The wire is packaged into specially designed and reinforced spools that protect the wire in transport and storage. Every spool is evenly wound with proper tension and pitch to minimize any difficulty in the payoff.
BS EN 60264 series discusses standards for packaging of winding wires. BS EN 60264-2-3 is one of a series which deals with insulated wires used for windings in electrical equipment. BS EN 60264-2-3 specifies the requirements for non-returnable cylindrical barrelled delivery spools made from thermoplastic material.
Cylindrical barrelled delivery spools according to BS EN 60264-2-3 shall be identified by dimension d1 as specified in IEC 60264-2-1. The spools shall be made from thermoplastic materials (for example modified polystyrene) that satisfy the requirements given EN 60264-2-3.
BS EN 60264-2-3 on spools for winding wire packaging is useful for:
Winding wire is wound on spools of different sizes and shapes. All wires are parallel wound flange-to-flange under controlled tension on plastic shipping spools. A nominal wind tension is sufficient to maintain wind integrity during shipment and storage. The combination of shipping spool, spool cover along with a proper packaging and handling procedure, protects the wire during shipping and handling.
BS EN 60264-2-3 includes cylindrical barrelled delivery spools irregularities, construction, spool marking spool mass and dimensions requirements. The cylindrical barrelled delivery spools dimensions and tolerances shall comply with the dimensions and tolerances given in IEC 60264-2-1.
Following specification in BS EN 60264-2-3 for non-returnable spools made from thermoplastic material, lets you manufacture and supply high-quality non-returnable cylindrical barrelled delivery spools to your customers for packaging wires.
