Automatic Earthwire Grip for OHTL Ground Wire Tensioning

Automatic Earthwire Grip: Secure & Efficient Self-Gripping for Overhead transmission line (OHTL) Ground Wire Operations

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we are committed to providing tools that enhance both the safety and efficiency of power line construction and maintenance. Our Automatic Earthwire Grip is a specialized, meticulously engineered tool designed for securely clamping onto and holding ground wires (also known as earthwires or shield wires), including sensitive Optical Ground Wire (OPGW), during various tensioning, sagging, or positioning operations. As a prominent China manufacturer and exporter, we offer a comprehensive one-stop supply for a wide array of tools and equipment for power lines, and this automatic grip exemplifies our unwavering commitment to practical utility, robust design, and reliable performance for achieving optimal line integrity and worker safety.

Traditional wire grips often require manual adjustment or complex locking mechanisms. Our Automatic Earthwire Grip simplifies this by utilizing a self-tightening or cam-action design that automatically clamps down on the wire with increasing force as tension is applied. This "automatic" feature not only saves valuable time during setup but also ensures a consistently secure, non-slip hold, which is paramount when working with critical earthwires that protect the entire line from lightning strikes and induced currents. It minimizes the risk of wire slippage or damage, making it an indispensable tool for reliable ground wire installation and maintenance.

Product Features & Benefits:

• Automatic Self-Tightening Action: The primary feature, designed to automatically grip the earthwire with increasing force as tension is applied, providing a secure and non-slip hold without manual adjustment.

• Optimal Earthwire Protection: Features precisely machined jaws or gripping surfaces that distribute clamping pressure evenly, preventing crushing, distortion, or damage to the earthwire's outer strands or integrated optical fibers (in OPGW).

• High Holding Capacity: Engineered to securely hold ground wires under significant tension, suitable for sagging, pulling, and holding operations on various OHTL projects.

• Robust & Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-strength forged alloy steel, heat-treated for superior durability and wear resistance, ensuring long service life in demanding field conditions.

• Quick & Easy Attachment: The automatic gripping mechanism allows for fast and simple attachment and release, boosting operational efficiency and reducing worker fatigue.

• Versatile Compatibility: Designed to accommodate a specific range of earthwire and OPGW diameters, ensuring a secure fit for common ground wire sizes.

• Corrosion Resistance: Components are typically galvanized or coated to provide excellent protection against rust and environmental degradation.

• Lightweight & Portable: Optimized for easy handling and transport by linemen working at height or in remote locations.

Product Applications:

Our Automatic Earthwire Grip is an essential tool for a wide range of operations involving ground wires on overhead transmission lines:

• Earthwire/OPGW Tensioning: Crucial for applying and holding tension on ground wires during the initial sagging process to achieve correct tension.

• line stringing & Positioning: Used to temporarily hold or guide earthwires during various phases of overhead line stringing.

• Ground Wire Repair & Maintenance: Indispensable for securing earthwires during splicing, re-tensioning, or other repair activities.

• Tower Top Work: Its ease of use makes it ideal for securing earthwires at the very top of transmission towers.

• Substation Connection: Facilitates controlled handling of ground wires during their connection to substation grounding systems.

• Any Application Requiring Secure Ground Wire Holding: A vital tool for ensuring the integrity and safety of the lightning protection system.

Technical Data Sheet:

Note: Specific technical specifications, including exact working load limit and compatible earthwire diameter range, will vary depending on the model and intended application. Always operate within the stated WLL. Please contact us for detailed datasheets for specific product variants.
