Preventing damage to sensitive and expensive advanced conductors like HTLS and OPGW is paramount. Our OHTLstringingequipment.com/Conductor-Stringing-Equipment.html target='_blank'>conductor stringing Tools are specifically designed with features to ensure their integrity:

• Specialized pulling grips / Running Boards: These tools are engineered with a longer, more flexible mesh or multi-conductor contact points to distribute the pulling force evenly over a greater surface area. This prevents localized stress points that could crush the delicate composite core of HTLS conductors or the optical fibers within OPGW.

• Precision Crimping Dies: For crimping tools, dedicated dies are manufactured to exact tolerances for each specific HTLS or OPGW conductor type. This ensures the correct compression force is applied, creating a secure connection without deforming or damaging the conductor's internal structure.

• High-Capacity, Low-Friction OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks: For HTLS and OPGW, Stringing Blocks feature larger sheave (wheel) diameters to minimize the bending radius and reduce stress on the conductor. The sheave linings are made of ultra-low friction, non-abrasive materials (e.g., specific polyurethanes) to protect the conductor's outer strands.

• High-Efficiency Anti-Twist Swivels: These are non-negotiable for OPGW and bundled HTLS conductors. They are designed to freely rotate under load, absorbing any torsional forces from the pulling rope and preventing them from transferring to the conductor, which could otherwise unravel bundles or damage optical fibers.

• Controlled Tension Measurement: Accurate dynamometers and tension meters allow for precise monitoring of the forces applied during stringing, ensuring that the conductor remains within its safe working load limits at all times.

• Smooth-Action Design: Tools are designed for smooth, controlled operation, minimizing sudden jerks or impacts that could stress conductors. This applies to manual tools, as well as powered ones with controlled acceleration/deceleration.
