508mm Large Diameter Stringing Block: Ensuring Conductor Integrity and Smooth Stringing for Heavy-Duty OHTL Projects

On behalf of Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, a prominent China manufacturer and global exporter specializing in comprehensive tools and equipment for power lines, substations, electrical construction, and maintenance, we are proud to introduce our robust 508mm Large Diameter Stringing Block. A fundamental component in the meticulous process of overhead transmission line (OHTL) stringing, this generously sized block is specifically engineered to support and guide power conductors, pulling ropes, and pilot wires across spans, angles, and structures with minimal friction and maximum protection.

The critical 508mm diameter of this stringing block is its key differentiator. For larger conductors, sensitive bundled configurations, and high-tension stringing operations common in EHV (Extra High Voltage) and UHV (Ultra High Voltage) line construction, a larger sheave diameter significantly reduces the bending radius on the conductor. This directly translates to minimized stress, prevention of outer strand distortion, and elimination of surface damage, thereby safeguarding the long-term integrity and performance of your valuable transmission lines. Built with high-strength materials and precision bearings, Ningbo Changshi's 508mm Large Diameter Stringing Block ensures exceptionally smooth, quiet, and reliable operation, making it an indispensable asset for achieving efficient and damage-free stringing on your most demanding power infrastructure projects.

Product Features & Benefits:

The Ningbo Changshi 508mm Large Diameter Stringing Block is engineered for superior conductor protection, robust performance, and enhanced operational efficiency.

  • Optimal 508mm Sheave Diameter: Specifically designed to accommodate large diameter conductors and multi-bundle configurations (e.g., twin, triple, quadruple bundles), significantly reducing bending stress and minimizing permanent set or damage to conductor strands.

  • Superior Conductor Protection: The large radius and smooth groove profile ensure gentle handling of conductors, preventing abrasions, nicks, or deformation during passage, especially critical for high-value aluminum and alloy conductors.

  • Robust & Lightweight Frame Construction: Manufactured from high-strength aluminum alloy or galvanized steel, providing an excellent strength-to-weight ratio for durability without excessive bulk, making installation and handling safer and easier.

  • Precision Sealed Ball Bearings: Equipped with high-quality, sealed ball bearings that offer extremely low friction, ensuring smooth conductor payout and retrieval, minimizing tension variations, and extending the lifespan of the block itself.

  • High Load Capacity: Designed to withstand significant radial and axial loads encountered during tension stringing, suitable for heavy conductor weights and challenging pulling forces.

  • Secure Conductor Retention: Features a robust locking system (e.g., spring-loaded lock pin, bolt-and-nut safety latch) to securely close the block, preventing the conductor or pulling rope from dislodging, even in windy conditions or during dynamic movements.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Frame and components are either made from corrosion-resistant materials or treated with durable coatings (e.g., hot-dip galvanization) to withstand harsh environmental conditions and ensure long-term reliability.

  • Versatile Mounting Options: Available with various attachment points (e.g., universal eyes, clevis fittings) to adapt to different tower types, cross arms, or temporary support structures.

  • Easy Maintenance: Designed for accessibility to bearings and components, facilitating inspection and lubrication for extended operational life.

Product Applications:

Our 508mm Large Diameter Stringing Block is an indispensable tool for:

  • EHV & UHV Transmission line stringing: Essential for installing large single conductors and complex multi-bundle conductors (e.g., 2-, 3-, 4-conductor bundles) on extra-high and ultra-high voltage lines.

  • Long-Span Crossings: Ideal for river crossings, valley crossings, and other long spans where minimizing conductor sag and stress is paramount.

  • Sensitive Conductor Installation: Provides superior protection for delicate conductors like OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) or those with special coatings.

  • High-Tension Stringing Operations: Designed to perform reliably under the significant loads generated by tension stringing methods, ensuring controlled and consistent payout.

  • Re-conductoring Projects: Efficiently guides new conductors during replacement operations on existing lines, minimizing disruption and maximizing safety.

  • Pilot Wire and Pulling Rope Guiding: Can also be used for guiding large pilot ropes or heavy pulling ropes before conductor installation.
