Discussion On The Mechanical Properties Of Wedge-shaped Tension Clamp Structure Design
The dead end clamp with eye hook body uses two opposing wedge-shaped components to cooperate, and the longitudinal force is transmitted through the meshing of the guide groove and the wedge. This geometry ensures that loads are primarily transmitted along the wedge surface, resulting in a relatively stable internal force distribution. As long as the wedge angle, contact surface dimensions, and material mechanical properties are appropriately matched, its stress response will not exhibit overall deformation due to insufficient torque.
Addressing common structural design challenges, when the wedge angle, wedge block material, and friction coefficient are properly controlled, the contact pressure distribution between the conductor and dead end loop clamp is uniform, forming a virtuous cycle in the force transmission chain and avoiding the risk of instability caused by localized high stress concentrations.
During actual production and installation, all components of dead end tension clamp, such as wedge blocks, grooves, and tie plates, must be manufactured according to predetermined manufacturing tolerances and material standards to maintain the mechanical consistency of the entire structure. The synergistic effect of reasonable design details and manufacturing precision ensures that fiber optic dead end clamp does not experience overall structural deformation due to force imbalance under normal operating conditions.
