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 60264-3-2 is one of a series which deals with insulated wires used for windings in electrical equipment. BS EN 60264-3-2 specifies the requirements for returnable Taper barrelled delivery spools with conical flanges made from thermoplastic material.
Taper barrelled delivery spools with conical flanges according to EN 60264-3-2 is identified by the relevant dimension d1 and l1 as specified in IEC 60264-3-1. The spools shall be made from thermoplastic materials (for example modified polystyrene) that satisfy the requirements given EN 60264-3-2. The materials used shall not have a deleterious effect on the conductor or the covering of the winding wire.
BS EN 60264-3-2 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 60264-3-2 includes taper barrelled delivery spools irregularities, construction, spool marking spool mass and dimensions requirements. The taper barrelled delivery spools dimensions and tolerances shall comply with the dimensions and tolerances given in IEC 60264-3-1.
Following specification in BS EN 60264-3-2 for returnable spools made from thermoplastic material, lets you manufacture and supply high quality returnable taper barrelled delivery spools with conical flanges to your customers for packaging wires.
