation, sample coordination and export packing. The public specification is a starting reference, not a guarantee that every listed size combination is interchangeable. Share the machine interface, cable construction and annual volume with the inquiry so the supplier can confirm the correct PN400B cable reel configuration.

Current MOQ, lead time, color availability, component options and freight are confirmed by quotation. The product is not presented with a made-up price or inventory count. This approach helps purchasing teams compare like-for-like technical offers and avoid ordering a reel that fits the drawing but not the production line.

Request a quotation for the PN400B

Use the Industrial Packaging category to compare other PN-series reels, then send the required model and operating details through the HIQ Packaging inquiry form. Include destination, estimated annual quantity and packing preference so the quotation can cover the reel and its transport packaging together.
