100kN Hydraulic Cable Shear for Copper & Aluminum Power Cables

100kN Hydraulic Cable Shear: Powerful & Precise Cutting for Large Copper and Aluminum Cables

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we understand that preparing large-diameter copper and aluminum power cables requires not only immense force but also precision to ensure clean, distortion-free cuts essential for optimal termination and reliable connections. Our 100kN Hydraulic Cable Shear for Copper & Aluminum Power Cables is a robust and highly efficient cutting tool, meticulously engineered to deliver a formidable 100 kilonewtons (equivalent to 10 tons) of sheer force. This specialized hydraulic cutter is designed to effortlessly slice through the thickest and most challenging soft metal cables, ensuring perfectly round and clean cut ends crucial for subsequent splicing, crimping, or termination. As a prominent China manufacturer and exporter specializing in comprehensive one-stop supply for both overhead transmission line (OHTL) wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment and underground cable laying equipment, this 100kN hydraulic cable shear exemplifies our unwavering commitment to providing innovative, durable, and highly effective equipment that ensures superior safety, efficiency, and the long-term performance of your electrical infrastructure.

The 100kN Hydraulic Cable Shear utilizes powerful hydraulic pressure to drive its hardened steel blades, allowing for smooth, controlled, and precise cuts that are virtually impossible with manual tools of similar capacity. This hydraulic advantage means significantly reduced physical effort for the operator, even when cutting very large diameter copper or aluminum power cables. The "soft metal" designation highlights its optimized blade geometry and material, designed to cut through these malleable conductors without crushing or deforming their intricate strands. Typically, these units feature a remote head design, meaning they connect via a high-pressure hose to an external hydraulic pump (manual, electric, or gasoline-powered), offering flexibility for positioning the cutting head in challenging or confined spaces while the pump remains in a more accessible location. This hydraulic cable shear is an indispensable tool for linemen, electricians, and utility crews working on high-voltage transmission lines, large industrial feeder cables, or underground distribution systems where clean, efficient, and heavy-duty cable cutting is a daily necessity. Its durability, cutting power, and ergonomic considerations make it a vital asset for maintaining and building reliable power networks.

Product Features & Benefits:

• Massive 100kN (10 Ton) Cutting Force: Delivers exceptional power to effortlessly cut through large diameter copper and aluminum power cables, saving time and manual effort.

• Optimized for Soft Metal Cables: Specifically designed blade geometry and material ensure clean, distortion-free cuts on stranded and compacted copper and aluminum conductors without deforming the cable cross-section.

• Hydraulic Efficiency: Utilizes hydraulic power for smooth, controlled, and consistent cutting action, reducing operator fatigue and increasing productivity.

• Remote Head Design (Typical): Allows the compact cutting head to be positioned in tight or difficult-to-reach areas, while the hydraulic pump remains safely and conveniently located externally.

• High-Quality, Durable Blades: Manufactured from hardened tool steel (e.g., CrMoV) with precision grinding for superior sharpness, long-lasting performance, and resistance to wear.

• Quick Opening/Closing Head: Features a spring-loaded or pin-type opening head for quick insertion and removal of cables, enhancing workflow.

• Integrated Safety Features: Includes mechanisms to prevent over-pressure, and secure pin/latch systems for the cutting head.

• Broad Compatibility: Connects seamlessly with various external hydraulic pumps (manual, electric, gasoline-powered – sold separately) to suit different site requirements and power availability.

• Reduces Cable Deformation: Ensures clean, round cuts that are crucial for proper termination, splicing, and maintaining cable integrity.

• Underground cable laying & Splicing: Essential for preparing large power cables in trenches or manholes for jointing, termination, and connection.

• Substation & Switchgear Installations: For precise cutting of heavy-duty copper and aluminum busbars and feeder cables.

• Industrial Plant Electrical Maintenance: Used for cutting large power cables during machinery installation, relocation, or electrical system upgrades.

• Demolition & Salvage: Efficiently cutting large copper and aluminum cables for removal and recycling.

• Electrical Contractor Projects: For heavy-duty cable preparation in large commercial and industrial buildings.

• Telecommunication Power Systems: For cutting primary copper or aluminum power feeder cables to communication equipment.

Technical Data Sheet:

Note: Always verify the maximum cutting capacity and material compatibility for the specific model of hydraulic cable shear. NEVER use this tool on steel wire armored (SWA) cables, ACSR, or steel cables unless the product specifications explicitly state otherwise, as this can damage the blades. ALWAYS ensure the cable is de-energized before cutting. Regular cleaning, proper storage, and maintenance of both the shear head and the hydraulic pump are essential for optimal performance and longevity. Please contact us for detailed datasheets for specific models and their exact cutting capacities for different cable types and materials.
