Introduction To Knowledge About Wedge-type Tension Clamps

Dead End Clamp mainly uses the wedge principle to lock the steel strand in the wedge-shaped wire clamp. During the installation process, the steel strand is first bent so that the bending shape of the steel strand is like a wedge, and then installed in the wedge-shaped wire clamp. After the steel strand is subjected to tension, the wedge and the steel strand slide toward the conductor outlet together. The friction between the wedge and the steel strand will become greater and greater due to the pressure of the wedge-shaped tension wire clamp wall on the wedge and the steel strand, thus achieving the function of fixing and anchoring the steel strand.

Scope of application of wedge-shaped tension wire clamp:
In addition to being used to install steel strands, wedge-shaped tension wire clamps are also used to tighten lightning arresters, and even in the tensioning of tension towers, wedge-shaped tension wire clamps can be used. The application standards of tension wire clamps can be viewed in the tension wire clamp standards.

Features of wedge-shaped tension wire clamps:
The characteristics of wedge-shaped tension wire clamps are very obvious. First of all, the convenience of installation and disassembly is the main feature of wedge-shaped tension wire clamps. Unlike other tension clamps that connect wires as conductors, wedge-type tension clamps can be disassembled after installation, and the process of installing or disassembling wedge-type tension clamps is very simple.

Not only used to bear the tension of steel strands, wedge-type tension clamps are also used for the terminals of overhead insulated wires and the insulator strings at both ends of the tension end. Its function is to tighten and fix the overhead wires. Another advantage of using wedge-type tension clamps is that there is no need to strip the insulation layer of the wire when fixing it to Xi'an, which shows the simplicity of the installation process.

Unlike other types of tension clamps, wedge-type tension clamps are not often used as conductors, so in terms of electrical performance, wedge-type tension clamps have very strict requirements.
