PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What Is a Strain Clamp?

A strain clamp is a mechanical fitting used to terminate and anchor overhead conductors or fiber optic cables at points where axial tension must be carried—such as terminal towers, angle towers, and tension sections. It transfers the line tension safely to structures.

The clamp grips the conductor/cable by wedging or compression. Correctly selected and installed, it provides high holding power so that the conductor’s tensile load is resisted without slippage.

  • End and angle dead-ends for overhead power lines
  • Dead-ending of ADSS/OPGW optical cables
  • Jumpers and branch line anchoring/redirecting
  • Temporary tensioning for stringing

Types

  • Wedge-type (bolted): Reusable to a limited extent; fast installation; common for conductors and OPGW/ADSS with protection rods/liners.
  • Compression/deformation type: Crimped with hydraulic tools; typically non-reusable; excellent electrical performance for conductors.
  • Preformed dead-end (helical): Common for ADSS/OPGW; distributes stress over a longer contact length.

Size & Strength Specifications

Clamping range (outer diameter)

  • Conductor series: 10–20 mm, 16–24 mm, 18–26 mm, 22–34 mm, 28–42 mm
  • OPGW/ADSS series: 8–12 mm, 10–14 mm, 12–16 mm, 14–18 mm

Ultimate tensile strength (UTS)

  • Conductor series: 90–200 kN across the portfolio
  • Compact/medium sizes (16–24 mm, 18–26 mm): 100–160 kN
  • Large sizes (22–34 mm, 28–42 mm): 140–200 kN
  • OPGW/ADSS series: 60–130 kN
  • Grip efficiency: ≥ 95% of the rated tensile strength (RTS) of the matched conductor/cable when correctly selected and installed
  • Verification: Type-tested to applicable standards; routine proof-load and slip tests available per lot

Features

  • High holding power: ≥ 95% RTS grip efficiency; low slip under heavy ice and long-span conditions
  • Low electrical loss and temperature rise: Optimized current path for conductor types; temperature rise below standard limits
  • Corrosion resistance: Options up to C5 for coastal/industrial atmospheres
  • Fast installation: Standardized tooling, torque marks, anti-loosening provisions
  • Service-friendly: Selected wedge types allow limited re-use; inspection and re-torque procedures supported
  • Broad compatibility: Coverage for ACSR/AAAC/AAC/ACCC and OPGW/ADSS with matched accessories
  • Safety redundancy: Secondary retention features; drop-prevention lanyard holes on large models

Selection guidance

  • Match OD and RTS precisely; choose clamp UTS ≥ 1.2× site design max tension
  • Angle > 30° or radial load intensification: add protection rods/liners; verify tower hardware stress
  • Corrosive zones (C4–C5): prefer A4 stainless or Dacromet + sealing isolation for dissimilar metals
  • Cold regions (< −25°C): choose low-temperature verified variants; confirm anti-brittle performance
  • Ensure compatibility with dead-end fittings (yoke plates, shackles, clevis pins) for hole sizes and strength

Series coverage spans 8–42 mm OD with model ranges like 10–20, 16–24, 18–26, 22–34, and 28–42 mm. OPGW/ADSS variants cover 8–12 to 14–18 mm.

Match the conductor/cable OD and RTS, keep OD within the middle of the clamp range, and choose clamp UTS ≥ 1.2× the site’s maximum design tension.

Working tension is 30–80 kN (conductor) and 20–60 kN (OPGW/ADSS). UTS ranges 90–200 kN for conductor models and 60–130 kN for OPGW/ADSS.

Wedge-type (bolted) models may allow limited re-use after inspection; compression/deformation types are non-reusable. Follow the product datasheet.

Conductor models are designed for low temperature rise and low electrical loss, tested to meet or outperform relevant standards.

Yes. Choose C4–C5 corrosion packages, such as A4 stainless fasteners or Dacromet plus galvanic isolation pads for dissimilar metals.

Yes, with matched variants and correct liners/wedges. Confirm OD and RTS, and follow the manufacturer’s installation procedure.
