Performance Of The Force Transmission Path Of Suspension Clamps In Overhead Lines

j hook suspension clamp When suspending conductors or optical cables, the vertical load is transferred to the hanging point components through the main body suspension clamp for ab cable, and then to the pole or insulator string, realizing the longitudinal transmission of the load. The suspension clamp for abc cable wire groove, pressure plate and U-bolt are combined to form the wire support. The stress state in the contact area between the conductor and suspension clamp for lt ab cable varies with conductor tension, suspension angle and environmental load, and exhibits a band-shaped pressure distribution on the contact surface, with higher stress at the edges.

Rigid components such as the suspension clamp main body and lugs bear the gravitational load and occasional lateral force from the conductor, with the load path extending along the fiber suspension clamp hardware structure to the tower mounting point. Under external loads (such as wind loads or ice/snow adhesion), these forces are transferred to the pole foundation through connecting components. This force transfer process requires consideration of component stiffness and connector strength to maintain line stability. During the design phase, mechanical models are typically used to analyze the contact state and load distribution between the conductor and the cable suspension clamp, and to optimize the component geometry and materials to adapt to the actual stress environment.
