ADSS Preformed Short Span Tension Clamp Preformed Tension Clamp are designed to hold conductors and strands evenly to prevent conductor deformation. This product is designed for bare and stranded conductors and is recommended for use with plastic sheathed conductors. At the same time, the tension clamp can withstand at least 95% of the rated breaking strength of conductors and strands, and is made of high-strength materials. Composition: twisted wire, rubber insert, cast aluminum shell, right-angle shackle, U-shackle. Purposes: supporting cableï¼?make the ADSS hang on the tower. Structure and Materials Shackle - Constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel, the shackle is linked to the reinforcing bar unit. Twisted Chain Ring - Made of hot-dip galvanized steel, the twisted links serve to connect the shackle to the thimble. Sleeve - Composed of hot-dip galvanized cast steel, the sleeve is inserted into the unclamp of the tension clamp to ensure protection and facilitate connection. Armored Rod - Fabricated from aluminum-clad steel wire, armored rods enhance friction through a layer of granular emery within the cable. These rods are pre-assembled into four subsets to reduce misalignment errors and expedite installation. The ends are bent outward to provide strain relief in critical areas where the cable departs. Prefabricated Dead Ends - These components are constructed from either hot-dip galvanized steel wire or aluminum-clad steel wire and are assembled in the shop into a subset featuring a solid layer of emery. This design increases the grip of the tensioning clamps while minimizing lateral pressure.
