Description
Axis Suspension Clamps for Insulated Neutral Messenger System (SCI) are used along with a bracket or other supporting hardware to suspend and grip, without damaging, the insulated neutral messenger of a LV-ABC system by means of an adjustable lock that accommodates a range of cable sizes. The clamp and bracket are available factory-assembled or separately.
Materials:
- Body, Movable Link & Lock: UV and weather resistant, high strength engineering-plastic.
Features & Benefits of Axis Suspension Clamps:
- Exceeds requirements of NF C 33-040 and other international standards.
- Withstands extreme conditions leading to long life, safety, low maintenance and reduced lifetime cost.
- The Engineering plastics used provide additional insulation, strength and enable live line working without additional tools.
- The design facilitates longitudinal and transversal movements allowing easy turning in congested areas.
FAQ’S
Q.1 What is a Suspension Clamp and what is its primary function?
A Suspension Clamp is a mechanical device used to support overhead conductors while allowing limited movement and reducing mechanical stress. It is mainly used in power transmission lines to suspend the conductor from the insulator
Q.2 What types of Suspension Clamps are available at Axis India?
Axis India offers a range of Suspension Clamps including bolted and compression types, designed for various conductor sizes and installation needs. Each Suspension Clamp is manufactured with corrosion-resistant materials for durability in outdoor environments.
Q.3 Are Suspension Clamps suitable for high-voltage transmission lines?
Yes, Suspension Clamps are suitable for high-voltage lines. They are built to maintain conductor stability, reduce vibration, and allow safe suspension without damaging the conductor, making them ideal for long-span or heavy-load installations.
Q.4 What is the difference between a Tension Clamp and a Suspension Clamp?
Tension Clamps are used to hold conductors under tension and prevent movement, while Suspension Clamps support the conductor’s weight without applying tensile force. Both serve different mechanical purposes in power distribution systems.
Q.5 What materials are used to manufacture Suspension Clamps?
Suspension Clamps are commonly made from aluminum alloys, galvanized steel, or ductile iron. These materials provide high mechanical strength, weather resistance, and long service life in both urban and rural installations.
Q.6 How do I choose the right Suspension Clamp for my installation?
Selecting the right Suspension Clamp involves considering the conductor size, voltage level, and environmental conditions. Axis India provides technical specifications and expert guidance to help you choose the most suitable clamp for your project.
