What is a cable tensioner
A MARSHINE cable pulling tensioner is a specialized mechanical device used to maintain controlled tension when pulling overhead or underground power cables and conductors. The tool ensures that the cable is laid with constant tension, preventing sagging, stretching or damage during stringing operations. It is widely used in power transmission, telecommunication line installation and infrastructure projects.
A MARSHINE cable pulling tensioner typically consists of a hydraulic brake system, a tension controller, a grooved or large wheel, and a sturdy structural frame. They can handle single or multiple conductors and are compatible with different conductor sizes and tensioning speeds.
How to use
Bellow are the steps for using the MARSHINE cable pulling tensioner:
Setup: Place the tensioner at the start or midpoint of the cable run and ensure it is securely fastened.
Cable loading: Place the conductor or cable into the groove of the large wheel. Use clamps or guides to secure it properly.
Tension adjustment: Use the hydraulic control system to set the desired tension to match the cable specifications.
Stretching operation: Use a winch or other stretching equipment to start stretching the cable. The tensioner will automatically maintain the set tension while allowing the cable to move smoothly.
Monitoring: Continuously monitor the tension level during operation and adjust as needed.
Proper training and adherence to safety procedures are essential for effective use.
Maintenance Guide
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and durability of MARSHINE cable pulling tensioner:
Hydraulic System: Check hydraulic oil level and check for leaks. Change filters and lubricants as recommended.
Wheels and Bearings: Clean grooves and lubricate bearings regularly to ensure smooth rotation.
Tension Meters and Controllers: Test control system accuracy and responsiveness regularly.
Fasteners and Frames: Check for loose bolts, wear or cracks in the structure and tighten or repair as needed.
Storage: When not in use, store in a dry, clean area away from corrosive environments.
