Cable Spacer
Bolted cable spacers are precision-engineered fittings used to maintain fixed separation between bundled conductors in overhead transmission lines. Installed at defined intervals along span lengths, they control sub-conductor spacing to mitigate aeolian vibration, prevent conductor clashing, and preserve bundle geometry under wind and thermal loading conditions.
Manufactured from high-strength aluminum alloy or galvanized steel components with elastomeric inserts, bolted cable spacers provide secure mechanical retention while minimizing conductor surface damage. The bolted assembly design enables accurate torque-controlled installation and reliable long-term performance in high-voltage environments.
Key Features
- Fixed Bundle Spacing: Maintains predetermined conductor separation for electrical and mechanical stability.
- Vibration Control: Reduces sub-span oscillation and galloping in bundled conductor systems.
- High Mechanical Strength: Designed to withstand tensile, compressive, and dynamic wind loads.
- Corrosion Resistance: Hot-dip galvanized steel or corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy construction.
- Elastomeric Clamping Inserts: Protect conductor strands from abrasion and stress concentration.
- Torque-Controlled Bolted Design: Ensures consistent clamping force and secure installation.
- Standards Compliance: Manufactured to meet relevant IEC and utility transmission standards.
- Low Maintenance Performance: Engineered for extended service life in harsh environmental conditions.
