Description
Axis Anchoring Clamps for Insulated Neutral Messenger System (ACI) are used along with a bracket or other supporting hardware (as a customized option), and are used to strain the insulated neutral messenger and also to provide angles of a LV-ABC system without damaging the cable’s insulation. The clamp and bracket are available separately or factory-assembled.
Materials:
- Body : High strength cast aluminum alloy.
- Wedges : UV and weather resistant engineering-plastic.
- Bail : Corrosion resistant flexible stainless steel wire.
Features & Benefits of Axis Anchoring Clamps:
- Exceeds requirements of NFC 33-041 and other international standards.
- Engineering plastics provide additional insulation, strength and enable live line working and without additional tools.
- Withstands extreme conditions leading to long life, safety, low maintenance and reduced lifetime cost.
- Captive Design Clamp with a bracket used for straining, reduces installation time and cost.
- Two clamps with a bracket used for large angle assembly which allows for easy turning in congested areas
FAQ’S
Q.1 What is an anchoring clamp and where is it used?
An anchoring clamp is a mechanical device used to secure and hold aerial bundled cables (ABC) firmly on poles or structures. It is commonly used in low and medium-voltage power distribution networks to anchor conductors at the end of a span or at directional changes.
Q.2 What types of anchoring clamps are available at Axis India?
Axis India offers a variety of anchoring clamps, including wedge-type and bolt-type designs, to accommodate different cable sizes and mechanical load requirements. Each anchoring clamp is manufactured from UV-resistant, weatherproof materials for long-term performance in outdoor environments.
Q.3 Are anchoring clamps easy to install?
Yes, anchoring clamps are designed for quick and secure installation without the need for special tools. Their simple mechanism ensures reliable cable grip while reducing installation time and labor costs on-site.
Q.4 What is the purpose of an anchoring clamp in power distribution?
The main purpose of an anchoring clamp is to provide mechanical support to the aerial cable by anchoring it securely to poles or structures. It prevents cable movement due to wind, tension, or other external forces.
Q.5 What materials are anchoring clamps made from?
Anchoring clamps are typically made from high-strength aluminum alloys, stainless steel, or fiber-reinforced polymer. These materials provide durability, corrosion resistance, and the mechanical strength needed for long-term use in electrical distribution systems.
Q.6 How do I choose the right anchoring clamp for my installation?
Choosing the right anchoring clamp depends on the cable diameter, voltage level, and environmental conditions. Axis India provides detailed product specifications and expert consultation to help you select the ideal clamp for your application.
