U bolt clamp for power and telecommunication line

 U bolt clamp for power and telecommunication line

Description:

SMICO's U bolt is also u bolt clamp,  or u clamp, just as the name suggests, this bolt for power and telecommunication line assumes a U-shape. Like other bolts for the electrical overhead line, U-shape is used for connecting dead end and even power line to the pole. It can be used on both the wooden and concrete poles.

Although they are known as U bolt, they are not all the same. Instead, there are some slight variations in the way that they are designed.

These variations of U bolts are; Round U bolt, Square U bolt, and Semi-round U bolt. All these designs or shapes of U bolts can be used on concrete poles.

U bolts for overhead powerline come in different sizes. The smaller ones are mainly used for connecting ball sockets and tension clamps.

In terms of the construction, our U bolts are made of steel rod. This material is known for being strong and durable. It has a high tensile strength that can withstand external forces.

The steel rod is galvanized with a zinc coating that provides surface protection. The coating mainly protects against corrosion.
 

U-Bolt Buying Guide

1.What is U-Bolt?

●When you break it down, a U-bolt may be a bolt bent into the form of the letter “u.” It’s a curved bolt that features threads on each end. Because the bolt is well curved, it fits nicely around pipes or tubing. Meaning U-bolts can secure piping or tubes to support and work as a restraint.

●U-bolts have primarily been wont to support pipework, pipes through which fluids and gasses pass. As such, U-bolt dimensions were measured using pipe-work engineering speak. A U-bolt would be described by the dimensions of pipe it had been supporting. U-bolts also are wont to hold ropes together.

●U bolts are probably the foremost common type of pipe support, but there are many styles within the category.

2.U Bolt Materials

A U-bolt should be strong to perform its work efficiently regardless of the area of application. The strength of any U-bolt for sale is determined by its material.

U-bolts are often made from all types of materials. But they’re usually made from durable metal that’s noncorrosive. Here are some common materials at the guts of U-bolts:

• Plain steel
• Carbon steel
• Stainless steel
• Aluminum

So, which type of U-bolt will fit your application? There are many parameters that you can use to gauge the effectiveness of any U-bolt type.

U-bolt experts or even the manufacturers of U-bolts can guide you on choosing the right type of U-bolt.

3.Applications of U-Bolts

As a piece of formed faster, U-bolts have a wide range of applications in different industries. Some of the industries that heavily depend on U-bolts include;

-For supporting piping structures

-Wire cable

-In automotive leaf spring

4.How are the U-bolts used?

●U-bolts can function very well as a tube or pipe restraint. This means that they keep piping from moving, banging into other structures, and wearing down.

●However, restraining pipes is about quite pinning them down. In some applications, simply holding down piping can cause corrosion at the purpose where pressure plays a major role. When used as a guide, the U-bolt regulates and controls movement without pressing vibrations into a concentrated point. This suggests pipes can move axially, or through the pipe restraint, but won’t bounce or vibrate up and down.

●For Shipping

U bolts also can be used for keeping pipes snug during shipping. Instead of letting pipes soup up and down and break, the U-bolt can restrain pipes while adding a buffer between the pipes and other metals.

●For Elevating Pipes

Another major use of U-bolts is for hanging pipes. Gravity is often technical on piping projects, and therefore the wrong setup can cause corrosion and falling objects. By securing a U-bolt to an overhead structure, beam, or ceiling, you will limit vibrations and secure elevated pipes.
