How do different types of cable rollers and sheaves enhance safety and efficiency during cable laying?
2025-08-14underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers and sheaves play a vital role in protecting cables and workers. They provide a frictionless path for the cable, allowing it to be laid with minimal force and without being dragged along the ground or against sharp edges. Different types serve specific purposes:
-
Straight Line Rollers: Positioned along the length of a trench to support and guide the cable.
-
Corner Rollers: Designed with multiple vertical rollers to navigate bends in the trench without damaging the cable's bending radius.
-
Manhole Entry Rollers: A specialized design used at the entry points of manholes to guide the cable cleanly from the surface into the underground duct.
By using the correct type and number of rollers, you ensure the cable's bending radius is not compromised, reduce the required pulling force, and significantly decrease the risk of cable sheath damage, leading to a more reliable and lasting installation.
