Conductor Mesh Sock Grip for Overhead Line Stringing (Pass-Through Design)

Conductor Mesh Sock Grip (Pass-Through Design): Secure & Gentle Pulling for Overhead line stringing

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we understand that the successful installation of overhead transmission lines, especially those utilizing sensitive steel core aluminous stranded wires (such as ACSR, AAC, AAAC), demands pulling grips that are both incredibly secure and non-damaging. Traditional grips can sometimes exert uneven pressure, potentially deforming or scoring the conductor surface. Our Conductor Mesh Sock Grip (Pass-Through Design) is a meticulously engineered, specialized tool designed to provide a uniform, high-strength grip specifically "to connect and grip various steel core aluminous stranded wires in releasing wires." Its innovative "mesh sock" construction ensures even pressure distribution, while its streamlined design means it "can pass through various releasing wire block and tensioning wheel" with ease, a critical feature for efficient tension stringing operations. 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 pass-through mesh sock grip exemplifies our unwavering commitment to providing innovative, durable, and highly effective equipment that ensures superior safety, efficiency, and the long-term performance of your crucial power line construction projects.

The Mesh Sock Grip operates on the principle of distributed gripping pressure. Unlike rigid jaw grips, the woven wire mesh of this sock conforms tightly around the conductor when tension is applied, creating a long, firm, and uniform contact area that minimizes localized stress points. This is particularly vital for composite conductors like ACSR, where maintaining the integrity of both the steel core and aluminum strands is paramount. The "pass-through design" is a significant advantage in modern tension stringing, allowing the grip to smoothly navigate through OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks (pulling sheaves) and tensioning wheels without requiring the complex and time-consuming removal and reattachment of the grip at each support point. This continuous pulling capability drastically increases efficiency and reduces manpower requirements. Manufactured from high-strength galvanized steel or stainless steel wires, our mesh sock grips are built to withstand immense pulling forces while gently cradling the conductor. By integrating Ningbo Changshi's specialized Conductor Mesh Sock Grips into your stringing operations, you ensure damage-free installation, enhanced safety, and significantly optimized project timelines.

Product Features & Benefits:

• Uniform, Non-Damaging Grip: The woven mesh construction applies even radial pressure around the conductor, preventing scoring, crushing, or deforming sensitive steel core aluminum (ACSR, AAC, AAAC) or all-aluminum conductors.

• "Pass-Through" Design: Specifically engineered with a slender profile to smoothly and safely "pass through various releasing wire block and tensioning wheel" (stringing sheaves), allowing for continuous pulling without interruption.

• High Strength & Durability: Manufactured from high-grade galvanized steel wire or corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring exceptional tensile strength and long service life in demanding outdoor environments.

• Self-Tightening Action: The mesh structure naturally tightens its grip around the conductor as tension increases, providing a secure and reliable connection during the pull.

• Versatile Conductor Compatibility: Available in a wide range of sizes to securely grip various diameters of stranded conductors, accommodating different power line specifications.

• Flexible & Adaptable: The flexible mesh allows for easy installation over the conductor end and adapts well to minor variations in conductor diameter.

• Enhanced Safety: Provides a secure connection point, reducing the risk of slippage or disengagement, which can lead to dangerous situations during stringing operations.

• Increased Efficiency: The pass-through capability drastically reduces installation time by eliminating the need to stop and re-rig at each block or wheel.

• Protects Investment: By preventing conductor damage, these grips extend the lifespan of expensive power cables and reduce the need for costly repairs or replacements.

Product Applications:

Our Conductor Mesh Sock Grip (Pass-Through Design) is an essential specialized tool for various overhead transmission and distribution line stringing projects:

• Overhead conductor stringing: Primary application for pulling new conductors (ACSR, AAC, AAAC, etc.) during tension stringing operations.

• Pilot Wire & Pulling Rope Connection: Can be used to connect pilot wires or pulling ropes to the conductor or to each other.

• Passing Through Stringing Blocks: Designed for seamless movement through conductor stringing blocks (sheaves) on poles and towers.

• Navigating Tensioning & Pulling Wheels: Essential for passing through the bullwheels of Tensioners and pullers without requiring removal.

• Mid-Span Splicing & Repair (Specific Types): For temporary gripping during conductor splicing or repair tasks where a non-damaging hold is required.

• Reconductoring Projects: Used when replacing old conductors with new ones on existing lines.

• Sagging Operations: Can be used to apply tension during conductor sagging to achieve the correct catenary curve.

Technical Data Sheet:

Note: Always select a Mesh Sock Grip with a Working Load Limit (WLL) and diameter range appropriate for your specific conductor type and maximum anticipated pulling tension. NEVER exceed the stated WLL. Thorough inspection for any signs of wear, broken strands, deformation, or corrosion is mandatory before each use. Any damaged grips must be immediately removed from service. Ensure the grip is properly installed on the conductor with sufficient engagement length. Please contact us for detailed datasheets for specific models and their exact load capacities and compatible conductor sizes.
