What is the main difference between suspension clamps and tension clamps?

2025-08-13
Suspension clamps and tension clamps, while both used in overhead transmission lines, serve fundamentally different purposes. Suspension clamps (also known as suspension clamps) are designed to "suspend" the conductor from the insulator string in a straight run of the line. Their primary function is to support the conductor's weight and allow for slight conductor movement while minimizing stress. They are typically used on tangent poles or towers. Tension clamps (also known as dead-end clamps or strain clamps) are designed to withstand the full mechanical tension of the conductor. They are used at the beginning and end of a line, at angle towers, or at large spans to anchor and secure the conductor. Our company manufactures both types of clamps, engineered for high reliability and performance.
