Tension clamps for ACSR conductors are highly engineered products, primarily categorized into two types:

1. Bolted Tension Clamps (Bolted Dead-End Clamps):

   • Description: These clamps consist of a main body with a groove for the conductor and a U-bolt or multiple bolts to tighten the clamp, creating a mechanical friction grip.

   • Application: Bolted clamps are popular for their ease of installation and ability to be reused. They are widely used on low- and medium-voltage distribution lines.

2. Compression Tension Clamps (Compression Dead-End Clamps):

   • Description: This type of clamp is installed by hydraulically compressing a seamless aluminum or aluminum-alloy tube onto the conductor.

   • Application: Compression clamps are the most common type for high-voltage transmission lines. They provide a permanent, high-strength connection with excellent electrical and mechanical properties, ensuring a secure grip on both the steel core and aluminum strands. Our hydraulic crimping tools are specifically designed for this application.
