Multi-Functional Hydraulic OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner: Precision Tension Control for OPGW, ADSS, and Earthwire Reclaiming/Replacing

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we understand the increasing complexity of modern overhead transmission line projects, which often involve not only the installation of new communication cables like OPGW and ADSS but also the efficient maintenance and upgrade of existing infrastructure. Our Multi-Functional Hydraulic OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner for OPGW, ADSS & Earthwire Reclaiming/Replacing is a state-of-the-art machine meticulously engineered to provide unparalleled precision, control, and versatility. This hydraulic tensioner is designed not only "to pull and spread OPGW [and] ADSS" fiber optic cables with the utmost care but also to efficiently "reclaim earthwire and instead cable wire," making it an indispensable asset for a wide range of sophisticated stringing, upgrading, and maintenance 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 multi-functional tensioner exemplifies our unwavering commitment to providing innovative, durable, and highly effective solutions that ensure the integrity, efficiency, and safety of your critical power and communication infrastructure.

The Multi-Functional Hydraulic Tensioner operates on a sophisticated closed hydraulic circuit, offering stepless speed variation and constant tension control, which is absolutely vital for the delicate nature of OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) and ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable stringing. By applying precise back tension, it prevents excessive sag, micro-bends in the fiber, and ensures smooth, controlled conductor payout, critical for maintaining the optical integrity of these communication lines. Beyond fiber optic installation, its multi-functional design allows it to efficiently reclaim existing earthwires (also known as overhead ground wires) and simultaneously string new ones, or even string new conductors in place of old ones during reconductoring projects. This is achieved by combining tensioning capability with integrated pulling functionality. The bull-wheels are designed with specific groove profiles and high-friction, non-abrasive linings to handle various cable types, from sensitive fiber optic cables to traditional steel or aluminum conductors, without causing damage. Equipped with an advanced electronic dynamometer and a sophisticated control panel, operators can precisely monitor and adjust tension in real-time, ensuring adherence to strict project specifications. By deploying Ningbo Changshi's Multi-Functional Hydraulic Tensioner, you gain a highly versatile, safe, and efficient solution for complex overhead line stringing, upgrade, and maintenance projects.

Product Features & Benefits:

  • Precision Tension Control for Fiber Optics: Advanced closed hydraulic circuit provides stepless speed variation and maintains constant back tension, crucial for safe and damage-free stringing of sensitive OPGW and ADSS cables.

  • Dual-Functionality (Tensioning & Reclaiming/Replacing): Capable of both applying precise tension during conductor/cable stringing and simultaneously reclaiming existing earthwire/conductors while stringing new ones, offering superior versatility and efficiency for upgrade projects.

  • Optimized Bull-Wheel Design: Features multiple grooves with specialized high-friction, wear-resistant, non-abrasive linings (e.g., nylon or steel) designed to securely grip various cable types, from delicate fiber optic jackets to robust conductors, without causing damage.

  • Integrated Tension Management System: Equipped with a high-accuracy hydraulic dynamometer (force gauge) and electronic tension preset system with automatic control, allowing real-time monitoring and adjustment of pulling/tensioning force.

  • Enhanced Safety Protocols: Incorporates an automatic negative hydraulic brake in case of pressure drop, hydraulic front stabilizers, and essential grounding points to ensure maximum safety during all operations.

  • Powerful & Reliable Engine: Driven by a robust, water-cooled diesel engine (e.g., Cummins, Deutz, Yanmar) ensuring consistent performance and ample power even in demanding field conditions and remote locations.

  • Intuitive Control & Monitoring: Clear control panel with displays for tension, speed, and meters, along with ergonomic controls, simplifying operation and enhancing precision.

  • Hydraulic Reel Winder (Standard on many models): Facilitates automatic and level winding of the reclaimed wire or pilot rope onto a storage reel, improving efficiency and site organization.

  • Durable & Robust Construction: Built with heavy-duty frames and high-quality, globally recognized hydraulic components (e.g., German Rexroth, Italian R.R.) for exceptional durability and long service life.

Product Applications:

Our Multi-Functional Hydraulic Tensioner is an essential asset for a broad range of complex overhead line projects:

  • OPGW Cable Stringing: Precisely controls back tension during the installation of Optical Ground Wire for new or upgraded transmission lines, ensuring fiber integrity.

  • ADSS cable installation: Ideal for the tensioned stringing of All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) fiber optic cables on power transmission or distribution lines.

  • Earthwire Reclaiming & Replacement: Efficiently removes old earthwires while simultaneously stringing new earthwires or OPGW in their place, streamlining upgrade processes.

  • Conductor Reconductoring: Can be used in conjunction with a puller to replace existing power conductors with new ones while maintaining controlled tension.

  • Live Line Works (with appropriate safety procedures): Certain models and configurations can support hot line operations for conductor or earthwire changes.

  • Communication Network Upgrades: Facilitates the high-precision installation of fiber optic backbone infrastructure along existing power corridors.

  • Utility & Electrical Contractor Projects: A versatile machine for complex projects requiring precise tension control for various overhead cables and wires.
