Tension Clamp Overview
Tension clamps (also known as strain clamps or dead-end clamps) are fittings used to secure conductors, bearing the tension of the wires while connecting them to strain assemblies or poles. Classification Tension clamps can be broadly categorized into two types based on their structure and installation conditions: Type One: These clamps bear the entire tensile force of the conductor or lightning wire, with a gripping force not less than 90% of the rated tensile strength of the installed wire. However, they do not serve as conductive bodies. This type of clamp can be removed and reused after the conductor is installed. Examples include bolt-type tension clamps and wedge-type tension clamps. Type Two: In addition to bearing the full tensile force of the conductor or lightning wire, these clamps also function as conductive bodies. Once installed, they cannot be removed, earning them the name "dead-end clamps." Because they are conductive, their installation must strictly adher...
