Minimum cable bend radius

Minimum cable bend radius

Minimum cable bend radius

(OP)
Q1) Does anyone know how to determine the minimum bend radius of electrical cables?
I am trying to design a cable reeler system for 2 types of cable used in a camera support vehicle:
1) 11mm dia Triax
2) 25mm dia Power cable

Q2) Does anyone know of an easy way to determine how much cable can be stored on a reel, such as a formula or an online chart etc?

Much appreciated - Dino UK

RE: Minimum cable bend radius

the best thing i will do is contact the manufacturer of the cable and give all the details of the project. In this manner you have somebody to help you out in case in didnt work well...
