A Tension Clamp, also known as a Strain Clamp or Dead-End Clamp, is a high-performance metal fixture engineered to secure power and communication wires. These critical components are designed to withstand immense wire tension and facilitate the stable hanging of conductors onto tension strings or towers, ensuring the structural integrity of the overall grid.
Our professional-grade tension clamps are versatile solutions used for corner, splice, and terminal connections. From bolt-type and wedge-type options to specialized fiber optic cable fittings featuring spiral aluminum clad steel wire, our products ensure maximum grip strength and vibration reduction for ADSS optical cables and lightning protection wires.
| Clamp Category | Type 1 (Non-Conductive) / Type 2 (Conductive) | Application Scope | Corner, Splice, and Terminal Connections |
|---|---|---|---|
| Min. Clamping Force | ≥ 90% of rated tensile force (Type 1) | Cable Compatibility | ADSS Optical Cables, Lightning Protection Wires |
| Optical Grip Strength | ≥ 95% of rated tensile strength | Max Span Length | ≤ 100 Meters (for specific ADSS fittings) |
| Material Speciality | Spiral Aluminum Clad Steel Wire | Structural Types | Bolt Type / Wedge Type / Dead-End Type |
| Primary Function | Tensile Load Bearing & Anchoring | Installation Goal | Vibration Reduction & Stress Distribution |
Engineered to withstand 90% to 95% of rated tensile force, ensuring wires remain secure under heavy loads.
Designed for fast and convenient deployment, significantly reducing on-site construction time and labor costs.
Spiral aluminum clad steel wire eliminates concentrated stress and protects optical cables from wind-induced vibration.
Ideal for non-linear towers, cable towers, and complex corner or splice connections in power lines.
Rigid construction prevents slippage, providing a permanent anchoring solution for dead-end wire installations.
Available in conductive types that serve as both a tension anchor and a current conductor simultaneously.
Efficient tracking of clamp categories including wedge and bolt types for seamless supply chain management.
Strict testing of tensile strength to ensure every batch exceeds 90% of rated conductor force.
Systematic guidelines for ADSS optical cable installations with spans up to 100 meters.
Scheduled inspections for dead-end clamps to ensure long-term stability and safety.
Fast shipping for essential power fittings to reduce project downtime and construction costs.
Expert guidance on selecting between conductive and non-conductive tension clamps for specific grid needs.
| Evaluation Metric | Standard Clamps | Our Premium Tension Clamps |
|---|---|---|
| Installation Speed | Slow/Manual | Rapid/Optimized |
| Tensile Security | Variable Grip | ≥ 95% Rated Strength |
| Cable Lifespan | Moderate Stress | Low Stress (Vibration Red.) |
| Maintenance Cost | High Frequency | Low Frequency |
| Overall ROI | Standard | Significantly High |
Type 1 clamps focus solely on bearing tensile forces and can be removed after installation. Type 2 clamps (dead wire clamps) serve both as a tension anchor and an electrical conductor, meaning they cannot be disassembled once installed.
Our fiber optic cable tension fittings use spiral aluminum clad steel wire to reduce vibration and eliminate concentrated stress, maintaining a grip strength of at least 95% of the cable's rated tensile strength.
They are primarily used for corner connections, splice points, and terminal ends of power or communication lines where the wire must be permanently anchored to a tower.
For our specialized fiber optic cable tension sets, they are suitable for ADSS optical cable lines with a span of ≤ 100 meters.
Yes, tension clamps are specifically designed to secure both main conductors and lightning protection wires to tension insulator strings on towers.
Ensuring the clamping force is ≥ 90% (or 95% for optical cables) of the rated tensile force prevents cable slippage and ensures the stability of the line under extreme environmental weather conditions.
