retractable strain relief?
(OP)
Here is what I want: a constant strain relief on a flexible cable(something like a retractable clothes line). I have seen them, not sure what the actual name of the product. Here is the application. Moving horizontal platens in a hot plate welder. I am going to use turck highflex cable for the multibox attached to the removible welder nest. I am tring to make easier and faster for the setup guys. The only problem is the available space. Hoping someone here might have used something like this before. I want to attach the retractable relief from the top to keep a caonstant tension on the cable to prevent wear and crushing the cable. Thanks ahead of time for your help!

Also look at "festooning systems", used for supporting electrical cables that must follow horizontally moving things like traveling cranes.
