Static Bonding and Grounding

We have never had one return in the 20 years we have been producing these. Depending upon normal wear and tear, we have sent out repair kits for handles, locking pins, cable and clamps, but the main spools body has turned out to be almost indestructible. Having said that, it’s still important to inspect, test […]

No, some spools are mounted in shops, used for aircraft refueling, rail industry, coal hoppers in paint shops, well heads, anywhere they are pumping or moving any type of fluid that is non-conductive and the static generated can create a fire or explosion.

We have found that the majority of our customers prefer the 12 gauge stranded steel cable with yellow jacket. This cable works well with our 6” spool, providing a compact system for most static bonding applications. However some companies prefer to use a heavier gauge cable. For this purpose we also carry a 4 gauge high strand

There is a 4” distance between flanges and the core is a 2” diameter

Aaki bonding spools are built to handle voltages and currents associated with static electricity.  This means that the spool will handle high voltages and very low currents.  Grounding applications typically require the device to handle generator voltages (120V to 600V) and currents that may be present during a fault condition (ranging from milliamps to tens

Bonding is the act of electrically connecting two objects together so that the potential difference between them is close to zero volts. Grounding is the act of electrically connecting an object to the earth, also known as earthing. Grounding also has the implication that significant currents may be involved, whereas bonding applies mainly to the
