What is the difference between a tension clamp and a suspension clamp?
2025-08-10The key difference between a tension clamp and a suspension clamp is their function and application on a power line.
-
A suspension clamp acts as a cradle for the conductor, supporting it from above on a straight run of line. It's designed to allow for a degree of movement to accommodate conductor sway.
-
A tension clamp, by contrast, is designed to anchor the conductor at the end of a span. It must withstand the full tension of the conductor, gripping it firmly to prevent slippage.
Our engineering team can help you select the right clamp for your specific project's requirements, ensuring safety and compliance with international standards.
